Topic: Nintendo conducts "Virtual Console" service survey?

[animecyberrat]

Ok I was re-rading the article and it DOES say these would be LAUNCH titles so that leads me to beleive tehre would in fact be more ready latter on, which makes more sense because they will need to keep peopel interested in the system for a while and they will still neede time to see if it pays off so they can attract 3rd party companies. AND if we are lucky they will let homebrew developers post games for the service.

Sega has stated many times that it is NOT in their best interest to support the Virtual Console, they have their games available for download on Gametap AND they are re-releasesing many of thier top hits as GBA compilations and some for Xbox live arcade, not to mention the mini Genesis which is out now and they already port most of thier games to PC and even cell phones anyways.


So theres NO WAY they will put games onto teh Revolution Virtual COnsole, besdies all the work they would have to do to get Emulators for Sega Systems to run on it or else they owudl have to reprogram the Sega games to run on SNES hardware which isnt always possible beings how Gensis and SNES had different capabilities.

Ummm...I would assume that if they were actually going to emulate Genesis games, they would use a Genesis emulator, not a Super NES emulator.  So that's not really a reason.

I seriously doubt there's anything the Genesis can do that a next-gen console can't.

JonLeung: I wasn't arguing with you. If true, that would be INCREDIBLE!

No becaus eteh Emulators are buildt in, i said in my psot teh would have TO AD a Genesis emulator which Nintendo wont do.

Also read the other reasons i listed its all public information available at segas own website. They are not going to support Virtual Consoel its not in their best intertest.

How is it not in theit best interest?

They can make more money.....for games....they already made mass amounts of money on.....for basically free....as in, they get a check in the mail for sitting on their ass.....

How is that not in their best interest?

Maybe the rent option is for a certain period of time - like 2 weeks and you can play whatever you want, but can't keep it..

EDIT: Read Talkback and someone suggested it there..

I don't think they should go all out with the Virtual Console games right off the bat, though there should be a fair selection. We don't need old games competing with Rev games.

It's not in Sega's best interest cuz it undermines their Sonic Mega Collection bizniss.

I doubt that. I get the feeling they'd sell more by offering downloads on Rev than with their Collections. Plus, there's no production costs. It's just pure profit.

I think pro was being sarcastic....

[NinGurl69 *huggles]

But that would mean people are getting everything they're asking for, and that's not compatible with Sega's policy of not using common sense.

If Sega is to keep up with it's ass backwards business model, they'll give their entire library to the Xbox 360 download service.
