Great news for TurboGrafx fans
Well there’s this exciting news from Nintendo saying that they’ll support old Sega and TurboGrafx 16 games on their Revolution console. Thrilling news, isn’t it? I mean, that’s the reason why you’re going to spend $200-$300 on a console — to play old games, right?
That’s the thing I like about XBL Arcade. Yes some old games are on there, but most are new games that do take advantage of the console, although they are simple. Feeding Frenzy is one of those games. It seems like a stupid game. You’re a fish. You eat other fish. You get bigger and eat bigger fish. Think Bubbles in an aquarium. But it’s strangely addictive and fun. It’s not Bonk’s Dumb Ass adventure, ya know?

No. But it’s a smart way to add a revenue stream to a system that going to be marketed to a different crowd than the other consoles.
People have to remember that Nintendo is trying to be the 2nd console in a Next-Gen household or the only console in a “Walmart” household.
