More Classic NES Titles For GBA Announced

Posted by simoniker on from the won't-rest-til-all-nes-titles-resurrected dept.

Thanks to Nintendojo for its list of the latest NES titles to be re-released on the Game Boy Advance in Japan. Though "it remains to be seen if any of these particular games will make it to North America", highlights include "Super Mario Bros. 2 [Japanese version], Zelda II: The Adventure of Link, Metroid, Kid Icarus, [and] Castlevania." We've previously covered earlier NES Classic iterations - in a similar vein to a recent GameSpy article, how many dollars would you actually spend on these NES re-releases for GBA?

    Worth mentioning that the GBA is not region restricted, you can play Japanese cartridges on a US gameboy.

    Also it's legal (I am not a lawyer) to play NES roms on a GBA through a flash card and emulator if you own the original title.

    I might as well, but these bundles aren't aimed at us. Nintendo's market with these packs is the NES-obsessed collector or retro-fan; the game-per-cart method allows them to go to town on the packaging, which is an important part of why they are doing this. Its not really aimed at those that just want to play a bunch of old games.

    A real NES obsessed collector (such as myself) collects NES games, not GBA reissues of NES Games. However, we will purchase a few of our favorites in the GBA format to take with us on the road.

    Myself, I bought the Super Mario one, and might get Donkey Kong.

    Though, at half the price I would probably buy them all.
