On the Nintendo front, I just read that first party NES/SNES/N64 games will be downloadable for free. I have to say that I'm surprised at this, but that I'm also really looking forward to it. The only question now is which games will actually be available for download-there's a lot of potential here to disappoint. For example, will you be able to download Super Mario 64, even though it might eat into the DS version's sales? This move definitely means that Nintendo is losing some of its ability to rehash their back catalogue. On the other hand, I bet it'll sell more than a few consoles, since a large, free game library out of the box is a very attractive prospect.
