Nintendo Launches Classic NES Games for Game Boy Advance

REDMOND, Wash.--March 29, 2004--Wait `til you hear! On June 7, Nintendo is going totally retro with a classic collection of eight Nintendo Entertainment System (NES)(R) games for the Game Boy(R) Advance and a tubular new Game Boy(R) Advance SP that looks like an itty bitty NES console. The `80s were, like, a long time ago. But everything from then is way cool again. Back then, games went from blocky bleeps and bloops to sweet side-scrollers like Super Mario

Bros.(R) And the most excellent NES saved the day for the video game industry. Bonus!

"I mean, Donkey Kong and Pac-Man? These are, like, the best games ever," says Perrin "Mallrat" Kaplan, Nintendo of America's vice president, marketing and corporate affairs. "And if you aren't just dying to get your hands on the gnarly new Classic NES Limited Edition GBA SP, you're a total dweeb."

OK, so let's break it down: The bodacious new Game Boy Advance SP has the same guts and everything as a regular one, but its casing looks just like the NES. And it's still at an MSRP of $99.99. Be sure to get to the mall, like, really early, because it's a "limited edition."

The Classic NES Series, which you totally have to get, includes all the hottest retro games, each one at an MSRP of $19.99. Check it out:

-- Donkey Kong: The best game featuring a plumber rescuing a princess from a big ape pretty much ever.

-- Pac-Man: Hel-lo? If you don't know this game then where have you been?

-- The Legend of Zelda: Dude! How classic can you get? The righteous Link whips Ganon and saves Zelda. Link rules!

-- Super Mario Bros.: There are pipes and coins and these grody goombas and you just stomp away.

-- Excitebike: It's a rad motocross racing game that lets you rip around a track and kick up dirt and stuff.

-- Ice Climber: Like, duh. You climb the ice and whack monsters.

-- Xevious: Go to space and shoot stuff with your wicked spaceship.

-- Bomberman: Drop bombs on the baddies.

:confused: what's up with the crappy writing style? sounds like a child wrote it, with all the "like, dude" and "total dweeb" quotes... is this a joke?

but whatever, sounds pretty cool. i wouldnt pay money for those games though, my friend bought this awesome little setup from a kiosk in a mall here. it is two controllers, one looks like an N64 and one looks like a sega controller. you plug the N64 controller into your tv via audio/video jacks, and it has 30 or so classic NES games built into it, each game in its entirety. then the sega conroller plugs into the N64 controller so you can have two players. you got this whole setup, with 30 built in games, all for 50 bucks. pretty cool :cool:

Why would anyone pay money for that shit or for what Radio said when you can go out and buy a DC for $20 and play 1000's of roms from various emulators!

Some people still have no clue what a rom or emulator is. Some of my friends have no clue about any of those things... most of them don't even own a computer. So there still is a market for these types of things.

id say 90%-95% of my friends would have no idea what i was talking about if i started talking about mod chips and emulators. a majority of them only play sports video games mainly anyway, if they do play many video games at all... not very hardcore gamers.
