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.

Isn't there, like, a language limit or something? I always thought the "F" word was too "bad" or something, especially in huge font...

Of course, I just repeated it, so....

Anyway, yay for the Virtual Console. Worth the purchase alone...

/me shrugs and walks away

if they were free yea, it might be worth the purchase alone. but not having to pay for each game to download... thats not worth the purchase at all when you can already get em all free on the computer.

what will make the NINTENDOGO! worth the purchase is the NINTENDOGO! intself.

i really hope thats the name... i love saying that word now...

NINTENDOGO!!!!

The issue with being able to get them already is.. the mass population doesn't know about it or how to obtain ROMs.

So for many people it will be a selling point even if not for people on this forum.

On that note, it doesn't seem like the deal with Sega and Hudson is exclusive. As I believe that, Sega is working with MS on the XBLA.

On that same note, much like XBLA, small developers will be able to sell their games over the virtual console.

doesnt matter if they know how to get them or not, the fact is they are out there and always have been. that fact doesnt change just because of peoples ignorance.

but thats totally not the point. point is that being able to do it to me is just not at all worth the purchase all by itself... its like i didnt know that i could get the internet on laptops or pda's, so getting the internet on the psp was its main selling point and worth the purchase all by itself. (which is not the case because there are cheaper ways if that was the main point)

its a nice extra feature, to the main console (which is what should and will be the main selling point)

also i dont think nintendo will be trying to market this as a main selling point, if they did, i think they'd be living in the past a little too much. I think it'll be marketed along the same lines of xbox lives arcade. probably a little more tho.

No, it looks like there's no * command (which basically means, in regular expression, that "this character repeats a finite amount of times. I.E., all four letters.)
