I really hope so. I'd rather look back at this and say,
"Remember when those 'Infinium Labs' guys fooled everyone for two whole years into thinking they were making a console, and they kept 'delaying' it with the excuse that they were being held up by a bunch of nonexistant lawsuits against people who offended their egos?"
instead of,
"Remember when Infinium Labs made that console that was held up for years as they devoted their time to lawsuits against people who offended their egos, and then when it came out it sucked, nobody bought it, and they went out of business?"

Sega's actually been releasing emulated download games for a few years now. Sega Link will make their efforts more accessible to consumers who don't have credit cards, as the Sega Cash virtual currency can be purchased from Sega Arcade centres.Professor Machenstein wrote: As for the emulation, it seems SEGA is also getting into the "download-our-games" trend the Nintendo Revolution and the Phantom are cooking up.
It was released as part of the Sega B-Club service in 2003. Naka was very impressed by the quality of emulation and hoped that Burning Rangers would appear on the service. ^_^Professor Machenstein wrote:Here's hoping for a downloadable NiGHTS.

It's good to see at least Sega of Japan did not forget all about Alex Kidd...
