future releases should push the hardware far more the the original releases.
Gamecube games looked clearer - I tested Star Wars Lego 2, Metriod Prime 2 and with Mario Kart.
Mario64 on the virtual console was far better looking an looked really good in 480p. The game looks far better than the original N64 release due to the cleaner cleared visuals and increased definition.

This little toy was possible the biggest revolution to happen to my driving in all the years since I passed my test. I had seen a friend use it and knew I was going to be happy with it.
The unit comes supplied with a software package to connect to your pc for updates via the internet, and a usb cable to connect and recharge the unit, and a cigarette lighter so you never run out of power on the move.

The unit is simple, neat and effective. Finding your destination is pretty easy and can be done a number of ways, by ...
