Nintendo asks gamers to vote for the next batch of NES re-releases

Not to mention the game is still probably missing the damn factory level.

I hope this survey alters the next batch, because the second batch that came out in Japan is really weak. Just about all of them can be played in some other form on the GBA. One of them is Mario Bros., which can be played on any of the Super Mario Bros. Advanced games, or E-Reader.

The way they're marketing these games seems like they're aiming for the nostalgic, casual gamers more than the hardcore gamers. I think they're looking for the 18-26 year old males who grew up on NES and may only own one current system (or maybe none at all) to pick up an NES GBA SP, and a few of those $20 games. I see way more ads for this stuff in Maxim and its ilk than I do in video game magazines.

Maybe they'd make more money by marketing these to the serious nerds. I'm sure plenty of people would buy these all up at $5-$10, but I think they're doing alright as is.

-be sure to note that there are drop down menus that allow you to choose GOOD games that are'nt listed in the stock bullshit nintendo is offering-

Only one not mentioned I can think of is Faria.

I'm just talking about diffx specifically - he's all about piracy.

These prices are a little ridiculous, but that doesn't mean we should just steal them instead.

If you don't mind taking it up the ass by paying $20 for a nearly twenty year-old game, then go for it. Retards like you are Nintendo's bread and butter.

Laptop + NES emulator + 500 free NES games > GBA + 1 $20 NES game

NES games? That's hardly stealing. But I agree with you on games from more recent systems.

The only games on those lists that I would pay $20 dollars for are-

Super Punch Out!
Panic Resturant

And that second one I would be iffy with. NES games are just not worth that much, especially thanks to emulation.

Guardian Legend, Clash at Demonhead, and Conquest of the Crystal Palace.

I'd love to say Golgo 13, but damn has that game not aged well.

indeed. the questions asking "which out of this list would you prefer" makes it sound liek they already started having their minds made up.
