"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...

They'll probably end up making you use stars to buy the games, so techinically you're not paying any MONEY, and they are FREE, but they'll cost about 1500 stars each. Joy.

Also whicever developer made the game owns the rights to its code, so Nintendo can't sell any games that it does not own. If they can claim they own the copywright to GOldeneye then they can sell it, but I'm 100% sure it belongs to Rareware.

That game RULES. :) I downloaded it after playing ToS. I managed to find a ROM with an english translation, and I can't stop playing it. I have exams in just over a week, but meh.

Who cares about this news. You can download any title off the internet for free anyway.

More good news: Revolution 2* will be out on time after Dringo's extended sentence. Meanwhile, the Revolution will have it's RRP reduced to £1, which means the Dring will be able to own one fully after his current lease agreement has expired.

It probably wont work like this...but weren't Rareware a 2nd Party developer under Nintendo's wing during the Nintendo 64 days?

Therefore, just like Nintendo can re-release Rareware made games such as Donkey Kong Country, couldn't they technically provide Goldeneye for download for the Revloution?

The answer is probably no, as EA have the Bond rights, but say an SR branch find an unsold new copy of the N64 game, they would still be able to sell that, and Nintendo will have already made their gain...

I'm just being hopefull I thnk...

Harrison knows squat. I'd be very suprised if this turned out true when they could make money from it.

Look how well the NES classics series did.
