News: Are third parties supporting the service. All signs point to yes.
Since it is published by Nintendo themselves, when Nintendo Power makes pronouncements about future Nintendo projects, most people pay attention. It looks like they may have done it again in a pronouncement about the Revolution Virtual Console Game Download Service from their letter section. A reader asked:
"...will it have games produced by third-party companies like Konami and Capcom as well?"
The letter was accompanied by a picture of Bionic Commando and Nintendo Power replied thusly:
"It's entirely up to the third-parties. Though nothing has been announced yet, we'd be surprised if most major publishers didn't jump on board."
So it looks like a piece of the Revolution that we all hope is true is one step closer to reality. Classic NES, SNES and N64 games from third-parties will most likely be available to download. All that's left is to pose the question to any third-parties out there. Hopefully someone will break the silence soon.
