Revolution's virtual console: to rent or own?
Posted Apr 19th 2006 9:00AM by Blake Snow
Just how will gamers be allowed to access the classics via Nintendo Revolution's proposed virtual console? Nintendojo ponders the answer between owning, renting, and even subscriptions. From the article: "Revolution's Virtual Console is a core feature of the system, and it will act as an online store offering selections from Nintendo's vast video game back catalog. Yet the way in which these games are sold to consumers will greatly affect how each person experiences the classics."
Though owning is probably preferred by most, would prospective Revolution buyers be willing to rent or subscribe for a lesser fee?

Though many gamers are hoping for free, otherwise it'll turn down a lot of customers for them
However, look at it from a business standpoint:
-Super Mario 1 was released for Nintendo
-Super Mario 1 was released for SNES (Super Mario All Stars)
-Super Mario 1 was released for arcade
-Super Mario 1 was released for Game Boy Color
-Super Mario 1 was released for Game Boy Advance
-Super Mario 1 was released for "plug-in-play TV"
Isn't that enough bashing of one game? To sell it again is just plain greedy now
