Which 8-bit nes game would you like to see Nintendo re-port to the gba sp...From what I have heard, Nintendo is porting Super Mario Bros. the lost worlds, a title that aside from being on super mario all-stars, has only been available in Japan, where it was called Super Mario Bros. 2....

Or are you tired of Nintendo doing the same reporting ofold nes games, and want them to kame more innovative games. Or should they drop the gba sp and focus on the ds...

Nintendo should focus on making new games.

I want dusty diamonds all star softball, RBI baseball, or the original baseball stars. Those are the three best sports games ever created.Also the tecmo bowl games.

One NES game I would love to see on GBA is Metal Storm. It had some really impressive animation for an NES game, and I think it would feel right at home on GBA. Hell, they could redo the sprites and release it as a new game, and I bet few people would be the wiser.

none.

20$-30$ for a release of a single ~20 year old game. i would rather spend the money (and did) on getting an nes, a new 72 pin connector and buy the games to play them on the hardware they were intended to be played off of.

Interesting that you mentioned Gyromite. I haven't done this, but I was researching on the net, and back in the day, Nintendo had a shortage of certain chips early on, so they used famicom chips distingushed by heavier than usual carts. And one can hack up the famicom chip to play import games on the nes...Very Nice!

What I would like to see is a remake of the Dragon Warrior games 1-6 seeing how we still haven't seen 5 or 6 come out here in the U.S. That would make me want to buy a DS just for that. I highly doubt this will happen tho..

This is true. I have opened and retrieved 3 gyromite famicom-->NES converters. I hear they were also in some excite bike carts. I only open gyromite though.

As I said in many other forums before, there's a reason why Nintendo is porting its old games to the GBA. Can you guess a possible reason? I can.

Nintendo has figured out that people still enjoy playing old games, but on newer systems. Now, what on Earth gave them that idea?

If you were in Nintendo's....uhh shoes, you would've done the same thing.

If they were $10 each, or included say 5 or 6 games per cart they'd be worth it.

Caboose · Post by **Caboose** » Mon Feb 14, 2005 8:01 pm

for $10 with 3 games even i would buy it. i Don't play My GBA enough.

Hell yeah. And what about them releasing Metroid for a 2nd time on the GBA. They had it as an easily unlockable goodie on Zero Mission, and then by itself.

But Nintendo has rebadged thos eold mario nes games more times than I care to count...and don't u think that Nintendo is alienating those gamers who wany something new and innovative...IMO, it seems that the only purpose the sp has served has been for Nintendo to re-port old nes games until the ds launched....

Games I would love to have ported on my GBA (if they would lower the price. $20 is ridiculous):

Contra
Jackal
Mike Tyson's Punchout
Metal Gear

Potential of any of them seeing a re-release=0%

DCFan2004 · Post by **DCFan2004** » Mon Feb 14, 2005 11:27 pm

Contra
Punchout (either version doesn't matter)
Baseball Stars
Ninja Gaiden series

Nintendo are re-releasing games because they can make, *gasp*, a profit! They found a highly profitable niche and they are going to keep at it until the consumers stop buying the games. It's simple supply and demand folks, they are going to charge what people will pay for the game and not a penny less.

I just want them to make a new Super Dodgeball game for the next system. The original was the best game on the NES and with today systems they could make a killer game. Unless they cheap out and don't go online multiplayer with it.
