I still think the GBA SP and GC are the pinacle of system art design/direction.

They make make great games and great consoles, but fucking hell they release some shit ass looking consoles...
I'd usually agree with you but in this case you are talking bollocks sir. Though it doesn't look as nice as the PS3.

It's the size of 3 DVD cases put together.
While I don't really care for this design, it does have some things that show they thought about it, like the diagonal placement in the stand.

ok, but THIS is really, really cool:
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.

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

I would dig that if they set the pricing for the older titles accordingly.
