…as well as games sold for the TurboGrafx console (a system jointly developed by NEC and Hudson). These games join Revolution’s access to 20 years of fan-favorite Nintendo games from the NES, Super NES and Nintendo 64 eras.

This was announced at GDC. Good news for any Genesis fanatics. :thumb2:

Wow, that game looks very impressive! Man, I want a DS LITEEEE.

I gotta sell some of my crappy DS to get it though, and maybe some crappy PSP games. :\
