JL> I wouldn't take much stock in what Nintendo says about their hardware
 JL> before it comes out.  Nintendo also said that the SNES CD-ROM was
 JL> coming out but that never happened.  Even if the modem was included
 JL> what would it be used for?  Nintendo certainly doesn't know, otherwise
 JL> they would have been bragging about it by now.
  But did you ever actually see the SNES CD drive or get any specs on it?  
We've already got a good deal of such info for the 64D .
  The modem?  Well, given the lack of any "Nintendo Channel" announcements, I 
take it they'd want to use one for head-to-head modem games.  Given the 
relative abundance of people who play modem Doom and such around here still, 
it seems likely.
