Virtual Console

I know emulation is the easy way out, but I\'m looking forward to downloading Sonic the Hedgehog, Bonk\'s Adventure and maybe Super Mario Bros. to live side by side on one console (Revolution).
 
I wonder if anybody else is looking forward to the library of select N64, NES, SNES, TGFX16, TGFX-CD and Genesis games. I never got to experience the TurboGrafx system, so I look forward to that opportunity.
 
And since the online console will have CD games from TurboGrafx-CD, maybe there\'s a chance of Sega CD, 32X, etc. games popping up as well. Saturn?
 
I think it\'s great. I hope publishers swarm to the setup with their aging ip\'s. I\'d like to see people put up some old school Atari games, too.
 
The only thing better than that would be playing the old games on their original systems. There\'s nothing wrong with that except for the price some people charge for games like Frogger (one of the older games I\'d still like to have, that and SNES Chrono Trigger).

I hope they taxtfully put in online battles and stuff on many of the old 2-player games. I also would like to see alot of games that formerly never made it to the USA get translated over and get released here on the VC, too, like SIn and Punishment, Dracula X (PC-Engine CD version), Mega-Man the Wily Wars (MD) and a bunch of others. If the price is stupid, though, I will probably never do it.

Let\'s hope they use an XBoxLive sort of thing whereas in you play games and accumulate points and with those points, you can download games, etc. ALso, with real money, you can purchase games.

How will the Revolution store the games after you download them? It won\'t go up with a HD, right? Memory card, I would assume, but wouldn\'t that end up being costly for a consumer who downloads a bunch of the older games? Not to mention N64 games would take up a memory card with ease. Surely it\'s not a download / pay / download pay each play scheme?

they have smart media cards for use as memory cards if I am not mistaken, up to 512Mb, that\'s not bad, you know.

but if it gets awesome and there are a ton of must have\'s to download, for example, like XBLA, there will be original content, too. Any that cleverly use the remote in an awesome (and hopefully multiplayer setting) will need to be downloaded and a hard drive (removable?) would be great. but if the stuff is just the thousands of roms I had saved on discs back in the day, I doubt I will be using it too much, but that\'s me, a thief. I am sure Johnny NoNothingOfPiracy will love it to death.
