E-reader PATTERN

That's okay. A company re-releasing 15-20-yr-old games at brand-new prices *is* a negative idea.

It's clear to me that this E-Reader card deal is Nintendo milking the game public for money in exchange for 15-20 year old games.

 

Don't look now, but that's the exact same reason half of their GBA library exists! They're already milking the public with all the Super Mario Advance games that we already own. They're not the only ones either... Capcom has released stuff like Final Fight One, Ghouls 'n' Ghosts, Megaman & Bass, and a couple of Street Fighter games.

 

Companies must love this machine... all they have to do is port a SNES game (which probably takes about a weekend) and people will buy it because hey, it's classic, and it's now portable.

...

To be fair, Megaman and Bass had no US release, so as far as most of America is concerned it's a new game.

 

On top of that, a lot of GBA owners never owned an SNES.

True enough... but it's still like printing money for Capcom. Aside from the gallery (which I'm assuming wasn't in the SFC version), the game is a straight port.

Also true... but I'm certainly glad to know that I can get essentially the same game for $10 (if not less) and play it on my $5 SNES (I got lucky with that price) with better controls, and easier two-player mode.
