Dead Revolution Rumor
|
Can't Post

hi,
Nintendo publicly ended the wide-spread rumor about the Nintendo Revolution. The rumor was that nintendo would not only allow backward support, they would also offer free downloadedable nes and snes games that can be stored and played on the Revolution. This is not true. While the revolution will have downloadable content, including games, these things will NOT be free.

I heard rumblings these may not be true, it sucks that you would have to pay, but then again, nothing is free nowadays. Do you have a source for your info? At least it's coming out..... and not delayed two years....

here's a source:
http://www.ferrago.com/story/6004
Article from www.ferrago.com
It was with joy we reported some days ago that the Revolution's download service would be free; a fact which turned out to be a downright lie, subsequent admissions from Nintendo boss Satoru Iwata has revealed. It had been believed that the Nintendo back-catalogue - everything up to the GameCube - would be made available gratis over Ninty's online service. Of course, this all turned out to be far too good to be true: Nintendo will be charging for use of the retro downloads service, we just don't know how or how much yet. NES, SNES, and N64 games will not be free, Iwata told the Japanese press, but special offers may make individual titles or portions of them available to tempt gamers.
Special download weekends are one consideration and Nintendo are also weighing-up the possibility of making retro titles available free to purchasers of brand-new Revolution games. The Revolution console will be backwards compatible with Cube titles, regardless. More news is expected on the exact specifics of this service before the end of 2005. In related news, Iwata did tell press that by the end of the year over 1000 hotspots around Japan will support online gaming for the DS handheld. Design on the Revolution controller continues... more soon.
