When Nintendo asks people what games they want on the network, they're going to hear Goldeneye more than Perfect Dark because more people have played Goldeneye. But hopefully someone will be the wiser, although, and this might be the kicker, the PD liscense might be totally hands-off for Nintendo. While Goldeneye could be acquired by simply getting the rights for that particular game. It would make sense.
Perhaps Rare and MS offered too-high a price for the original PD rights, I dunno. But if Nintendo can do it, for the love of God, we want PD more than Ge!
But seeing Sin and Punishment on there raises an eyebrow, Treasure recently said that Sin and Punishment will be released in the United States but did not specify for what platform or if the game will be updated, me being a dumbass imeadiately thought of DS... looks like I could have been way off.
Check out the Super Scope and Zapper games as well, in order for those to function the revcon has to be involved, now if Nintendo is willing to go in to the old games and add the code to allow for the Revcon to function in a myriad of game types, i'm pretty sure that adding wifi multiplayer would also be an add-on to consider as well. Especially since all you would be doing is allowing the game to connect to a network, no real coding involved. That said, it would be an easy add-on to include new types of play or allow for more than 2-4 players for the game, we're talking a few weeks to test for bugs (depending on the size of the team testing) and that's it.
Now combine that with Goldeneye, Mario Kart SNES, 64, Mario Party titles etc etc and you have a system that will hit the ground running. Litteraly as soon as you hook it up you have access to dozens of AAA games to play online, some you never got a chance to play and some you've always dreamed of being online and some with newly added multiplayer features... Download Mario 64 and it comes with the multiplayer aspects of Mario 64 DS... a 4 player online game of co-op Starfox 64 or a co-op game of Blast Corps... this is going to be huge.
Cheap to produce, AAA games with added features, on a world-wide network right out of the box... you dont have to buy a game at the store, just buy the game at home and d/l it and you have it forever, and it will always work. :D
I wonder what the fees are going to be? I can buy a working NES game for a dollar, so if its an NES game with rumble, uses the wireless controller and is online for its multiplayer, I can see paying up to 10 bucks.
I why isn't Rad Racer on that list? Or Spy Hunter? or Double Dragon? or Battletoads? or Battletoads Vs. Double Dragon? Get on it Nintendo, make it happen.
