Must-Have GBA Games For Big Screen?

Thanks to several readers for pointing out the IGN Pocket summary picking their 15 must-have GameBoy Advance titles for those who've bought the GameBoy Player add-on for the GameCube, and so are getting a chance to play GBA games on their TV sets for the first time. The authors have "..gone through the GameBoy Advance library, and hand-picked 15 titles in the collection that we'd consider 'can't miss' games on the handheld." Picks include obvious class acts like Advance Wars 2 and Castlevania: Aria Of Sorrow, as well as less well-known titles such as Ninja Five-O and Puyo Pop.

They still make the FamiCom? & Game Over

[Hollinger]

Q: The Famicom (NES) recently celebrated its twentieth anniversary, your thoughts?

Fortunately, many people have the chance to enjoy it. It became impossible to procure a fixed number of parts to continue manufacturing the console, so production will stop this year. Our intention however is to keep the Famicom alive. There were clearly masterpieces of software available for it, and we're examining how we can keep those titles alive with today's technology.

Are they still making the FamiCom (NES, whatever)? I really, really one want one of the top loading variety... If I can get it new, I'd be one happy geek. I've been a Nintendo convert since my first NES back in the day.

Anyone ever read Game Over, a book about the rise (and fall) of Nintendo? It's a great read, giving loads of history and insight into the game maker, and the business (and fun) of gaming. Check out the amazon.com entry for it here. By the way, I snipped off the extra bits of the URL, so there's no referral code, or session ID.
