Nintendo Revolution, reason for Downloaded games?

[Shredder]

Here's a thought...

Maby the reason why Nintendo is offering the downloadable games, is so that they no logner have to go through the time and effort of porting them over to the GBA Systems? Now that they will always be around for the Revolution, they can devote their time to making new ones rather than ports....as they must get tons of requests each month for portable versions...

Also, anyone think that Nintendo will allow a service to buy the games you download, and install them on an all in one GBA cart for you? Or somehow have them transfer to the GBA through a link cable? That would be a GREAT service... but they'd probably have to have some kind of Super copy protection in place so no one can duplicate it..

I doubt they will do a buy and transfer.... ide bet that they wont do it because of copy protection.

Who knows


Im happy with what I have heard so far...just looking forward to launch at this point.

The GBA is a dead gaming machine. You will not be able to download anything to a GBA from the Revolution. It is quickly being phased out for the Nintendo DS.

The Revolution & DS will communicate with each other.

The rumors are the DS will use the Rev Virtual Console (VC) to download demos and possibly other things.

All will be revealed at E3 in May.

Will EA be releasing any of their sports titles on the Rev? Specifically, NCAA Football 2007?

No launch games have been announced yet.

We will know more at E3 in May.

Aww, May? I want to know NOW
