Wow, this makes me all nostalgic…

I don’t know if I’d pay $20 per game but maybe for Excite Bike…I loved that game. I hope they add an option to actually save the tracks you create. I also do have that game on my NES emulator…hmmm….

I would not pay $20 per game. $20 for all of them, maybe. Then again, I used to play Zelda on my PPC very often without spending a penny…  8)

Yeah, I don’t see why they don’t release 4 games on one cartridge. That “might” be worth $20 but it’s pushing it. They were selling these games for less for that lame GameBoy reader thingie before.

Of course, i’m not against them remaking these games with prettier graphics, new courses, etc. and then bundling the classic version with the game. Metroid Zero is like that. They have an enhanced “first version” and you can unlock the original game (among other things) if you finish within a certain time.

Hehe, yeah there is an emulator to play them.  Just get a flash card.  If you play a lot of games on the go, its a nice investment.  As for playing the NES games at home, I use either my Xbox or Dreamcast (provided what controller I feel like holding, even though they’re pretty close.  im wierd.)

I wouldn’t pay the high price for these GBA carts since I own the NES originals and have the ROMS on my TR, but I did manage to score a limited edition NES GBA SP today. Looks great and the retro touch is very nice.

They aren’t too limited in my area…I was in Best Buy today, they had a good 20 or so…
