Nintendo launches Classic NES Games for GBA SP

[bahn]

Well here's something many never saw coming (unless you're among our forum crew who were tipped off several days ago). Nintendo is taking a page from the past, introducing an all-new GBA SP design resembling the classic NES console.

But that's not all! On June 7, you'll also be able to choose from several other popular classics like Super Mario Bros., Donkey Kong, Pac-Man, The Legend of Zelda, Excitebike, Ice Climber, Xevious, and Bomberman.

These "are the best games ever," gushes 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."

Oh, in case you're wondering, there's no special price point for the new GBA SP design. You'll still have to fork over 99.99 and it won't offer any new features that the existing designs offer. But word on the street indicates this is a limited edition, so make sure you camp out at your local game store if you expect to pick one up.

Looks like it's time for me to start saving my pennies again.

Did he really say that?

If so, I don't know whether to think of him as a childish buffoon or a comic genius.

DiffusionX works for Nintendo now? The apocalypse is surely near...

The GBA looks cool.

The games are a total rip-off and I feel sorry for anyone who forks money over for them.

Collector's Items.

The boxes have got to go, though.
