Now it all becomes clear. Playing it on the NES, the worst you could do was fling the controller. That was only a couple bucks to replace if it broke. So now when today's generation gets to the Grim Reaper and suffers a frustrating defeat, they'll have to shell out for a whole new GBA after their old one shatters against the wall.
Now that's what I call marketing.
