Fortunately, it is way better.
As if the backwards compatibility with GameCube was not enough, Nintendo is going to have downloadable versions of classic NES, SNES, and N64 games available through the Revolution.
I know what I'm getting for Christmas 2006. :)
Here is a few things I would like to see happen with this "Virtual Console"
-Multiple publishers. Nintendo has released a lot of quality games over the years, but so have a lot of other companies. Some of the classic third-party games I would like to see are Mischief Makers (N64), Street Fighter 2 (SNES), Dragon Warrior series (NES).
-SEGA. Another columnist on another website (I forget who and what site) suggested that Nintendo and Sega make a deal to include classic Genesis games on Revolution. I would be totally in favor of it. There have been several quality titles that never made it to a Nintendo system, and this would be a good opportunity to give gamers a second chance.
-Affordable pricing. When Nintendo announced the downloadable games, I was thinking maybe $5 each. When Philip and I were discussing it, he compared it to iTunes, suggesting maybe $1 downloads. I like Philip's idea better.
- Exclusives/Unreleased games. Star Fox 2 (SNES), Sim City (NES), and the BS Satelliview SNES Zelda port come to mind. Of course, I would also like to see the Dragon Warrior, Fire Emblem, and Final Fantasy games that never made it to the US.
Ok, so I will not hold my breath, but I will remain hopeful. Nintendo has definitely piqued my interest, and I absolutely can not wait for more details to come out..
