I don't know how they are going to plug a 20 year old robot system

I think the above pretty much sum's up not only how I feel but the
intentions of Nintendo. You get a lot of bang for your buck and with
Atari selling 100's of thousands of Flashback's and the whole retro
craze this will appeal to those people too. It is a brilliant idea,
since all it really requires is 3 emulators to pull off.

Chuffin 'ell!
It'd be a bit difficult to get bored with all that lot for free. There's
some quality titles in that list.
Phil Da Lick!
Does it? If they've already got N64 and SNES emulation running no probs
on the GCN hardware all they need to do is emulate the GCN in revolution.
Leon Dexter
> for FREE on Revolution:
Sounds like wishful thinking to me. Too many games in that list require
peripherals that are long dead, and that's a Japanese list besides.
Nintendo doesn't own the US or other territories' rights to some of those
games.
We can assume that there will be a whole bunch of games available, sure, and
still hope that them being free is going to hold, but this list just looks
like Famitsu made a list of every Nintendo-published game ever made. It'd
be more convincing with a few of the tricky ones left out.

Don't forget, they have NES games running fine, too. You can play NES games
in Animal Crossing and Metroid Prime. So they've already got emulators for
all their past home consoles.
Phil Da Lick!
That was my point. Theres quite a few games on that list that'll
definitely be downloaded to my revolution. Only thing I've got to work
out now is whether my import console will have regional lockouts n
stuff. Hmmm...

Wasn't there a 'mini' gyromite game released recently?
Almost like a keychain thing.

Revolution going to come with a free billion gig hard drive? I don't know
much about techie things but it'd be nice to know how many of those games
you'll actually be able to keep on the console. Sorry if I'm ignorant and
there's something I don't know.
S:MS:M
S:MS:M
really small and will go on the 0.5 Gb storage space on the console or on
memory sticks. Sorry. I assumed they'd all take up loads of space and you'd
only be able to keep a few at a time or something. Ignore me.
S:MS:M
Phil Da Lick!
Theres a slot so obviously you can buy new memory cartridges. Generally
speaking, the older the console, the smaller the rom image for a game.
NES games in particular will be tiny so you should be able to fit loads
onto the memory device.
Phil Da Lick!
Even if you could only keep a few at a time, so what? Broadband+wi-fi
router+free download service=no problem.
Martin Wilson
> Here is a full list of 221 Nintendo PUBLISHED games that will be available
>for FREE on Revolution:
Thats pretty amazing but I suspect some will be fully free and some
will require points/codes obtained from getting Nintendo products.
Probably the Revolution itself will come with generous points or a
code to enable access to a certain number.
When I get my revolution which now seems to be a certainty at any
reasonable price there is definitely about 20-30 games I would love to
have on the Revolution basically my favourite snes/n64 games.
The Revolution seems to be a celebration of gaming both future and
past. This is a refreshing direction compared to all the
mulitimedia/pvr crap with the Xbox 360. As a first person shooter fan
I probably will end up with a 360 at some point but I absolutely hate
the direction microsoft are going with it.
Stay on course, Nintendo you've got my vote.
Ted
It would be a problem in two ways: 1) someone who doesn't have wifi and
needs to take their Gamecube somewhere to leech a signal and 2) when
Nintendo inevitably discountinues the service at some point in the
future. There may of course be official or unofficial workarounds for
these issues, but it is a potential issue.
An analog that comes to mind is the VMU animations you could get for
Shenmue on the Dreamcast. You had to go online with the Dreamcast to get
them, and once web support for the game was droppd there was no way to
get them (and I have halfheartedly looked for a way to get them since
then, and haven't found a code or a depository of the files; I should
look into that more). Additionally, there were games within Shenmue that
required you to go online to redeem the codes for the items in the game;
you can get those items by using a cheat code, but there is now no way
to actually complete an item collection without cheating.
Assuming these things are completely free, then no one has much ground
to complain, except to the extent Nintendo is playing it up to sell
consoles (or other things, if there is a point redemption system in
place). We'll see how that plays out. If it were to be more like an
iTunes type thing where you're paying 99¢ a game, people would have a
lot better ground to complain, and would complain a lot more loudly.

You're forgetting the power pad as well. And although you could play
Mario Paint with a regular controller, they might as well through a
mouse in there as well. :)

For that you'd just need a wireless router.

The Revo is supposed to have very advanced voice recognition software
built in.

And broadband internet (unless Nintendo allows you to use slow wireless
for downloading stuff (unlike Microsoft with Live), in which case you
could buy a basestation with a modem (like Apple's Airport stations,
except the Airport Express iteration), and end up paying for a piece of
hardware in order to get the "free" content very slowly (for the newer
games, at least; the NES downloads would be inconsequential in terms of
time, even on dial up).

Actually, if the Revolution has gyroscopic sensors (or some other motion
sensors), those could substitute for a light gun with the right programming.

I'm still wishing that Nintendo would also provide a standard Ethernet
port. The WiFi option is nice for some things, but the simplicity of
a cat-5 cable is nice too. Plus, despite how cheap routers can be, why
insist on your customers having one? The $29.99 spent on that could be
spent on another game.
Or, do I see some Nintendo-brand Wifi routers in the future?

They also said you can use a USB connection...
Rob
It is said the Revolution will have a 20 gig hard drive. Now this should be
able to store plenty of NES, SNES and even N64 games.
The largest N64 is only 16mb, meaning it could store over 1200 games. Now
NES games are only several hundred kilobytes, allowing the best part of
40,000 to fit on the hard disk.
Thats enough retro for me anyway!
Rob
Vitani
afaik, the Revo will only have 512Mb on-board storage. I could be wrong
though

Unfortunately Nintendo dispelled that rumor long ago, no free retro
games with the next console. If there will be any NES/SNES/N64
reissues, it will be sold separately.
