Would you like an N64 cartridge reader?

[michaelarran]

I still have my N64 and all the games, and would gladly pay £30-40 to be able to play them through the Revolutions's virtual console, rather than buy them again.

There was a survey asking about such a device run by Nintendo in the US (Gamecube related, then) last year , so I wonder if such a device is in the works? Maybe that is what was behind the cover that wasn't opened at E3?

Cheers

PS, and I suppose, it could also be a reader for NES, SNES, Megadrive...

[DiemetriX]

Nah.. I would rather spend som dolloars to Download the game.

[mike-zim]

yeah i mean if it will cost you £30-£40 for this thing then you are better off downloading. anyway i never sell my old console. i still have all the working ones.

Yeer i would rather down-load, i have a n64, but i misse dout on some greats, i'll down olad the ones i missed, but they may even up grade them a bit (i'm still dreaming of golden eye on-line)-but the nearest thing will propbaly just be the source mod.

[bencallis]

Not a bad idea. The revolution has 2 usb ports so a device such as this should be able to be made. I don't think nintendo will but maybe 3rd parties.

[quich_delvyn]

i would rath dl them from the rev but i do remember and i took that survey

[demonmike04]

This reminds me of a poll NOA did which definitly hinted at an N64 cartridge reader.
The poll question: If we were to release a new type of Gameboy player which would enable N64 games on Gamecube, how much would you pay?

But i think in the end nintendo went with the back catalogue approach for revolution, but there is still hope for those who want an N64 player, but the poll was a year or two back, so dont expect too much.

[SupaFry]

I'd get one if they were made. Mainly because all me N64 controlers analog sticks are worn down.

[1upking]

download is the future, just look at iTunes, so maybe we will be able to download ALL of our games

[system_error]

I would prefer download games over using my old N64 cartdriges again.

[DCK]

I sold all my N64 games so no. Downloading works for me though :)

[Pestneb]

so long as games are cheap enough I'm happy.
I'm assuming any such cart reader would cost, and I'd only want to play 2-3 of my retro games, so I doubt nintendo could release such a reader cheaply enough for me to justify its purchase.

Well I bought a card reader a while back from ebuyer for £2 . So im sure if nintendo wanted to they could bring it out for say £10. As we know the revo can already play n64 games the device would only have to read them :unsure:

It realy depends on how much the games cost. It would be awesome if you got some kind of credit system for online gaming tournements to get games.

[Wesley]

If I could play my N64 games and Gamecube games on a Revolution . . .

Then I'd buy one for sure. I really wish they would!

[ShadowV7]

or some sort of device that scans that N64 Cartridge and enables us to download that game for free since we already own it

[Wesley]

Why not just copy the cartridge data onto the hard drive?

That would be so awesome: a device that reads NES, SNES and N64 cartridges, just like one of thoses 6-in-1 card readers you have for PCs.

I have my N64 on top of my VCR so I wouldnt buy this unless it updated the graphics and some how included more content. I would just download the games I missed and ones that have had significant upgrades.

[BeerMonkey]

i have a n64 but would rather download the game on the N5 or whatever the hell they are going to call it
