I very much agree. Nintendo is finally going to be attracting their intended market in full force. Nintendo was never really meant for those who are out there bashing it.
At the very least they'll also be attempting to penetrate the other market. Because... Who that was around for the NES era doesn't have plesant nintendo memories they can now relive.
I just wonder if they'd end up allowing older GB and GBC titles. While they wouldn't look great on a TV... They could allow re-writeable carts for the DS which does hook up to the Revolution. (Transfer the games to a blank cart anybody?)
Considering they'd do this... What are the chances that if this is successful as a marketing strategy that they'd also make the N64 games available for a few bucks? (If not free sometime during the system's lifespan.)
I think this is one of the best moves Nintendo could make against Sony and Microsoft. Simply because they have A LOT of classic games through the generations. And the first two being made free? ^_^ Say hello to major console sales. (Which means better sales of their exclusive games.) Not to mention their console is probably going to be about half as expensive as the other two. (Very attractive to parents.)
If only they'd come out with re-writeable carts for the DS. Then you could link it to the Revolution and take those classic games with you. Which I think would be a HUGE boost for the DS and Revolution in the youth market and maybe also with the older gamers for nostalgia.
I love the idea of downloadable games. That is until we find out it's "Pong 2006" for $45(US).
Seriously though... Isn't this what Sony already said they'd end up doing? Then again it is M$ style to steal the competition's ideas, market them better, and PROFIT! I just can't wait to see the next gen battle. This maybe the jump-off point for one of the three compeititors.
In soviet Russia... We aren't allowed to make these jokes anymore because we fear the Russian script kiddies will get us.
All hail our new 1337 Russian Script Kiddie masters. (Oh how long they've waited for that; huh?)
There's good music out there. They just seriously neutered the end user's ability to find the kinds of music they liked after the Napster death. (Which really felt like what I imagine the Woodstock 69' era would've felt like.)
This industry's falling is going to be like what Microsoft's death will end up being in 20 years (if not sooner.)
