Screens here (56K maybe):
"Virtual Console"
Post by: Sir_Stabbalot on January 10, 2006, 01:18:54 PM
As far as the screens go, i like the menues. They look very retro. When the Rev comes out, I'll take mine apart and mount it in a NES case.

1. Illusion of Gaia
2. Ogre Battle 64
3. Sin and Punishment
Now, I want these games. Desperately. But they stick out terribly because they are not first party (S&P is an exception, but I listed it as it was not released in the USA).
Also, why Mario Party 3 only? Where is Super Mario World 2? And while I hope for Goldeneye, does Nintendo have the license/rights to do that?

GoldenEye as a retro download is a license to print money. Okay, maybe not, but it'd be a huge hit again.
I don't care if Nintendo had the license with Rare, who's now part of Microsoft, or that EA currently has the James Bond license. (And Sony owns MGM now, do they not? I don't even know if that last part even matters, though.) SOMEBODY do the talking to get this game available. Pass the money around!
But anyway...those screens could easily be faked. I would prefer something closer to DefectDS's mock-ups.
EDIT: The source, Joystiq.com, says they're merely mock-ups for the survey.

Also if Sony can make a buck off of Nintendo you can bet they will. I sort of like the menu it looks a lot like what I was envisioning anyways. Wait just a second, there's no Killer Instinct in that list! Somebody must pay now!

There are many things wrong with it, so I call this FAKE....
Nintendo wouldn't just up and make a survey. And if they would, it would be on Nintendo's site and all those that subscribe would get an email. Furthermore, this is a survey, correct? Why would Nintendo make a survey that you can't actually participate in?

This list just screams ametuer.
If it's true, then I am horribly dissapointed. I would of rather had ALL Nintendo games then this list of mediocrity.

It's mediocre (sp?) because of how incomplete it is. Sure it's has many awesome games, but where are the rest? It's like an entre with no appetizer, salad, or dessert. I mean sure I'll enjoy the meal, but those extras go a long way.
I'm just dissapointed by the size of the list. Hopefully you guys are right and its just preliminary...
Is this story even true?

3rd company makes a game (rare) + Rights owner to licence and publisher (EA) + Asks to publish the game, gives money for it (nintendo) = download

That's what I keep saying myself.
People seem to think it'll be all there but I'm sure they could, and likely will, release some at a time to maintain interest.
Japanese games would take time to translate and third-party developers may take a while before even negotiating for their games to be available, anyway. Even if everything and everyone could be on board, why throw everything out at once?
Post by: Ian Sane on January 11, 2006, 06:25:53 AM
That's a good point. If these are in the cheap impulse-buy price range we all want it to be what would be the point of renting? If a download is less than five bucks there's not much reason to spend only a dollar to rent it. It only really makes sense if the games are $20 or higher.
Unless the rentals are free. What if Nintendo just gives you to option to try a game out for 15 minutes? You can't save, can't rent more than one game at once, and can't rent the same game more than once a month so if in fact you can beat the game in 15 minutes you still can't just load it up any time you want. But it lets you see if the game is for you before buying it. This is just pure speculation on my part but it would be a neat idea.
As for Mario Kart 64 Nintendo might have the idea that it would cut into sales of current Mario Kart games. That's kind of a silly idea but Nintendo has apparently always been sour on demos because they think it cuts into sales so you never know what logic they're using.

Umm....What? They are going to translate games?
I thought that each region has its own server for the games released in that region. If you wanted a game not released in your area, you can download it from another. I never heard anything about translating. That would take roughly.......forever.
Post by: JonLeung on January 11, 2006, 09:04:44 AM
Translating formerly Japanese-only games could maintain interest in the service. New fans of actually longtime franchises that are only relatively new in North America like Fire Emblem, (Advance) Wars, Custom Robo, etc. might want to buy other games in the series. (I've always found it hard to get FF VII-and-above fans to play the 2D Final Fantasy games, but maybe they're just graphic whores. I think REAL fans of series would like to be able to play some older games within the franchises they love so much.)
As a big Nintendo fan, I'm probably going to willingly spend money on games I've played multiple times already.
Wouldn't it be nice to also find "new" oldies-but-goodies to play? (I suppose there's more than just language issues, though...I had a Japanese/European version of Ice Climber so until SSBM, I thought it was normal to attack seals in that game instead of the Topi creatures or whatever.)

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.

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.

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?

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.
