Posted December 28, 2005 I think GameTap going 360 might mean the.. Sneak Peek at the future of 360's XBLA On one hand, it sounds promising, it may combat Nintendo's "Virtual Console." On the other, it may kill Microsoft's pricing control, and plans, if there's any. I hope Sony is catching onto the trends of downloading games. Your thoughts?

Posted December 28, 2005 No, Nintendo games arent available on Gametap, heres a list of the games that are http://www.gametap.com/home/game_titles/index.jsp Its a nice feature, but yet another monthly subscription which is the downside. If i understand correctly, you can buy old Nintendo games on the Rev and they are yours forever, so this still doesnt diminish the virtual console any Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted January 11, 2006 when it said tht u cud play games from "ntendo era domination" tht doesnt mean tht u can download nintendo games too does it? say it isnt so.... I didn't say PSX, NES/SNES....I specificly meant third party games released in the eras I mentioned, like in the Nintendo era domination - NES, SNES, Genesis, Arcade. And the PlayStation era domination - Saturn, PSX, PS2, xbox, PC, etc. What cant u keep them forever with gametap? This is what I said in that same thread: "And you would own the piece of download you play....I think, because the idea of XBLA, is just that....I think there would be a separate GameTap system, and it would allow you to download and KEEP the download. The idea is to expand the GameTap brand, to reach the awareness of Xbox 360 XBLA'ers. At least, that's what I think." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
