"Harrison then confirmed that past-gen, Nintendo-created titles will indeed be downloadable for free."
Well, this is a minor bonus. The thing is, though, it's only talking about Nintendo-created titles. Which could potentially narrow the list of titles available down to about 20. Meh.
Also, the fact that this is probably the best Revolution news so far is also a little concerning...
I think we can all agree Alfonse is a moron.

You're COMPLETELY missing the point that many people only download old games that aren't avaivlable anymore... Hence this has zero effect on buying (new) games, because the games being downloaded simply aren't available to buy new anymore.
Yeah, this obviously isn't everyone, but it's what both myself and Stafio have said... Meh.

If they stopped making games I think it would be a great thing. More excercise = more ladies.

It's not [I]as[/I[ bad though, as you're getting a lower quality game, and the person that did own it is losing it, so if they want to play it again, they have to buy a new one.
