The Revolution will be Nintendo's smallest console - the final form apparently smaller even than the dainty sleek black prototype held up by Satoru Iwata and seen on the Internet earlier today - and plays 12cm optical discs as well as GameCube titles, features 512MB of onboard Flash memory storage with the option to add SD memory cards, has two USB 2.0 ports, stands up straight or lies flat, and, critically, opens the gateway to the company's entire pre-Cube back catalogue on NES, SNES and N64 via a broadband service governed by a proprietary Digital Rights Management system.

thats cool as shit, few mates round, select any old game and bang it on, ultimate console
It's probably like that yes. Another quote from the article:
The most positive thing, however, was the sense that Revolution will make strides into areas that neither Microsoft nor Sony are attempting to control. It was the backwards compatibility on two levels - described as the "secret weapon" in press literature distributed after the conference - that drew the most interest. "We have designed Revolution to be a virtual console capable of downloading 20 years of Nintendo content," we were told. It will play NES, SNES and N64 titles, and will be able to play "virtually every Nintendo console game ever created". Iwata said he hoped it would "make us all feel young again".
I'm afraid you'd still have to pay for the games (well, at least the N64 games). I'd be very surprised if you could play those for free, but if that would be true, that reason alone would be worth buying this console
