So shortsighted... eventually yes much of it will become available, but who knows exactly when, and how much... and again, it's just not quite the same played in emulation... though if the Rev. has addon controllers that are exactly like SNES and N64 controllers that will be less true, I'm not so sure that that's going to happen. :) (and it's still not quite as good having it just on a HDD as opposed to being on real media... yes I know that carts have potential drawbacks too (mainly battery backup; 'potential' to signify that some games (parts of the GBA and N64 lineups) use flash memory backup), but... that's why you keep the cart, but get a download version too? :))
Here's what you need to understand. I don't want to have to drag out my consoles from under my bed and deal with safely storing away cartrdiges and keeping them in such great shape as I did. I want them all in one place, the Revolution can offer that, the end. As far as the emulation goes, you can leave that judgement up to me, as I'm sure it varies from person to person. Perhaps you value playing it like it was originally intended to be. Me, I don't care anymore.
DKC2, DKC, Mario World...I've played them so many times that in every level I know exactly where the secrets and bonus stages are. I beat Uniracers again, almost a decade later and it's not as fun as I remember it being. I know the patterns of the enemies, I know what level is next and everything that I can do in it. Can you understand that that just isn't as fun as it used to be when I first discovered it?
Secondly, I don't need to keep so much stuff. I'm appaled at all the crap I have that I rarely use. When I moved in December I swore to myself that I'd have less shit to move next time.
Lastly, I don't know why this matters to you so much. I did what I did and I'm very satisfied with myself.
