221 Free Games for Nintendo Revolution
"The latest issue of Japanese gaming mag Famitsu reveals that Nintendo has 221 NES/SNES/N64 and Gamecube games for the Revolution, which will be available through the console's download service.
Nintendo's VP of marketing George Harrison also recently said in an interview that the older Nintendo titles would be downloadable for free.
Scans of the Famitsu article have popped up on the Web, but I've only been able to find a partial translation from Japanese so far:
But what's interesting is that Famitsu stated that Nintendo had 221 published titles for NES/SNES/N64/[Gamecube]. They also used a Final Fantasy V pic to tell us it is possible to play other companies' old games through Revolution. So there are 221 games that can be downloaded from the download service (in Japan) not counting the possible third-party downloads."
