Not sure if it's fake or not but the screenshots shown are just mockups anyway (a good thing too when you look at them). Anyway this was apparently part of a marketing survey that Nintendo had a company conduct for them when it came to things like the pricing model for how old games can be purchased. Also gives a potential list of games that can be purchased at launch.

The survey was apparently an invite only and is closed now.

I'd be willing to bet it's fake. Although, I like the idea of being able to download old NES, SNES, and N64 games. Xbox Live Arcade for the 360 is great!

FFS people. Of course it's fake. Does that really look professional enough for a major company? Nintendo's UI would be FAR less painful on the eyes.

Yup, I can't wait for it to happen, but it sure won't happen like this.

Except that no one ever claimed that the images were made by Nintendo, it was clearly stated that these were simply mock-up images that a marketing company (that is completely seperate from Nintendo) made just to give the people they were surveying an idea of what the system would do.

That's true. The revolution will let you download Snes and NES games. Infact Nintendo stated you get 200 games for free.
