Nintendo - NES Classics, Metroid Prime 2 Movies

An anonymous reader writes "Game Informer has broken the news that there will be four new NES Classic titles released for Game Boy Advancein the States this October 25th: 'The four titles will include Dr. Mario, Metroid, Castlevania, and Zelda 2: The Adventure Of Link. Each title will retail for a suggested price of $19.99.' [We've previously covered the Japanese re-release of some of these.] Also, Game Informer has put up 15 movies from the Metroid Prime 2: Echoes demo disc that ships with the new Metroid Prime GameCube bundle. The movies cover every single second of the disc, from beginning to end."

Re:Two of these already on GBA

Or at a reduced cost. I'm sorry but although I agree these games are 'classic' (even though Zelda 2 is perhaps the worst of the entire series) $10 is more than enough to milk out of me for them.

PocketPC - $99
1GB memory card - $110
Downloading NES/GB/SNES ROMS - $0

Why doesn't Nintendo release them, say 4 to a cartridge? For $24.99 that would be very fair.

The classic game collections on PSX such as the Namco arcade series, come with multiple games on the CD.

Where's the argument of, "I bought (licensed?) this game on Nintendo when I was 9 years old, why should I have to pay anything more than the cost of the media now?" People use that argument with VHS/DVD, and CD/Tape

On a side note, are these games emulated, or re-written?
