Trust me, if the downloads are cheap (say a quarter for a NES game) then it will be a HUGE selling point. Not everyone wants to sit on the computer and play the game with a horrible game pad (some PC joypads are good, but most aren't) when you can just play it on your TV with a very good pad. It's all a matter of perception and whether or not you feel good about playing pirated games (I do on my Dreamcast) or whether you want to be legit and actually pay (minimally I hope) for a good copy.

And if you read my post, the reason why I think it's better than sliced bread is because of the GCN compatibility. Sure I have a GCN already, but with this I get a new system and a GCN in one. Also another selling point to me is SSB Online that (if you've played Melee and got addicted) will be one of the greatest things this world has ever seen (hopefully). And about it's secrecy, I don't really care, but the things I do know (plus the aesthetics of the console) are great.

And I never said I don't like blood and gore, I said that I don't really see the NEED for it in a game. Sure the GTAs have gotten away with it, but a game like Manhunt (IMO) is really not necessary. Halo 2 doesn't have blood and gore and look how that did. Also, I do like some games like that (GTA:SA, MK2, Total Carnage) but when it becomes an abundance then it really isn't my cup of tea...unless it's a REALLY great game. GTA:SA comes to mind becuase it took the, what I think to be crappiness, of the two previous games and refined them to greatness. No more loading between cities, countryside, upgradable elements, swimming and more and more. But that's just me.

Keep dreaming. They will be 1-5 dollars a download.

Yeah more than likely. But at least I have a SNES to satisfy me

Also my Dreamcast is a good vacsimile for my emulation needs.

Well like I said in my "bigger" post, I like playing the games on the big TV on the couch without a horrible controller or a laptop in my lap. Although the DC controller is a little bit confusing sometimes to work with when it comes to NES, SNES, Gen games...it's alot better than anything I've found in the PC market (including the PSJoy adapter). About the SNES though, I bought it for 3$ at a warehouse sale and couldn't pass that up since my old one is in New York somewhere.

Not keeping roms on your computer? That's what the PSP is for... :P

uummmmm...halo 2 has blood.... not really gore... but LOTS of blood... okay maybe not LOTS... but close to it...every time you shoot someone they squirt a little blood.... even after they aree dead... but thats not why the game is so good... but turning the floor blue by shooting an elite over and over is quite entertaining...
