Have they said it will be priced on a per-game basis, rather than say $10/month?
I would think it will have N64, SNES and NES games, with possibly some Gameboy thrown in. I'm not sure it would be a good idea to have GBA games on it given that it's the current handheld favorite.

arent there already Revolution threads to have put this in?
You'd logically think so.
You would have thought, but here we are.
They've already said that the games will be stored on your system's internal memory (with the option to use an SD card for more capacity), so this to me implies that you'll pay per game - it'd be pretty silly to use a subscription model when they're giving us the files themselves, not just access to them on a server. Also, they pretty much confirmed the option of store-bought point cards for kids and others without credit cards.
I don't think they've confirmed that the games would be saved entirely onto your system. I think it's more logical that with that little memory, you'd be downloading a small file that says "yeah, I bought this" that would connect to them and let you play it. I see a monthly fee plan with unreasonable, GBA-rehash prices to permanently buy it.Quote:

It would be cool if Sega Channel-esque.
