"Hello Nintendo, please steal all my money..."

...and when you're finished why not ravish my mother?

I mean, really, £12.99 for a GBA conversion of NES game? A NES game that I could probably play in Animal Crossing? A NES game that is worth about 3 pence?

I like Nintendo, I really do, but with this sort of innovative approach to screwing over loyal customers it's no wonder the company is in a bit of trouble.

You're saying ports of nes games cost more to make than whole new games?
*Raises eyebrow*

Heh. Just as well you're not Ninty's defence lawyer, try that one at the EU! :^D

Oh come on it's for collectors only now isn't it or kids who haven't played them yet.

I mean I'd complain that the GBA SP is still £90 not that a few ports are £15....

Nintendo are promoting some old classic games, they haven't produced many of them so they're not as cheap to make a normal GBA software and they'll be fun... especially for collectors.

Just don't buy them... it's that simple.

Oh and Nintendo aren't in too much trouble, they're just in decline.

Never! Super Mario World was amazing, it really was, but still one of the weakest Mario titles yet. Just look at it's sequel, Yoshi's Island, it's leaps and bounds ahead of it.

Super Mario World back on the snes is the best EVER Mario game.

Followed closely by Super Mario 3 as the ability to change suits rocks.

I think they should bung all of these games on one cart and sell it for 25 quid. I'd be tempted at that sort of price.

I agree with Zelda - I doubt it'll sell as much as it would have should the Zelda collection on GameCube have not included the two NES titles.

After playing Zelda on the collectors' disk, I'd have to say £15 looks a bit steep.
Good game still, but £15...

I'd say it's worth £10 at most.
I also couldn't see Ninty going below that, so I'd say £10 would be fair.


Sure, nobody's making me buy them (and I probably won't), but after Ninty's EU theivery, other perpetual re-releasing on the GBA, changing their SD card plans to prevent it being a normal memory card, so they could make more money selling mem. cards, I don't think it's unreasonable to moan about this latest rape attempt.

same here, a good start, yes?

the oldies are the best

Super Mario Bros was the first Nintendo game I ever had the pleasure of playing. I look forward to my second handheld copy.

I have Super Mario Bros on Game Boy Color - it didn't quite sound right and didn't feel quite right. Hopefully this is sorted in the Advance version.

No, no they aren't.

Super Mario Bros. and Yoshi's Island are the best in the series, yet they were released yonks ago.
