Surprising to say the least, and great! ... now I'm hoping even more that we'll be able to get titles here that only had previously come out in Japan, Turbografx has lots of those... SEGA Genesis and TurboGrafx games on Revolution!!!!! - lazyfatbum - 23rd March 2006 not to mention all the classic bomberman games! Imma looking for Turbografix game lists, as i know very little about the system. SEGA Genesis and TurboGrafx games on Revolution!!!!! - Dark Jaguar - 23rd March 2006 Okay, that's a good START. Now then, Master System, Atari 2600 (and every Atari system since that) and YAE, even unto the CD based systems of ages that never quite made it! Of course, all these games and only the originally stated 512 MB of space to save it on simply won't do, now will it? SEGA Genesis and TurboGrafx games on Revolution!!!!! - lazyfatbum - 23rd March 2006 we're going to need a bigger boat.

SEGA Genesis and TurboGrafx games on Revolution!!!!! - Great Rumbler - 23rd March 2006 I hope this is just the first of such announcements! SEGA Genesis and TurboGrafx games on Revolution!!!!! - Dark Jaguar - 23rd March 2006 I am very much expecting Nintendo's big secret, if it isn't something totally revolutionary, to be some massive writable storage device on the thing. Edit: Expect may be a little strong. I'm only saying it seems a reasonable move to make and Nintendo has done similar things before, only as expensive addons that never sold on their own, or were released in America. Perhaps I should say I'm catiously optimistic? SEGA Genesis and TurboGrafx games on Revolution!!!!! - lazyfatbum - 23rd March 2006 I updated the turbografx to include the Duo games as well, god that list is massive SEGA Genesis and TurboGrafx games on Revolution!!!!! - lazyfatbum - 23rd March 2006 DJ/ i was talking to ABF and he says that all the atari and other '4 bit' consoles probably equal about 5 MB in total - ALL of them combined. NES games were usually around 1/2 MB (same for other 8 bit consoles) and the largest SNES/genny/16 bit console games were 5 MB max. at 512 MB flash memory, and if you make N64 an average of 12 MB (lowest is 8, highest is 64 but only 4 games are 64 MB), that's about 50 N64 games, i own 42 :D SEGA Genesis and TurboGrafx games on Revolution!!!!! - Dark Jaguar - 23rd March 2006 42?! I don't own that many games for any system except my PC! However, yes I thought of that. Most early games won't need much space at all. It's when you start adding up those SNES and beyond games when you hit some issues. If I wanted to download a large number of N64 games, around 50 :D, I'd hit problems. However, my main desire is to download almost every single SNES and Genesis game in all eternity, that is decent. I never played a number of games I read about that seemed interested (BOB for example, the robot with the arm). But yeah, 512 would do the job for those who are only going to download 4 or 5 N64 games at the most. I just think that we will end up needing a "bigger boat" sooner than we might expect. Besides, a large storage medium does more than just let us download a lot of old games. It would be a great addition for new games as well. We all recognized that in the past. SEGA Genesis and TurboGrafx games on Revolution!!!!! - Great Rumbler - 23rd March 2006 Don't they have 2GB flash cards now? SEGA Genesis and TurboGrafx games on Revolution!!!!! - Dark Jaguar - 23rd March 2006 Yep, which is nice unless you want to store a fully customizable game in the current generation on it, or download decent sized demos, or a large number of smaller Revolution designed games. 4X the included memory isn't exactly bursting at the seams. Nintendo had it right when they decided to make a hard disk add-on for the N64, except that they launched it at the end of the system's life span and costing far too much money. If they include a hard disk with a size competitive with the PS3 and 360, they would certainly get it out to a lot more people and they would love Nintendo for it. Imagine a far improved version of that Giants game, or a Pikmin game where the Pikmin evolved into various all new creatures and expanded to ridiculous degrees (oh right, Spore is that already...). Imagine... um... let's see a game combining the "wand" and high memory storage... MARIO ENGINEER! Design all sorts of amazing gizmos like the rotating spinmajigger babymabopper, with full demonstrations of it in some sort of highly developed toon physics, or realistic physics, or whatever! You see, high rewritable data storage has a lot of potential if Nintendo will only humor it. Of course, there's the cost issue, but Nintendo could pull what MS did and do some minor segretation of the market with two Revolution packages. SEGA Genesis and TurboGrafx games on Revolution!!!!! - lazyfatbum - 23rd March 2006 yes they do, and i think Nintendo is going to release three SD card sizes, the smallest will be 512, the next step will be 1 gig, and from that you have 2, 2 and a 1/2 gigs (to hold very large games that used FMV sequences, recorded audio, or multiple disk games). but dont forget.... 2 USB ports i'd say the most expensive download will be 20 dollars, and that would be like a more recent N64 game, though price may just depend on size of file, the largest file size equalling 20 bucks. couple that with the sd cards, which I believe will release for 15 to 30 dollars and not only do we have a choice of what to buy, but how to store it as well. again though, the revolution has 2 USB inputs, perfect for a hard drive. Not to mention the fact that Nintendo will probably have coupons and the like, like when you buy a new revolution game, you get 'revolution points' you can put towards the purchase of a game, or even aquire points by playing online or beating a game, possibilities are endless. anyone realize the possibilities of storing things off the revolution network and then putting them in the DS which also uses SD cards as a medium? and is also online? and portable? yeah, me too *BECOMES LIQUED* Nintendo might say it at e3, but i think it's a pretty fair bet that we'll be playing emulated games on DS. Dunno about N64 games, but the DS is capable of emulating them as well. all you have to do is have the games and the respective emulator on the SD card or get the DS OS updated, over the network as well. Fuck, things are going to kick ass :D and yeah, play DS games on revolution by sliding the game in to the rev's SD card slot, and use the revcon as a stylus.

The PS2 has USB ports too, but not once has a single developer ever actually made use of a USB hard drive. If Nintendo is going to use that port for the hard drive, they will have to release an addon for it themselves and really push it and convince developers to start using it. That'll really only work if a lot of people buy it, meaning Nintendo has to give them reason to by making a few must have games that use it really early on. Or, they could include an HD with it in the "Supreme package" version of the Revolution, whatever. By the way, the rest of that? I've been thinking the same stuff for a while now lazy! I just wasn't sure if the cards the DS uses actually WERE SD format. If that really is the case, then yay! And also, yeah I've been wanting a major firmware update for the DS for some time. SEGA Genesis and TurboGrafx games on Revolution!!!!! - A Black Falcon - 23rd March 2006 Quote:42?! I don't own that many games for any system except my PC! I have 45 N64 games... :) (and I keep my IGN list in my sig updated) Quote:DJ/ i was talking to ABF and he says that all the atari and other '4 bit' consoles probably equal about 5 MB in total - ALL of them combined. NES games were usually around 1/2 MB (same for other 8 bit consoles) and the largest SNES/genny/16 bit console games were 5 MB max. It'll be less than that because it also has to store your Rev savedgames, of course... but those should be small, if Nintendo can put controls on developers (so that because they have a larger space they don't bloat the save files)... but yes, you should be able to fit a lot of NES games (0.5MB and under, most under), a good number of SNES games (under 1MB up to 6MB but only a few games were 6MB and none came out in English... the largest US games were 4MB (32 megabytes).) and Genesis/Turbografx games (about the same as the SNES in size)... N64 games are definitely a larger problem, with stuff like OoT being 32MB... but if SD cards are cheap enough even that isn't a big deal. Really, the only REAL problem is if they try to distribute CD games... Sega CD, TurboDuo, Saturn, whatever... those would get expensive fast and chew up those SD cards for sure... but that'd be a good problem to have. :) Hard drive? That seems like a solution for a while, but then it fills up, and then what do you do? It'll fill up either way (the fact that I have 110GB of HDD space on my PC doesn't mean that I haven't needed more since ... oh, about a month or two after I got up to this amount of space...)... putting a bigger disc in won't solve the problem; you need some form of large removable media too. That's what the SD cards do. The question is if the price for large SD cards will be low enough... X360's 20GB HDD is already far too small, for example, and the PS3's 60GB one will quickly find itsself full if Sony tries to have downloadable PS2 games... SEGA Genesis and TurboGrafx games on Revolution!!!!! - Sacred Jellybean - 23rd March 2006 Shining Edge and Phantasy Star and Chameleon Kid for Revolution! *faint* SEGA Genesis and TurboGrafx games on Revolution!!!!! - Dark Jaguar - 23rd March 2006 Yes, but both of those companies have made sure they are removable. I had no intention of suggesting that the hard disk was hard wired into the system. The XBox is the only one to make that mistake. No, just like the N64 add-on, the hard disks should be removable. The idea is that you should RARELY need to change them, since "never" isn't feasible. Plus, compaired to SD cards, (which, by the way, on average are still about $80 for a gig), you just get more bang for your buck. It is more cost efficient for the consumer. SEGA Genesis and TurboGrafx games on Revolution!!!!! - lazyfatbum - 23rd March 2006 DJ/ whether companies make games to take advantage of the HDD or not, iit could still be used as a massive storage device for games, game saves, and even saved states. nintendo just has to have firmware that can recognize the HDD and format it, or allow the user to install it via an install disk. It would just be a much larger SD card. SEGA Genesis and TurboGrafx games on Revolution!!!!! - Dark Jaguar - 23rd March 2006 Yes, that would work well enough if the Revolution recognized, out of the box, a hard disk as a storage device, and all games could save to that as though it was nothing more than a memory card stuck in an odd slot. (By the way, Sony's system has slots for like 400 (hyperbole engines engaged!) different formats of memory card, that's going a bit overboard. There's compatibility and then there's waste.) But WILL Nintendo bother? That's the question really. I'd still much rather see Nintendo offer full hard disk support including some special games designed with it in mind. You know you want that too lazy. C'mon, just admit it. Give in to your super massive media desires to design your own RPG, create character models, and create cartoon movies using cartoony physics involving the Mairo Brothers! Ya know you want to!

SEGA Genesis and TurboGrafx games on Revolution!!!!! - A Black Falcon - 23rd March 2006 DJ, the N64 didn't have a harddrive... SEGA Genesis and TurboGrafx games on Revolution!!!!! - Dark Jaguar - 23rd March 2006 Do you not recall the 64DD? Perhaps not, it was only released in Japan and didn't do too well. The original Animal Crossing as well as a track editor addon to F-Zero X were released on it. The disks it used weren't "floppy", they were "hard". Floppy and hard being terms used to describe the actual magnetic part, not the case. Not exactly massive storage capacity mind you. Which is why each and every game that used it had it's own seperate disk, rather than sharing a single disk. SEGA Genesis and TurboGrafx games on Revolution!!!!! - A Black Falcon - 24th March 2006 DJ, the 64DD was just that: a disc drive. It used disc-based media... 64MB discs, I think? Like giant floppies. Not harddrives. Yes, a large portion of the disc was read/write, but that doesn't make it a harddrive... SEGA Genesis and TurboGrafx games on Revolution!!!!! - Great Rumbler - 24th March 2006 PC-Engine games on virtual console! Quote:Hudson enters into the software download business with respect to revolution! http://www.ga-forum.com/showthread.php?t=91942 Spanuuuund!! SEGA Genesis and TurboGrafx games on Revolution!!!!! - A Black Falcon - 24th March 2006 PC Engine is the Turbografx, of course, but if that translation is accurate, it sounds like they might be including some PCE CD games! They'd require SD cards, and almost all of the best ones were Japan-only, but that would be seriously awesome... that was a big unanswered question, and let's hope that my first impression is correct. :) Possibly the most famous PCE CD game was Castlevania Dracula X: Rondo of Blood, which of course famously did not come out over here. SEGA Genesis and TurboGrafx games on Revolution!!!!! - lazyfatbum - 24th March 2006 i've got a feeling in my gut that says Nintendo is going to have so many games on the network, that you'd have to actually hate Nintendo not to get a Revolution, and then be rediculed by the demographic of earth for not having one, and then shot. SEGA Genesis and TurboGrafx games on Revolution!!!!! - Dark Jaguar - 25th March 2006 How is the 64DD not a hard drive? From the dissections I've seen, when you open the plastic case, you get a hard metal disk underneath. That's the very definition of a hard drive. And, if you want proof it's a hard drive, I'll throw the disk at your head, then YOU can tell me if it's hard or not! Exactly what sort of odd definition are you running under when you define hard drive? It isn't the standard one. There are basically two sorts of magnetic storage, floppy and hard. Floppy only means the internal disk in whatever case it's in is "floppy". It's the black magnetic film arranged in a disk shape. A hard disk, on the other hand, is a hard think piece of metal arranged into a disk shape. The 64DD used the latter. It used hard drives. It's the same thing as those old "ZIP drives" from the ages long ago. SEGA Genesis and TurboGrafx games on Revolution!!!!! - A Black Falcon - 25th March 2006 ZIP drives are removable media... hard drives aren't removable. (well, there are USB harddrives, but still, I see a significant difference between disk-based and internal media...) The 64DD is indeed like a ZIP disk (or normal 3 1/2/ 5 1/4" floppies, but 'harder')... but ZIP disks are in no way hard drives. I've never heard them described as such, and it's a pretty ridiculous description for disk-based media... same for the 64DD... Of course, any removable media could be called a hdd if it can be used like one, and when a disk is in a disk drive it does act like a normal drive, but the distinction is that it is removable, and in a disk-based format, and the 64DD most certainly meets those distinctions. Oh yes... *picks up zip disk, holds open end, looks at the inside* Bendable disk inside, just like a 3.5" floppy. Maybe HDD platters look like that too, I have no idea... but it makes absolutely no sense to call a disk a hard drive. SEGA Genesis and TurboGrafx games on Revolution!!!!! - Dark Jaguar - 25th March 2006 I guess I picked the wrong term (I'm thinking of those giant massive plastic things with metal insides). At any rate, hard drives are disk based. Further, modern hard drives are removable. It's called SATA. In fact, they can be easily removed while the machine is on (unless it is the one with the OS on it). I've got a special enclosure device that lets me simply stick in and remove hard disks on the fly through the USB connection. It's basically the same thing. The common understanding of the term "hard drive" is only talking about the material inside the drive. It doesn't have anything to do with how removable the drive is. |
