Nintendos new consol, 'Nintendo Revolution' is released in 2006. Nintendo won't release too much information, so Sony or Microsoft don't copy Nintendo's secrets. But Nintendo has given some few but very nice news.

Nintendo Revolution will have a system that can download games from all the older consols, Nes, Snes, N64 and all GC games is playable.

This is very good news for us, who played, and loved, Terranigma. I haven't played Terranigma for years but I still remembers the game, and I will buy NR the first day it's released, and download and play Terranigma all the time hehe

Terranigma and other Soul Blazer games is still belong to Quintet and Enix (SquareEnix as now), not Nintendo. Downloadable classic games you heard is owned by Nintendo, not third-party companies. But we could download games developed by RARE before Microsoft took that company from Nintendo's hands. We need to be patient for SquareEnix's decision about their classic games going in Revolution or re-released as GBA verison.

Big question: I wonder what's happens to Quintet company?

[edit]
Check out the list of classic games will be play on Revolution:

The Soul Blazer trilogy's copyright/trademark has run out. Therefore, though it's still their "property" in the fact that they made the games, they don't really... OWN them anymore.

And the company Quintet went under right before Terranigma was to be domesticated in the states. If Quintet hadn't gone under, we probably would have seen Terranigma in the states.

I know Nintendo don't own the rights, but didn't thought about that.
But I don't think it's just Nintendo games that will be downloadable.

There's already a thread about the Revolution in the General Gaming forum, this could have gone there.
