Er ... yes, yes it is.
Although anyone can write a list.

Watch me go now:

Socks,
Chimney,
Marble horse head,
Assorted religious texts,
Frosted window panes,
Dusty roller blinds,
Dead spider.

Awesome.

In other news:

Killer 7 is ... er ... oh yes, of course, delayed some more.
Good work, fellas.

A Famitsu survey says that more people in Japan are interested in the Revolution than the other 2 new consoles. Going Rev - PS3 - XB360 with XB way behind.

Ninty are exhibiting at PAX 2005 (no, I've never heard of it either) - which takes place in August. Possibly Rev stuff. But then again, possibly not. Those crazy guys!

GBA Micro may well end up costing more than the SP does. Every single person on the planet fails to care.

Shigsy is found peddling a pink plastic tricycle around Ninty HQ in his pyjamas, eating coffee grounds straight from the jar. He demanded the gathered walls make 5 games covering all genre bases with no focus on graphics, last about 3 mintues from start to finish and be aimed at religious extremists who meet up every fortnight to smash and burn games and consoles, proclaiming them the work of the devil and all his impish servants.

I don't think there is any other way to take "Halo and GTA demand too much time from the user". What does it mean if not what it says?

That was rumour. Fact is they won't all be. [URL]http://www.cube-europe.com/news.php?nid=7908[/URL]

Hasn't it been confirmed that downloadable games will be free?
Although I think that the list might be wishful thinking though...

How big is the revolution's storage capacity?
Isn't it 512Mb?
That means that you won't be able to fit many games on it at a time and I guess you'll have to download some of the bigger ones each time you play.
Maybe there'll be some way of storing the games on your larger PC hardrive for storage for another time.

If this news is 100% genuine though, I know some people who'll buy it just for the Snes/N64 classics...

No, they won't be free.

I was talking specifically about the titles that had never made it to the West before that were on the list. If they did bring them here for the first time, they'd need translating.

Aye, that's what I was just thinking.

I doubt they'll be FREE though, this is Nintendo...

But surely it has already been done?

Surely all they need to do is to copy the master copies from each region and upload them?

That would take seconds wouldn't it?

The translating, which I believe is what the main cause for delay is, will take just as long whether the game is downloadable or not.
