Spring RTS Engine

So, since we've established that everyone in the universe will be buying a Rev when it comes out, let's take the next logical step: what classic games will you be buying for it?

Nintendo recently announced that not only will their own back-catalogue of games be available, but also a wide selection of well over a thousand titles from Sega's Master System and Genesis consoles as well as NEC's Turbographx console. (for a little history, the turbographx if I remember right came out a fair bit of time before other 16-bit consoles, but NEC makes monitors not game rigs, so they really had no clue how to market it. Basically a flop, but it had a few good games.)

Don't it just warm your heart to see that the old adversaries Nintendo and Sega have put aside their differences to fight a common evul? They make games, damn good ones - it's what they do. None of this corporate 12-month development cycle crap. Twilight Princess and MPHunters both got delayed simply because Nintendo wanted to make the game *even better*, not just push it out the door as a passable title. They take an excellent product and say, why not make it even better. It's good to see that at least one major publisher still has the balls to do this.

List off your top 5 titles, even if they've already been mentioned. Also say what made you choose that game... what makes it special for you, er, whatever.

My tentative list (can't make a final one since I've been up for 39 hours):

Sonic the Hedgehog (#2 in particular was good - I'm mostly getting this for the nostalgia and the great 2-player mode... I hope they can fix the slowdown a little when someone gets invinciblity though!)
Ristar - I've never seen anything quite like this on any other console. It was really well done and original.
Boogerman - for the gross-out factor mostly. This game is ridiculously hard but very funny and really gross. You flick snot at enemies to kill them and.... that doesn't even scratch the surface.
Vectorman (THIS WILL BE MY FIRST PURCHASE ONCE I GET ONLINE WITH REV - a truly innovative classic, anyone here should get this)
Super Metroid (second purchase, unless the menu leads me to this one first, in which case it will be right before vectorman ^^ This one's on my list for obvious reasons... it's probably the very best platformer ever made)
Keith Courage in the Alpha Zones (a turbographx 16 title, don't feel bad if you haven't heard of it. Good fun though. Sorta anime-ish. No story to speak of. This was the only TGX title I played for any period of time since it was my friend's console.)

I listed six, just to be totally rebellious. Fight tha powah!

How much will they cost?

I am Amish.

Needs more "console gaming sucks" poll options.

Note: They won't include ALL turbographx and sega games. Just the top of the cake. Will edit later with list

Well naturally. But the two Sega consoles had a *lot* of games. And then there's NES, SNES, N64, and TGX (that we know of).

I said games, not consoles/emulators (witch is what they use). They won't include to many sega GAMES.

Okay... First of All, I own, SMS, Genesis (what europies megadrive), SNES, Super Famicom, NES, TG16 (sadly not the CD epansion) N64, GameCube, DreamCast etc etc etc... so technically I don't think I'll bother paying much money for games I can play already... and I own physical working copies of most of my favorite games (Keith Courage sucks... what are you talking about Cadyr?)

Anyways... I also (OMGH4X0R) emulate all these systems fine on my computer and have the dohicky that let's me do that with a Keyboard/Mouse, GameCube or PS2 controller... whichever is more convenient for the game in question.

So, unless these games are really cheap I probably won't bother with normal ones... If they choose to support the "controller as a lightgun" idea I'll deffnitely get Duck Hunt, and Gangster Town, and Safari Hunt and any other uncrappy Light Gun Game.

Otherwise, if they are cheap (I'm talking less then 3$ canadian here), I would get Every Mario Game Ever Made (excluding Mario is Missing and Mario Teaches Typing) and all of the good old RPGs I could get my hands on... and Earth Worm Jim.

For TG16 I would probably get a Bonk game...

I would rathe think something like 3 ├óÔÇÜ┬¼... witch is a pretty reasnobole price. It's also been speculated that they will include games when you buy, so say you buy Mario Kart Revolution and you get 2-3 games from the mario kart series. And bundels of games will proably also be sold...

Nintendo's said "no more than a few pounds", so I'd expect iTMS-type pricing. They've also hinted that some games will be enhanced, so I'll wait and see what they do to which games.

Though the classic Mario, Sonic, and Zelda games are definitely on my list!

I sense there will at least be some sales on the Rev in which you get some number of free downloads. Classic Supersmash Brothers would be the first I get. Why when I still have access to a working n64+SSB? Because who ever feels like pulling those old systems out from under the bed (though some are lucky enough to have dedicated areas where they have all systems simultaneously set up)?

Then maybe some FF titles.

OMFG SEGA SATURNS DRAGON RPG OWNAGE THING OMG OMFG
can't remember the name tho ;.;

Panzer Dragoon?

FF5, earthbound, breath o fire 1+2, chronotrigger, and mario RPG are some musthaves... However I can do without buying them for the revolution due to the magic of the internet.

...I must be Amish...
A couple of those cool old games were like Crack Cocaine for the soul though

Panzer Dragoon?
<3 <3 <3
have a super duper dragon thing and a sweet rifle fore your efforts :D

Hmmmm...

Lylat Wars
Goldeneye 64
SSB
Mario 64
Blast Corps

That's just for N64 though....

Keith Courage... well maybe it was one of those games that you played when you were young and stuck with you and is therefore fun regardless of actual enjoyment. Ehhhh....

So, myself I don't have access to all those old systems anymore. My genesis is broke, I only played NES games at a friend's house, same for N64, never even laid hands on a bona fide SNES although I got this.... erm... adapter... that lets my computer play them.

>_>
<_<
>_>

I'll buy a rev just for a metroid prime game on the system. I don't care if everything else on it sucks. The fact that you can get old games is just gravy to me.

In my opinion the super nintendo was the greatest thing nintendo ever did. They had the third party developer line up to easily slaughter sega's more impressive hardware accomplishments and at the time of release thier hardware was comparable to anything else on the market. 25% of the best games ever made are on the SNES, a list would be very very long...
