Quote:<b>A survey reveals proposed plans for Revolution's retro gaming features. Preliminary games list inside!<b>
Nintendo (through a third party) is conducting a closed survey on its Virtual Console feature for the Revolution—more specifically, proposed pricing and menu schemes. <a href="http://joystiq.com/2006/01/10/nintendo-conducts-virtual-console-service-survey/">Joystiq </a>reports details and screen captures of the survey.
Although reported content merely shows what Nintendo is considering, it is still worth noting. Three pricing schemes are proposed: purchase, rental and subscription. Gamers may pay a one-time price and download and own the game forever. Alternatively, they may rent a single game for a specified period. Finally, a monthly subscription would allow players to download a specified number of games each month—games downloaded prior months will continue to be playable (as long as Nintendo continues to get its monthly money). The images themselves are mock-ups for the survey and do not reflect the service's actual look.
Specific pricing apparently was not mentioned, but Joystiq has listed titles the survey listed as likely to be available at launch.

Once again, keep in mind that this is not confirmation of Nintendo's Virtual Console strategy or its games—Nintendo will almost certainly alter the proposed strategy above in response to the survey and internal feedback, and the game list could easily change.
