I had a feeling that Analogue would be announcing an N64 console.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe the N64 is not capable of RGB output. When I try using my Gamecube RGB SCART cable with my N64, it doesn't work. As far as I can remember, my RGB SCART cable does work with my Super NES.
So, I have to use a non-RGB SCART cable with my N64, and the picture quality on a modern LCD TV is pretty bad. Whereas the Gamecube with RGB SCART on an LCD TV doesn't look anywhere near as bad as the N64 does.
I am therefore certainly planning to buy one of these new consoles. It will be great to be able to play my N64 cartridges without the appalling picture quality.
This does look like a useful device to backup my Gamecube saves safely forever. However, what this article doesn't mention is whether this memory card device works without any problems on the Wii.
I prefer to play my Gamecube games on my Wii, and I have read that official 1019 memory cards can sometimes be corrupted when used on a Wii. That's never happened to me on my Wii, but it concerns me a little. So, before I consider buying this MemCard device, I'd like reassurance that it works fine on a Wii.
