 Well I read today that It probably won't ship with a modem. But I
 did read some good things about it. Like if you buy Zelda 64. You
 can buy a cheap Disc, with more story and characters in it. And
 the sequel is Planned. Zelda DD, but you only buy the Disc. It
 runs off the Cart's engine, but the story and new stuff is on
 the disc.
 They also said that Some games will be mutli disc! Yay! And the
 disc only hold 64MB because they cost less. But they could make
 discs that hold much more. Maybe if DD is a huge hit. We can get
 128 Mbytes (not bits) discs.
