It's blurry cuz they are using anti-aliasing to remove the jaggies, not
cuz they dont' have enough RAM.

The extra ram ain't gonna give them more polygons to play around with. 
That's the processor's job so the fog would stay if the developers
choose it to.

Maybe that may improve but hell, the cart limits will make the sounds
low quality anyways.  Sound technology is always improving and they can
compress the hell out of the audio.

This should improve I think but that's another job for the processor.

Unfortunately this is false.  The N43 still has a 8k texture limit no
matter how much video ram it has so the textures won't be high res or
improved.

Nothing to talk about.  You aren't gonna go "hey did you see that South
Park game for N32? It has mature content!!!!" at work or skewl.

Maybe they can aid some crosshairs this iteration so you can actually
aim.  Just cuz 1 game has a potential of being violent duzn't mean the
general consensus on that console system will change.

Or the dreamcast comes out and show us arcade graphics at home.  We
should see some high polygons and really detailed textures unlike the
n43.

True, like how they added extra stuff to the SNES carts.  THe RAM
upgrade goes into the N43 console itself, which the other systems COULD
have too if they wanted to cuz they have expansion slots.

Or maybe you might get distracted by the gals wearin' next to nothing.
