GBA-Based Classic NES Series Confirmed For States
Thanks to IGN for its article revealing that Nintendo has confirmed their Game Boy Advance-based classic NES conversions for U.S. release on June 7th. According to the article: "The collection [already released in Japan as the Famicom Mini Series] will be called [the] Classic NES Series, and will begin as a limited edition NES Game Boy Advance SP as well as a line-up of eight classic games", with the specific titles being Donkey Kong, Pac-Man, The Legend of Zelda, Super Mario Bros., Excitebike, Ice Climber, Xevious, and Bomberman. The piece also notes: "Each game in the series will be priced at $19.99, and will be packaged in a standard Game Boy Advance box featuring the classic artwork of the original game."
With any luck, we'll get that NES controller seat cushion too. ;-)
They already did. It came out at GBA launch. I think it was called (wait for it) Super Dodge Ball Advance. Good luck finding it!
Oh, yes! Please, PLEASE give me the honor of paying $20 each for a bunch of 10 year old games that cost a dollar in their original format and/or can be played for free on an emulator (even a portable PDA emu!)! As a Nintendo sh33p, I will gladly pay you over and over again for the same re-hashed games!
