Among the features offered by Nintendo's latest creation we mention: WiFi connectivity, 512 MB of flash memory, wireless controllers, and 2 USB ports. The engine of the Revolution onsole is IBM's processor called �Bradway", which is backed by a graphical solution provided by ATI, code named �Hollywood". This combination will offer gamers an unprecedented gaming experience from graphical and processing point of view. The console will know two disc formats, the self-loading bay replacing the tray system being compatible both with 12 cm optical discs designed for Revolution and the discs for GameCube. The system will include a SD memory card and it will be compatible with all the titles from the last 20 years designed for: Nintendo 64, Super Nintendo Entertainment System and even Nintendo Entertainment System.
