It's been known that Nintendo's upcoming Revolution console will offer a download service for Nintendo's back catalog of games. Today they announced Sega Genesis/Megadrive games will be available, as well as TurboGrafx-16/PC Engine games. Sweet!  |

Interesting. And according to IGN, we'll be seeing more than 1,000 Genesis titles available for download.
I always suspected we'd be seeing Sega games on the Revolution, but the TurboGrafix is completely out of left field for me.
I'm rather psyched for this next Nintendo console. Giddy, even.

I haven't anticipated a new console like this since perhaps the Atari Jaguar.  By the way, welcome to the forum, Johnny! RedWolf |

Seeing classic Sonic games NATIVE on a Nintendo system, just makes me giggle. I cant wait until I can see Sonic 1 on Revolution, I may just buy it...  |

Let's hope the hacker community figures out a way to let us use our OWN ROMs...

Something about how Nintendo's keynote speech talked about development costs and indie developers says to me that it might be possible for Rev owners to offer their own home-brew games for play on Nintendo's online service...time will tell... :twisted: |

Thats bull. I dont want a game system to reply on an online service, because, like the Dreamcast before it, once they close down the service, some parts of it are worthless.

Let's hope the hacker community figures out a way to let us use our OWN ROMs... They probably will. But you can already play those ROMs on your PC.. which gives me another idea for a thread... Thats bull. I dont want a game system to reply on an online service, because, like the Dreamcast before it, once they close down the service, some parts of it are worthless. Yeah, I know. I hate that too. I'm actually planning an article on that very phenomenon some time in the future. If you see some other blog get to it before me, then you'll know they stole the idea from me. :lol: |

I don't particularly think the Rev will require online service, like Valve's Steam system. But given time, the Rev will be hacked to run unlicensed software. Heck, even the Cube does. :shock: EDIT: removed incorrect specs. |

All consoles get hacked, one way or another. I just don't want to have to re-buy and download all the classic games I already have! That would be really unfair, but I can't see it having about 50 ports to put in your different carts. lol, It would be funny though having Metroid, Zelda, and Mario all sticking out of it. Haha.

I know what you mean. I don't like the idea of buying a new copy of my classic games every 5-10 years in a different format. So I don't. Thank God for PC emulation. I never really "play" games via emulation, though -- 99% of the time I use the original hardware. RedWolf |

I think the only time I would actually rebuy a game that I already have is for my portables. I like playing Mario on the go! ^.^

Like, I play old NeoGeo games on GeoMame, but I still want the AES system (with those freaking huge joysticks that are about the size of the console itself). |
