Revolutionary Dreams…

I was thinking about Nintendo’s next system and the idea of wireless game sharing came to mind. If the DS can do it… why wouldn’t the Revolution be able to?

I don’t know if its technologically feasible… but the way I see it it can work like this:

Your Revolution is connected to the Internet via WiFi, and you’ve put you zipcode into it… the Revolution knows where it is. This way, the Revolution can sense other consoles in the immediate area (maybe 10, 20 miles… to keep down latency) and if they are playing a game (Say… Smash Bros Rev.) you can download a limited version of the game to play against them… or download a ‘demo’ from them. It’d be like DS gaming sharing on a larger level. You’d be able to meet up with people that actually live around you, because they’d be ‘sharing’ their games with you and you with them.

This would also serve a technological purpose, as I think the closer you are to a server… the faster it will be tranfered. If it can’t be done with actual Revolution software because of the technology… why not allow it with the older games?

Any other feasible ideas you guys got about the Revolution that we haven’t heard? I’m interested in seeing what other people can come up with thats actually feasible.
