Revolution owners will be able to relive their past gaming glories from the Sega Genesis console by playing a "best of" selection from more than 1,000 Genesis titles, as well as games sold for the TurboGrafx console (a system jointly developed by NEC and Hudson). These games join Revolution\'s access to 20 years of fan-favorite Nintendo games from the NES(R), Super NES(R) and Nintendo(R) 64 eras.

Post by: Blade on March 23, 2006, 11:55:10 AM: Yeah. You didn\'t know about the N64 downloads? Practically a given.

The Genesis/TG16 emulation knocks my socks off, though. Completely unexpected.

Hell yeah.

Wonder how pricing will be.

Nintendo should invest in other software libraries. It could make a fortune if it acquired say, the rights to classic Atari games. Couldn\'t it?

The Zelda DS announcement is awesome though.

Post by: Viper_Fujax on March 23, 2006, 02:28:53 PM: i think old old is fun. Like nintendo and super nes.

But i havent touched a ps1 game since the ps2 came out. I was going to play crash bandicoot but found out the ps2 memory card didnt save things..and i sold my ps1 card.

Pretty nice..but i only played like 4 n64 games. And i have most awesome nes and super nes games on my computer.

*faints* Man that game was awesome. I remember playing it at my cousins house when that system was new. Makes me want to buy a Sega CD just for it.

Post by: mm on March 24, 2006, 11:52:05 AM: actually, i\'d put "double switch" above all others

blondie? corey haim? R. Lee Ermey?

"ground zero, texas" rocked for the time too
FMV games didn\'t get enough respect, IMO

Post by: Soul Reaver on March 24, 2006, 12:10:42 PM: PC\'s were becoming the shit and I didn\'t want to spend my money on add-ons.

Post by: mm on March 24, 2006, 12:42:42 PM: saving that quote for when the HD-DVD 360 addon comes out

oh and there was a saturn version of "double switch" which requires no "addon", unsure if you knew

Post by: Living-In-Clip on March 24, 2006, 12:59:13 PM: "Mostly shit" - that is the key.
Not all of it was shit and it wouldn\'t require Nintendo to do much to add support .

Post by: Avatarr on March 27, 2006, 06:43:34 AM: I have an emulator that supports Master System, Mega Drive, 32x and Sega CD. :}

I bought it too. Now that I think about it was a fun game.

Post by: Evi on March 27, 2006, 06:58:57 PM: Wow...that\'s really cool. Lots of great games on the Genesis. =) I almost forgot about the TurboGrafx. :eek:

Post by: Living-In-Clip on March 27, 2006, 09:18:29 PM: Maybe I am in the miniority here, but I thought Sewer Shark sucked ass. I was thinkin\' more on the lines of Sonic CD or maybe Eternal Champions! Or better yet, 32X style Virtua Racing (greatest..Racing..Game..EVER).

*sigh*
Brings back memories, I still remember see\'ing the 32X in Wal-Mart and conning my mother into buying one . Same with the Sega CD. I remember when both hooked into the Genesis it made you want to scream, "AUTO BOTS ...ROLL OUT". The thing was a massive friggin\' Transformer. It just screamed "GEEEEEEEEEEEK" when put together.

Oh and see\'ing as the Revolution is a glorified light-gun, how about some Super Scope support, eh?
