Donkey Kong Country finally makes it to the GBA which is good in someways - the GBC version was seriously watered down.
In other ways...
Well:
GBA - £60
Mario Advance - £30
Mario Advance 2 - £30
Mario Advance 4 - £30
Super Mario Bros (Gameboy Colour) - £10-20
Donkey Kong Country - £30
+ batteries
+ the need to tilt the screen at a perfect angle.
Total - between £190 and £200
Or, you can nip down to your local second handshop/market and although the prices will vary, here's what I paid:
Snes - £20
Donkey Kong Country (boxed) - £10
Super Mario World (unboxed - Super Mario Advance 2) - £6
Super Mario All Stars (unboxed - compilation including:) - £8
Super Mario Bros
Super Mario Lost Levels (not available on handheld, probably not missed)
Super Mario Bros 2 (Super Mario Advance 2)
Super Mario Bros 3 (Super Mario Advance 4)
+ bright TV display and more comfortable controller.
Total - £44
Not found Zelda yet (the ONE drawback - availability!)
Sure, the GBA version have a few added odds and ends as added extra's but not £150 worth!
Nintendo are great games makers and all that, but they are really milking their handheld audience. You'd think that after 12 years they'd be wanting to better Super Mario World. Not water it down and re-release it on a smaller screen.
Oh well.
The Games Business is the Games BUSINESS I suppose, and I guess it does fund Gamecube devellopment. Perhaps they don't think Mario World can be surpassed...
Defeatests. Nintendo are shadows of their formerselves, I'll do a topic on in one day...
