LucasArts - digitial distribution is increasing interest in retro gaming
“…we’re experiencing a remarkable increase in retro gaming and nostalgia thanks in part to the digital distribution of games on Xbox Live Arcade, PSN, Wiiware, Steam and iTunes. We’re seeing that gamers are looking for new experiences, even if they’re found in classic games. The age range of the average gamer has significantly broadened and people are open now more than ever to different types of game genres.” - producer Craig Derrick
Look at the numerous WiiWare titles that are revivals of classic games. We just had Rainbow Islands hit North America this week! Retro is really big right now, and there couldn’t be a better time for revivals.
