According to a recent article in Famitsu magazine
downloading classic Nintendo games onto your Revolution will not be free. Boss man, Satoru Itawa, explicitly stated the
fact, but added that some games might be available for free download as a bonus for purchasing a Revolution title or
through special promotions. Packaging retro titles with current games is nothing new, but perhaps Nintendo will put a
revolutionary spin on the concept—say, buy Mario Revolution (not the real title) and download any three
Mario-related games from the past.
No word yet on the cost of downloads, or whether or not pricing will vary based on generation. We'll keep you posted.
