Why would they spend the time and money to port games? They're not microsoft (game-to-game backwards compatibility on 360)! Emulation is wwwwaaaaayyyyyy easier. And if they don't bother making more powerful hardware, why would they bother porting games?

Question- What is your opinion of console homebrew? I know you said in one of your Zencasts (my word!) that you don't support software hacking, just the hardware. Did you just mean ISOs/ROMs or all homebrew software?

Fair Point. I just think that would be the way Nintendo would work. I hope they do port them though, Becuase then atleast you'd get new features like a online score board (ala 360) and other things. I'm sure not many people would pay again to play the exact same game. But maybe they would, For convineince.Ari wrote:Question- What is your opinion of console homebrew?
