Nintendo is bringing its "Famicom Mini" set of Game Boy Advance games to the U.S. as the
Classic NES Series. Each cartridge is an emulated version of an old Nintendo classic, proving once again that you can keep squeezing money out of these old games if they're good enough.
At least five of them were unlockable in
Animal Crossing on the Gamecube, but the only one I'm interested in buying is
The Legend of Zelda. I love that game, and they've done a wonderful job of squeezing it down to the GBA's screen dimensions.
So, let's see... I still have my original NES cartridge, a version unlocked on
Animal Crossing, a version as part of the
Legend of Zelda Collector's Edition Gamecube disc (with
Zelda 2,
Ocarina of Time and
Majora's Mask), a Pocket NES version emulated on my Game Boy Advance ROM flash cart, and a copy on my PDA. I should be shot for even thinking of spending $20 for a Game Boy Advance cartridge. But I'm gonna do it anyway.
