Virtual Console Explodes.. Sega and Hudson
 
Well if 20 years of Nintendo games wasn't enough. Now we get Genesis games as well. :D

Quote:

Iwata also announced partnerships with Sega and Hudson to offer downloadable access to their classic games via Revolution's Virtual Console. Revolution owners will be able to relive their past gaming glories from the Sega Genesis console by playing a "best of" selection from more than 1,000 Genesis titles, as well as games sold for the TurboGrafx console (a system jointly developed by NEC and Hudson). These games join Revolution's access to 20 years of fan-favorite Nintendo games from the NES(R), Super NES(R) and Nintendo(R) 64 eras

O no, I meant it in the manner that for the most part, Nintendo didn't even talk about the Revolution.

Spoke a little about the controller apparently.

Said the Virtual Console would be akin to iTunes or something along the lines.

Something about being able to download original games over the Virtual Console.

And well... wait till e3 basically.

My guess just wanted all the Virtual Console stuff out of the way so they didn't need to touch on it again at e3.

My only problem with this thread was BaB's use of the word explode. Talk about hyping something, sheesh.

NIIIINNNTENNNDOOOOGOOOOOOOOOOO (with crazy japanese voice)

I like the info being said. Hopefully with Sega and Hudson divulging their games for Ninty that other companies follow suit (hey, its quick easy profit for the companies)

true, hopfully tho nintendo signed some kinda deal with them, so that they dont go over to other networks like xbox live and let thier games be downloaded there too.

Perfect Stu 03-23-2006 08:18 PM

Re: Virtual Console Explodes.. Sega and Hudson
 
are the old games gonna be like...$2-$5 each?

Jonbo298 03-23-2006 08:32 PM

Re: Virtual Console Explodes.. Sega and Hudson
 
No pricing has been set yet but really hoping for just something subscription based.

I dont mind if other networks got old games also, as long as there was an incentive to buy the Rev version compared to Xbox Live or PNP.
