Ah yes, but will there be the convienience of downloading a game to play rather than hunt down old discs at flea markets?

Nope.

But you can download most old Nintendo games RIGHT NOW and play them.
I just don't see the whole download and play old games as a very big deal to me. I can do it now, and I don't because I want new stuff to play.

Don't get me wrong, I think it's pretty cool Nintendo is building emulation into the system. I just know I won't use it at all.

Yeah, but that's you. And me, for that matter. Thing is, there's a huge world of people who don't know about emulation and would love to have access to the old games. I still get people asking not only after NES games, but those stupid pirate 17,000 games in one!!!! things they used to sell in a cart in the mall.

To everyone here, the emulation is pure redundancy. To everyone else, it's going to be something new. Whether Nintendo sets it up so people will want a Revolution because of it is something else entirely, of course.

Personally, I'd love to see Square translate some of the old SNES games they never released here, like Dragon Quest 5 and 6.

Nintendo's more controlling than that, so I fully expect you to connect to their servers in order to access the game of your pleasure.

Why would anyone go to the trouble of hacking the system just to copy some ROMs that are readily available on the internet already?

I think the benefit of hacking the system would be enabling me to copy ROM's I may have already downloaded, and playing them on the revolution, not the other way around.
