Looks nice, but I still would like to have one of those Famicom themed SPs more. I mean, I love my old NES and all, but those Famicom systems were classic cheese to the max, whereas NES is just classic cheese to the extreme, and extreme is 1990's, not 1980's like "to the max" is. You can see which one wins the prize.
Anyway, reading about those old straight NES ports makes me grr angry. I mean, we already have Super Mario Bros DX and Super Mario All-Stars SMB. This is basically saying "we are requiring you to get a system more powerful than the Super Nintendo just to play something the Gameboy Color is not only capable of, but already did and improved upon". One thing, they put the multiplayer alternating back in, which is what I wanted them to do with Super Mario Advance 4 (and 2 come to think of it), since alternating is nice, and especially nice when the computer remembers all the details of the two players. As IGN said, at least it's there so you know they updated the emulator software they are using to support it. I guess that bodes well for the NES/Famicom games we'll find in Animal Crossing 2. Zelda seems interesting, but after finding out they were lazy and took out the ability to instantly quit any time from the original Metroid, as opposed to simply remapping the controller 2 buttons that did that to some other button on the SP, I have a feeling I won't be able to save and quit and have to go through the entire game without saving if I want a no death game. Maybe anyway, then again maybe they did remap it for the Zelda port. Eh, who am I kidding? I'm not buying that game :D.
Really, sure the price is a LITTLE lower, but they should have just packed all those games together. Read that quote from NOA and tell me they aren't insulting our intelligence.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
