While we're still in the dark as to the true 'revolution' of Nintendo's next-gen console, the pre-E3 announcement that the Revolution would allow gamers to download any first-party home console game from Nintendo's past went some way to countering fan disappointment.
But the questions remained: which old-school Nintendo games will we be able to download and play on Revolution? And how much will they cost?
Well, the latest issue of Japanese mag Famitsu claims to answer the first question. In its latest issue, Famitsu has an in-depth look at Nintendo's next-gen console flanked by a list of 221 first-party NES, SNES, N64, 64DD (souped-up version of the N64) and Sattleview (obscure early attempt at an on-demand downloadable game system) games.
The full list of games is printed below. We've contacted Nintendo to verify the accuracy of the list and we'll let you know as soon as we hear back.
But whether the list is accurate or not, the important question is: how much will these games cost? We're still awaiting a definitive answer - Shigeru Miyamoto talked of a nominal fee at E3, while Nintendo of America vice president George Harrison suggested that the downloads would be free.
But Nintendo of America president Perrin Kaplin went on the record with website Planet GameCube yesterday saying that plans for the downloadable games had not been finalised yet.
"It is possible that players will enjoy these games without a charge from Nintendo," said Kaplin, "or there may be some pay structure for accessing the actual product. Our goal is to make it as easy and inexpensive as possible, which could be free."
What's this? Nintendo keeping details about its new console under its hat? Whatever next? We'll keep you up to date with the plans for The Revolution's downloadable content, but in the meantime spurt your old-school Nintendo love juice all over this hefty list:

I do some freelance writing for various gaming sites and magazines, and I'm looking for a good way of capturing still images from Nintendo DS games.
Ideally, this method should be inexpensive and shouldn't require a serious hardware modification, but I'm open to suggestions.
Any ideas? ...by Published on June 7th, 2005 05:43
I was using the program little rider that comes with the Flash Linker when i noticed a bottom up in the options window that said format card i thought why not i thought it would just erase the card completely and i would be ok. But card and linker has not worked since is there any one out there that can help me out with this thanks. Have of the time card is not found and half of the time it says linker is not found. I reinstalled the little rider but still nothing is happening.
thanks.

Im looking into buying a gp32 and i need to know how long i need to save my pennies to get one, any one know where the cheapest GP32 availible to America are sold ...by Published on June 6th, 2005 22:26
not sure if this was already covered, as it seems to be 6 month old news, and I wasnt exactly here that much during thoes months but..
I recall a much hyped (on dcemu at least) memory card that had some kind of loader that would allow you to run homebrew code from a memory card... today I thought about this, so I googled it and found this... gcdev.com link. (yah, if this hasnt been covered yet, some one should be shot). anyways... read...
FROM GCDEV.COM:
also, here is a pic.On New Year's Day, January 1st, 2005, I bring to you the first release of my latest GameCube project!
NO more tolerating PSO for homebrew development!
NO need to modify your GameCube for fast GC code testing cycles!
I bring to you SDLOAD! SDLOAD is an SD (Secure Digital) card / Action Replay bootloader. With just an Action Replay (ANY revision works fine) and an SD card adapter for your GameCube, you can be booting code from the SD card or even your PC network within seconds! I estimate it takes around 10 to 15 seconds from the time you turn on your GC to the time you can have homebrew code running on it.
Once you have installed the loader, all you do is turn on your GameCube, press A to "Start Game", open and close the DVD disk cover, and you are instantly greeted with my SDLOAD DOL selection menu. I have even added a network boot feature so you can use SDLOAD in conjunction with PSOload to instantly boot code from your PC to the GC through the network. As well as this, I have included a nice reload feature so that any GC program can exit back to the SDLOAD menu screen by branching to a location in RAM.
Download SDLOAD Release V1.00 HERE!!!!
I hope this will revolutionize GameCube development. This method works on all GameCube consoles, so you can take your SD cards along to friends' houses as well and show your homebrew programs to them. Once you have the files on the SD card, no PC is needed.
Also, there is NO need for a method to run code on the GC in order to install this loader. ALL you need is an Action Replay, SD card adapter for the GameCube, PC SD card reader, and an SD card.
The only down-side is that many people do not own SD card adapters for the GameCube yet, but they can be bought for only $30 at Lik-Sang. I include instructions in the readme file for making your own adapter if you want to do so, or feel free to e-mail me at [email protected] (remove the NOSPAM before e-mailing) if you would like me to make and sell you an adapter for cheap. Read the readme.txt and install.txt files for crystal clear details about this project and for information on how to install and use it.

With the Xbox version of Grand Theft Auto San Andreas just days away, Rockstar has casually released these new screenshots of the game to further tempt any of you who resisted the PS2 version to part with your cash.
In addition to the cities, modes and features present in the PS2 version, the Xbox game will feature a few technical improvements over the original, making it the console version to own.
New lighting and shading models, high-resolution textures, an increased draw distance and 480p support make this version look much nicer, with the 5.1 surround sound ably backing up the graphical improvements.
In addition, the Xbox version also features a 30 second replay mode, allowing you to re-enjoy nasty moments, and a customisable soundtrack, giving you the option to build your own radio station playlists.
Amusingly, the DJ commentary and silly adverts still play out in-between your tracks, so you don't have to sacrifice some of the humour in order to enjoy you're own music.
Anyway, enough chat, check out the new screenshots on the right.

Nintendo has finished collating and formatting all 221 of its first-party NES, SNES and N64 titles, which will be offered to Revolution users via free download when new the hardware launches in 2006.
According to an article in the latest issue of Japanese games magazine Famitsu, Nintendo will definitely offer every first-party title it's ever published for its three pre-Cube consoles for free download from day one.
Famitsu also reconfirmed that Nintendo will allow third-parties to make any number of their games available, though points out that the pricing of such titles is at the discretion of the publisher in question and as such won't necessarily be free.
While it's clear Nintendo's motive for offering its back-catalogue to customers for free is to shift its new console, third-party publishers have no self-serving motive for giving their games to Nintendo for free, so are expected to use their titles to add purchasing incentive to their own Revolution game releases.
Famitsu has also published new results for its ongoing reader survey, where readers vote for which next-gen console they're most interested in.
Revolution is once again on top, slightly extending its lead with 43% of the vote, while PS3 has suffered a big drop on previous results to 35%, and Xbox 360 has climbed to 22%.
Whether or not these figures will translate to actual real-world market share remains to be seen... ...by Published on June 6th, 2005 17:57
Microsoft's Xbox 360 will be priced at $299 when it hits shelves later this year, according to analysts at major investment bank UBS, with Microsoft subsidising each console to the tune of $75 in order to meet that price point.
Predictions by the analysts, reported last week in the Toronto Globe and Mail, suggest that Microsoft will pay $375 per unit to its manufacturing partners, with the final retail price of the console pegged at $299.
That's in line with comments from Microsoft boss J Allard, who told the media at E3 that the Xbox 360 would launch "in the neighbourhood" of the $300 price point at which the original Xbox launched in late 2001 in North America.
The $75 subsidy reportedly required to hit the launch price is quite high, but not unusual for a new console. Platform holders routinely subsidise their consoles at launch in order to build an installed base, and then make back the money from software sales and the rapidly falling price of hardware manufacture late in the lifespan of the console.
However, Microsoft found it more difficult to do this with the original Xbox, since it had to continue buying components from partners such as NVIDIA and Intel at high prices - unlike Sony, which has been able to hugely reduce the manufacturing cost of the PS2 as it builds most of the core components itself.
For Xbox 360, Microsoft has moved to a more Sony-like model, and expects to be able to realise similar economies as the scale of manufacturing ramps up and the component costs fall. ...by Published on June 6th, 2005 17:54
Nintendo's DS continues to top the hardware sales rankings in Japan and has now outsold the PlayStation Portable in the year to date figures - while quirky crossover PS2 RPG Namco X Capcom has topped the software ranking.
The success of the DS has defied expectations from most market watchers, who expected the PSP to catch up rapidly with the sales lead Nintendo's console had built up in the fourth quarter of 2004 once both systems were in good supply at retail.
However, a strong line-up of software for the DS has kept it selling better than its more powerful rival for the last few weeks, with games such as Nintendogs putting in chart-topping performances.
Year to date sales of the DS now stand at over 904,000 units, according to top market-watchers Media Create, while the PSP has sold 892,000 units - which, combined with the DS' far more impressive performance at launch in late 2004, puts the Nintendo system way out in front of Sony's platform.
Looking to software, the Namco-published crossover RPG Namco X Capcom is this week's chart-topper, leading a top three entirely made up of new games - with Enterbrain's PS2 title Bewick Saga at number two, and Bandai's anime-licensed DS title SD Gundam G Generation DS at number three.
Four other new titles make it into the ranking this week, helping to propel sales further out of the major slump they experienced earlier this spring. Genki's Racing Battle: C1 Grand Prix, Gust's Atelier Iris: Eternal Mana 2 and Square Enix' Hanjuku Hero 4: 7 Nin no Hanjuku Hero, all on PS2, occupy places five to seven respectively, while US-developed Cube title Metroid Prime 2: Echoes comes in at number nine.
Also still selling well is Nintendo's "not-a-game" DS title DS Training for Adults: Work Your Brain, which is at number four in its second week of sales - further proof, if any were needed, of the platform's potential to reach beyond normal gaming genres and, indeed, the normal game purchasing demographic. ...- Search DCEmu
