I was also referring(if you read my post) to "Mario PLATFORMING ADVENTURE games" not games with mario characters plastered in them to sell well such as mario party. Another thing about these re-releases is that is just one game one cartridge with no bonuses or extras. Now if nintendo wanted to put 4 or 5 games on one cartridge or GCN disk for 30 bucks, then I would see the advantages there. Look what capcom is doing: 10 mega man games on one disk for thirty bucks which includes 6 NES games, 1 Super NES game, 1 playstation game and 2 arcade games.  And nintendo wants us to pay 17 bucks a pop for just one game? Makes no sense to me.

WallOfDoom, carts are expensive to make, so that's where most of the cost is comming from. Yeah, they could have easily put the whole first series on one cart and slapped a $30 price tag on it, but Nintendo knows people will pay the full $20 for the game. The only downside to our Classic series is that they arn't as collectable as the Famicom Mini series. If we had the same bells and whistles at Japan got, I'd pry pick up the whole line, but as of now I'm only getting Zelda.

I'm torqued right off because Ice Climbers does NOT have a battery save for high scores....  I was gonna be buying them all, now I highly doubt I will be.

First off, Wall, I was responding to your wish for Ninty to "concentrate on some new games for GBA"...Those are all new games, correct?

"I feel compelled to mention that only one of those is a real game."

Say what?  I'd love to hear an explanation on this...

[KDR_11k]

The DS will have two Mario platformers, Mario 64x4 (maybe the same as 64, maybe new levels, since I don't have an N64 I don't care and will buy it regardless) and NEW Super Mario Bros., a sidescroller.

To anyone else with the Ice Climbers cart...

The closing comments in IGN's review go something like this...

"Ice Climber is a great game that holds its own 20 years later, and although it was given away in Animal Crossing and printed on inexpensive playing cards in e-Reader format, the addition of two player support and cartridge high score save is enough to recommend adding the Classic NES Series edition to anyone's classic collection."

It doesn't save my damn high score.... Is my cart defective? or is IGN stupid?  Please answer NOW... =P =P

[Pale]

I retract my comments, Ice Climbers DOES actually have a batter save...you just have to tell it to save.. which i didn't realize.

By holding down L and R at the same time, a menu comes up that has that option.

[KDR_11k]

Did you RTFM this late or was it not in there?

[Pale]

I didn't ever read the manual, I just found it....  Who reads manuals anymore??

=P

[Ian Sane]

"Who reads manuals anymore??"

Smart people who check the manual to find out how to save before freaking out over the lack of a save feature on a forum.

[Bill Aurion]

Ahahaha!

I always read my manuals before I play a game, but that's more from habit than anything...

[KDR_11k]

Most of the time I read them, sometimes it just makes the mandatory tutorial more boring, though...

[Pale]

Yeah yeah, be mean to me...  I don't think it was asking tooo much to assume that the game would automaticaly save high scores like every other game of its type.. I mean honestly, how many times have you had to specifically go into a menu to save your high score?

Well i was at my local gamestop and i buyed the legend of zelda for my gba, but then i started looking thru the gc games and found the zelda collectors edition for 29   bucks. After much thinking (NOT!) remembering the store clerck saying u have 7 days to return it, I return the gba copy,took out the gamestop card and payed like 7 more bucks for 3 more games and some other goodies this gc disc comes with. The disc didnt had any scrach and i think it was barely played, since im a zelda fan i think i got a nice deal, dont u agree?

[ib2kool4u912]

I got an even better deal: Zelda collecter's edition new for $20, and it came with a free Nintendo power subscription

" I didn't ever read the manual, I just found it.... Who reads manuals anymore??"

Took me 20 minutes to figure out how to save in Zelda. By then I just read the manual, and found out that's it's not something most people would think of. You have press press Start, then hold up on the control pad and press Select. When I finally did it, I was like what the hell?

I use pocketNes and take it with me everywhere I go, I have every single NES game worth owning and they're all on one cart, although I did have to get the cart in hong kong....
