Topic: Rev to Support CD-ROM Games on Virtual Console

[jasonditz]

Wow, I hope this means Sega CD will be supported as well. Robo Aleste and Odama on the same system? That'd give people the screwiest ideas about the Warring States period.

So the TG-16(PCE) card slot is whats under the flap on the front of the Rev?

wouldn't be nice if all old systems could be supported at sone point or another?
Disc based support: TG-16 CD, Sega CD, Saturn, NeoGeo CD, 3DO, CDi and if possible somewhere down the line; a hack to play PSX games.

Virtual Console support: NES, SNES, N64, GB/GBA(wireless transfer to DS), SMS, Genesis/32x, Saturn cartridge add ons, TG16(PCE), NeoGeo, Atari(all versions) & Jaguar.

If all(most) of that could be done on the Rev, it would instantly become the ultimate console!! Everyone(that considered themselves a gamer) would have to own one, on principle alone.

You could play some PS1 games on the Dreamcast, so there's no good reason Nintendo couldn't theoretically support it too if they wanted.

I remember when I was a wee lad and managed to convice my rich friend (everybody had one....or WERE the one ;p) to get the TurboGraphx over the Genesis.  Man, I should be a lawyer, because the arguements I made were spec-TACK-ular!  Needless to say, I got to play Bonk, Dungeon Explorer, Vigilante, Legendary Axe (SPAUNG!), R-Type, Military Madness, and a great deal others on someone else dollar....now THAT'S GANGSTA!!

Plus they even sprung for the CD upgrade and so I got my Bloody Wolf, Y's, and 'Fighting Street' on....ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, YOUTH!!

Except for the fact that the company that made it happen, Bleem, was sued nearly out of existance for doing that until the DC itself died...

See what I want to know is if they'll let us download Japanese games that never came out over here and just have a label on it saying it isn't in English.  It's nice to have options.

Sony never won that lawsuit, Bleem just didn't have enough money for the legal expenses.

I think the courts even were in favour of Bleem but well, justice for the rich, persecution for the poor. Large companies can oppress anyone just by dragging out a frivolous lawsuit forever and waiting until the victim can't pay anymore. In theory there's a law against that but in practice it doesn't get invoked and I think it doesn't trigger until the attacker is defeated, which never happens.

So, I assume this means only game downloads, and not original media? Original media could be cool. Maybe they could even add in old DOS games?
