Well my guess is these are guarentees, and they are going to talk to the other companies about the rest.

I'm thinking that you'll have to BUY the downloader software for each console (NES, SNES, 64 etc...) and it will have the software to download games from that console only. So pay $50 once and you get to play any NES/SNES/N64 game you like (No not all in one, you will probably have to buy the disc for every system.) whenever you like. (The NES one will prolly have a Light Gun option, and if you don't get it the first time with the software, you can buy it later.) Then... it might be free and you'll only need to get a Zapper. Wait and see.

hmm...I'm surprised that they're listing Disk Drive titles.
Also, I really hope it's free, and if not hoping that it's something like $0.02 a game or something (and if that they better allow you to redownload the game after you buy it since the revolution has limited storage (unless of course they allow you to fill up memory cards with the games

))

Um, did no one read what I said? They won't be making all the old games available. And they won't be free. That list was from someone's mis-translation from a Famitsu article. Nintendo will be either charging for the games they make available, and/or will just include them as bonuses in new games.

Nintendo said (i think during e3) any first-party games that they make avalible for DL will be free. (from NES, SNES N64, etc.)

Yeah, especially considering Hey You Pikachu is on the list. The Revolution would require a microphone to play that at all...

I can expect Revolution to have all these... it's the Revolution, and Nintendo surely have a trick up there sleeve this time. They need to get back to the mass-market after the semi-failure of the N64 and Gamecube

No they didn't. I have the video. Iwata never said all the games would be available to download. Nor did he say they would be free. People just assumed that for some reason.

No, they said in some conference that if they put any first party games up for download, those games would be free. I saw the video, but i'm not sure what it's from.

Sorry that I'm killing all your happines but

:

(from IGN.com)

There's some disappointing news for those expecting these classics to be available for free. Nintendo is planning on pay downloads as being the standard for this download system. There will be many types of services, though, including limited time free downloads. One possibility mentioned by Iwata is free downloads as bonuses for buying new games.

Ah, so that's what they meant. Thanks for the link.

Satteleview
215. BS F-Zero 2 Grand Prix
216. BS Special Tee Shot
217. BS Zelda

Talk about poorly chosen names!

Disclaimer: I did not mean to say that i believe that this list is bs or that the Sattelview is BS, i only meant to say that i believe that "BS Zelda" is a poorly chosen name for a game.

the games people want to have on the list arnt even liscenced by nintendo (FF3, Crono Trigger, Megaman, TMNT, Earthworm Jim) so why are so many people complaining about that fact..

besides if you want to play the original games.. buy the original games.. most people here have a wack of the older systems (of couse, not all of them working if you're like me) anyway.. and i know people here enjoy the old systems or else they wouldnt want to make them portable..
