Some Revolution Downloads Will Be Free

from the hook,-line,-and-sinker dept.
GamesRadar has the details from an interview with Nintendo of America VP George Harrison, in which he passes on the very good news that certain past-gen Nintendo titles will be free for download onto the Revolution. The article seems to imply that primarily the games available for free download will be Nintendo created titles. From the article: "This is a clever move by Nintendo: regardless of the final power of Revolution and the frequency of new titles, Nintendo knows that its loyal fans will cry tears of joy over a free service that lets them download previous Nintendo classics straight out of the box."

Lisandro writes "Nexuiz v1.0, an fast paced deathmatch FPS, has been released under the GPL. It uses a heavily modified version of the Quake 1 engine, with real time lighting/shadowing, improved particle effects and more. It looks really good and it's available for Windows and Linux, with a Mac version said to be coming soon."

Dude, are you serious?

With this feature, the new Xbox and Playstation systems can go fuck themselves.

I can't believe I'm defending Nintendo, but...

I think you're right.

As much as I believe Nintendo has gone to hell over the cube, I'm for Revolution.
