michaelarran Posted November 9, 2005 Share Posted November 9, 2005 I still have my N64 and all the games, and would gladly pay £30-40 to be able to play them through the Revolutions's virtual console, rather than buy them again. There was a survey asking about such a device run by Nintendo in the US (Gamecube related, then) last year , so I wonder if such a device is in the works? Maybe that is what was behind the cover that wasn't opened at E3? Cheers Mike PS, and I suppose, it could also be a reader for NES, SNES, Megadrive...

mike-zim Posted November 9, 2005 Share Posted November 9, 2005 yeah i mean if it will cost you £30-£40 for this thing then you are better off downloading. anyway i never sell my old console. i still have all the working ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mario114 Posted November 9, 2005 Share Posted November 9, 2005 Yeer i would rather down-load, i have a n64, but i misse dout on some greats, i'll down olad the ones i missed, but they may even up grade them a bit (i'm still dreaming of golden eye on-line)-but the nearest thing will propbaly just be the source mod.

bencallis Posted November 9, 2005 Share Posted November 9, 2005 Not a bad idea. The revolution has 2 usb ports so a device such as this should be able to be made. I don't think nintendo will but maybe 3rd parties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quich_delvyn Posted November 9, 2005 Share Posted November 9, 2005 i would rath dl them from the rev but i do remember and i took that survey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
demonmike04 Posted November 9, 2005 Share Posted November 9, 2005 This reminds me of a poll NOA did which definitly hinted at an N64 cartridge reader. The poll question: If we were to release a new type of Gameboy player which would enable N64 games on Gamecube, how much would you pay? But i think in the end nintendo went with the back catalogue approach for revolution, but there is still hope for those who want an N64 player, but the poll was a year or two back, so dont expect too much.

SupaFry Posted November 10, 2005 Share Posted November 10, 2005 I'd get one if they were made. Mainly because all me N64 controlers analog sticks are worn down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1upking Posted November 10, 2005 Share Posted November 10, 2005 download is the future, just look at iTunes, so maybe we will be able to download ALL of our games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
system_error Posted November 10, 2005 Share Posted November 10, 2005 I would prefer download games over using my old N64 cartdriges again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCK Posted November 10, 2005 Share Posted November 10, 2005 I sold all my N64 games so no. Downloading works for me though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pestneb Posted November 10, 2005 Share Posted November 10, 2005 so long as games are cheap enough I'm happy. I'm assuming any such cart reader would cost, and I'd only want to play 2-3 of my retro games, so I doubt nintendo could release such a reader cheaply enough for me to justify its purchase.

Well I bought a card reader a while back from ebuyer for £2 . So im sure if nintendo wanted to they could bring it out for say £10. As we know the revo can already play n64 games the device would only have to read them :unsure: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyson Posted November 10, 2005 Share Posted November 10, 2005 It realy depends on how much the games cost. It would be awesome if you got some kind of credit system for online gaming tournements to get games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wesley Posted November 10, 2005 Share Posted November 10, 2005 If I could play my N64 games and Gamecube games on a Revolution . . . Then I'd buy one for sure. I really wish they would! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShadowV7 Posted November 10, 2005 Share Posted November 10, 2005 or some sort of device that scans that N64 Cartridge and enables us to download that game for free since we already own it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wesley Posted November 10, 2005 Share Posted November 10, 2005 Why not just copy the cartridge data onto the hard drive? That would be so awesome: a device that reads NES, SNES and N64 cartridges, just like one of thoses 6-in-1 card readers you have for PCs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MunKy Posted November 11, 2005 Share Posted November 11, 2005 I have my N64 on top of my VCR so I wouldnt buy this unless it updated the graphics and some how included more content. I would just download the games I missed and ones that have had significant upgrades. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeerMonkey Posted November 11, 2005 Share Posted November 11, 2005 i have a n64 but would rather download the game on the N5 or whatever the hell they are going to call it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
