Oh...my....god!
The NES game is one of my favorites of all time. I found the GBA one to be fun, but a step back in most ways in terms of what made the original so great (part of which was the non-PC approach to the title, such as killing people in-game and hitting people enough times in the head to where it appears to cause brain damage as they start to hunch and laugh after awhile).
Anyway, I will be getting this game the day it launches, as just the words "similar to the old version" is making me giddy like a school girl.
