If this were the case, don't you think they'd show us the results?  As far as I can tell, there's no way to see which option is "winning".

Why must all things be so bright? Why can things not appear only in hues of brown! I am so serious about this! Dull colors are the future! The next generation! I will never accept a world with such bright colors! It is far too childish! I will rage against your cheery palette with my last breath!

A fun poll question would be 'would you rather have a N64, SNES, or NES adaptor for your GCN?'.

The fact that it gives muliple options for price suggests they're actually doing some market research.

Sorry, I'm still not convinced, even if it is research.  Someone at Nintendo might be tinkering with the idea, but I don't think this is confirmation of the product my any means, as some sites have been suggesting.  Heck, this could be research for Revolution backwards compatibility in disguise (is worth an increase of X in price?).

People would complain due to possable slow down/glitches in some games or the control stick being too touchy just like when OOT came with Zelda
you cant make ppl happy these's days
not worth it, its too late in the gamecube's life anyway, picking up a N64 for 10dollars is just a easier way of playing the old games, if you have them laying around.

Is there any real point to making a snes/nes adapter? nintendo is putting all the games on GBA.  Only a 64 adapter would make any sense.

How about those third party games Nintendo doesn't reissue?

"Is there any real point to making a snes/nes adapter? nintendo is putting all the games on GBA."

1. Not all SNES/NES games are re-released including very major titles like Super Metroid.
2. With an adapter you don't have to buy all the games over again.
3. GBA ports are NEVER 100% accurate.  Nintendo in particular has f*cked up all their GBA SNES ports by adding annoying voices, dumbing down the difficulty and just changing all sorts of minor details for no reason.  It's like reissuing a vinyl album on CD but with remixed songs.  Plus the GBA screen size is different and multiplayer requires multiple systems so even if a company tries to make a perfect port they can't.

SMB3 actually felt harder to me, as if they reduced the friction.
