Topic: Nintendo's Download Plan STILL Tentative

mantidor: Less of an issue than you might think. The Rev is in their home then. The Rev isn't sold at a loss. They've got the thing at home so it takes less of a killer app to make them buy Rev games. Those who just want free old games will probably just use a modded XBox or a PC if the Rev doesn't give them what they want. This way Nintendo at least sells them SOME hardware, probably even controllers.

but we still dont know if the Rev will be not sold at loss (or have they already confirmed that?), Nintendo has never done such thing in the past, but they are changing, I remember that the DS is their first system that isnt sold at loss, but it isnt making profits either.

Five words: Smash Bros Tournaments for Games

Or any other multiplayer tournaments, for that matter. They could even have promotions like when you first get the Rev it asks you when your birthday is and when that time comes, it gives you a free download each time. Something like that as a perk

I would buy most of my collection of S/NES just because of the convenience if it is cheap (no SNES game more than $6 CDN). When I lived in Africa I had about 60 games for the NES, and I remember I still wanted to play some more but never got the chance. However, when I moved here the voltage is different (110V compared to 240V) so I had to sell it there. Therefore, I am looking to buy quite a few NES games to remind me.

There are also some games that I really want to play on the Super that I either lost/battery save dead/broke/borrowed from friends and I want to get them. I did, however, buy some games that I still regret purchasing, and there's no way they're wasting my flash space.
