Your hostility towards this system is amazing and puzzling... can you not understand that a lot of people don't have a lot of those games, and won't go buy old consoles when they can get new ones? Sure, this wouldn't have many new games probably, but putting it in a "new package" definitely would open it to a new market... and would make getting games for it very easy if they can get the machines selling games into a lot of stores. Dirt cheap prices for games would help too...
No, I can't see how it would be so stupid for them to release it here. I think there is a fair market for such games, especially at such prices. I also think that if they launch it as a new console while a lot of games would obviously be old ports there would inevitably be some new games also... I very much doubt Nintendo would have a new platform that they intend to complement the GBA and NGC and not make any new games for it! That would be amazingly stupid and wouldn't be something they would do. Not if they want it to succeed. Though as I said, the novelty (for this market anyway) would sell some, as would the game prices...
And who knows, they may launch it with screen and battery add-ons or something.
