"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...

Tomm, that's utter BS.

Emulators are legal. Fair enough. But copies of copywritten games are not.

I have the game and console, but just decide to run it on an emulator on my PC. Tis great, and not in the least bit illegal :P

Ok

For starters: I know a whole load of you download music so you're basically doing the same thing. Anyway. When I download games I only do it if I have no money and I have never downloaded anything that I could find in the shops. In conclusion you can all kiss a hairy ass.

His excuse will be, "Well if they're free to download onto Revolution, then what harm am I doing?"

The copyrights last for 75 years. Therefore, Nintendo can supply them for free if they choose to. But no one else can. Nintendo will be making the money from Revolution sales. If someone really wants to play a certain Nintendo game, they can by legally downloading off of Nintendo. By downloading and/or providing them for download elsewhere, Nintendo could argue they're losing potential sales of their console.

The coolest ISP ever!
In my opinion, the ISP is the best I have ever used. They guarantee 'first time connection - everytime', which they have never let me down on.
Wonderful...
... and so easy-to-use even for a technophobe like me. I had my website up in a couple of hours. Thank you.
