Classic NES Series Vol. 2+ - A Black Falcon - 13th August 2004
Four announced titles.
Quote: * The Legend of Zelda II: The Adventure of Link
* Dr. Mario
* Metroid
* Castlevania
Note the conspicuous absence of Kid Icarus... heck, of plenty of games. The Japanese have gotten two sets of 10 games and have a third set of 10 coming soon. We got 8 and are getting four more. Great.

How stupid. Full versions of Dr. Mario and Metroid are unlockable in Wario Ware and Zero Mission, respectively.
Classic NES Series Vol. 2+ - A Black Falcon - 13th August 2004
I know, these are popular games, but two are already available and a lot of titles people would love to see aren't here... what are they thinking?
Classic NES Series Vol. 2+ - OB1 - 13th August 2004
$$$
Classic NES Series Vol. 2+ - A Black Falcon - 13th August 2004
But wouldn't releasing a few more games make even MORE money?
Classic NES Series Vol. 2+ - OB1 - 13th August 2004
Wouldn't releasing Four Swords with an online mode have made the game sell better than it did (which was very little for a Zelda title)?
Classic NES Series Vol. 2+ - A Black Falcon - 13th August 2004
I think we know the answers to these questions.
Classic NES Series Vol. 2+ - OB1 - 13th August 2004
If only Nintendo did as well. :screwy:
It's their retarded logic at work. While it's true that they wouldn't be profiting from the actual online service of games like Four Swords, they would however certainly sell many more copies than a measly 150,000 in June. If a crappy game like PSO can sell extremely well based on the online function alone, imagine how well something great like FS would sell.
Classic NES Series Vol. 2+ - A Black Falcon - 14th August 2004
I know that and you know that and most Nintendo fans I've seen on the internet know that, and good sales of games like PSO should help show that, but Nintendo not only doesn't get the message, but they manage to find statistics for some stupid PS2 online golf game that sold under expectations and use it as proof that online gaming's sales impact is overrated... either they are all certificably insane or something is very wrong over there.
What I'd like to know is what NOA people REALLY think about this. I mean they can't say anything other than company line officially, but I'd think some of them would be pretty annoyed with NCL's position here...

Shouldn't this be called "Volume 2 -" instead?
Classic NES Series Vol. 2+ - A Black Falcon - 14th August 2004
The + is a mistake, not a purposeful addition to the thread name. :)
Classic NES Series Vol. 2+ - OB1 - 15th August 2004
NOA is under the control of NCL, so there's nothing they can do.
Classic NES Series Vol. 2+ - A Black Falcon - 15th August 2004
I know, and as I said that must frusterate some of them... witness how ... who is it, Ken Lobb? Or was it Peter Main... went to Microsoft to work on X-Box stuff...
Classic NES Series Vol. 2+ - Great Rumbler - 15th August 2004
It was Ken Lobb.
Classic NES Series Vol. 2+ - A Black Falcon - 15th August 2004
Right. Peter Main left too, but I forget where he went... Howard Lincoln of course went to lead the Mariners front office.
Classic NES Series Vol. 2+ - Great Rumbler - 16th August 2004
Didn't Peter Main go to Sega?
Classic NES Series Vol. 2+ - A Black Falcon - 16th August 2004
Maybe...
Classic NES Series Vol. 2+ - OB1 - 16th August 2004
When did Peter Main work for Nintendo? I only remember him working for Sega, not Nintendo.
Classic NES Series Vol. 2+ - Great Rumbler - 16th August 2004
Actually, Peter Main DID work for Nintendo. He didn't go to another company though, he retired.
Classic NES Series Vol. 2+ - A Black Falcon - 16th August 2004
There was a different person who worked for Sega though... what was his name...
Classic NES Series Vol. 2+ - Great Rumbler - 16th August 2004
Peter Moore. He left Sega to join Microsoft.
