Nintendo Revolution: No free classics here

In Modern Systems


This article confirms that Nintendo will not be simply giving away classic games for Revolution. While that would be nice and undoubtedly boost sales of the console, I'll keep my NES game collection, thank you...Nintendo Revolution is nothing to me than a TV remote with a side of recycled overpriced classics. This may boost the NES interest again...

Yea, I heard this a while ago. The only way they could make me download some older games, rather than buying the "real" game is to have Online. Now that would be cool.

I would have been more suprised if they were free. I think i'll stick to buying the "real" games as well.

I predict the rev will bomb. I dont think the big N will ever be number 1 again. Oh well.



I think theres a lot of support so far. I've been on IGN boards for quite some time, and theres about 100 people who post on the rev board, and most of them (almost all) think its a great idea. I'm not judging until I try it. Its nice that you can still use a controller for some games though.

I know you had to pay before they said it. And by the way just to let you know FREE ONLINE!!! so I think that makes up for it.



Wouldn't that rock if a guy made a mod so he could make NES ROMs play on it..?

I'm quite sure some guys will at least try to mod it so you can run all kinds of emulators on it.

Emulators nothin', I think that Nintendo's claims of reverse compatability may leave a program succeptable to exploitation if they chose to simply the process by adding their own emulators (which, as they know their hardware, will be much more efficient) and could be exploited for use on slower consoles. Sounds lame, but it would be something at least looking into for some of the 1337 |-|/-\X0RZ out there.

I agree

I dont know whats up with Nintendo. I think the owner is getting old 'cus none of the new system stuff is making any since. arh! So confused. Thats why so far Im all for the 360. <-----look over there

Things sometimes don't make 'since' at first, but turn out great..






I have no idea about its how heavy it is but I do know that if it lands on your foot the right way somethin' might break. or jam a toe or two. but I know it'll leave a bruse. (...I've never had to spell "bruse" before so that might be wrong) But Xbox has Halo and I'd REALLY love to see the New Gen. Halo games. eat, sleep, kill, eat, eat, kill, kill, kill, kill, eat, and kill some more.

:EDIT: the name "murder_killz" looses its machoness when its in pink...

Dont get me wrong im all for Nintendo but its the general masses/casual gamers out there who usually get the ps's and the xbox's. I usally go for nintendo first but this year i wanna try something different since most of the 3rd party companies work for sony or microsoft platforms.

could care less, I'm still going to download them, I'm sure the price will be right.
