it is legal, cause they have licensed the games to be used, emulator are not illegal, but they are hard to use legally unless you create the roms your self

Read about this in this months Gamepro. Great Idea for people who want to play old games and dont want to mess with emulators. I however, will stick with good ol ZSNES, Gens, Nestopia, etc.
An interesting concept, but I don't like the fact that you have to be online to play the game. As far as I know, there is no way to permanently buy the game, and play it offline :yucky:.
