First Glimpse: Revolution’s Virtual Console

For those who haven’t been following Nintendo’s new platform, the concept of the “virtual console” describes Revolution’s game download service. The Big N’s highest-ranking executives have publicly stated that Revolution will not only be able to wirelessly connect online, but that players will also be able to directly download some of their favorite NES, S-NES and N64 classics.

IGN even has screenshots for the new system, but it’s doubtful that they are final. I am really concerned about the price of the old skool games, because I can see it adding up quickly. I am also not too impressed by the intial line-up, if it holds true also. I see that a lot of my favorites are not even listed, along with some massive hits for each system. Hopefully we’ll see some decent updates in the near future. Source: IGN.
