'Revolution' will be backward compatible with GameCube, be wi-fi enabled.
SAN FRANCISCO (CNN/Money) Ã‚â€“ Nintendo dropped the first hints about its next generation video game console Thursday, joining the growing battle for pre-emptive consumer awareness.

President Satoru Iwata, in a keynote speech at the Game Developer's Conference, said the new machine, currently code-named Revolution, will be backwards compatible. That is, it will be able to play all existing GameCube games, as well as ones specifically designed for the new system. Revolution will also be wi-fi enabled, allowing owners to play others around the country for free.

Powered by an IBM (Research) processor and featuring a graphics chip designed by ATI (Research), the Revolution is not expected to hit U.S. stores until middle of 2006, or later.
