Nintendo Launches Classic NES Games for Game Boy Advance SP - HOT!Posted on Monday, March 29, 2004 @ 06:34:44 pm E.S.T
Wait `til you hear! On June 7,
Nintendo is going totally retro with a classic collection of eight
Nintendo Entertainment System (NES)(R) games for the Game Boy(R)
Advance and a tubular new Game Boy(R) Advance SP that looks like an
itty bitty NES console. The `80s were, like, a long time ago. But
everything from then is way cool again. Back then, games went from
blocky bleeps and bloops to sweet side-scrollers like Super Mario
Bros.(R) And the most excellent NES saved the day for the video game
industry. Bonus!
"I mean, Donkey Kong and Pac-Man? These are, like, the best games
ever," says Perrin "Mallrat" Kaplan, Nintendo of America's vice
president, marketing and corporate affairs. "And if you aren't just
dying to get your hands on the gnarly new Classic NES Limited Edition
GBA SP, you're a total dweeb."
OK, so let's break it down: The bodacious new Game Boy Advance SP
has the same guts and everything as a regular one, but its casing
looks just like the NES. And it's still at an MSRP of $99.99. Be sure
to get to the mall, like, really early, because it's a "limited
edition."
The Classic NES Series, which you totally have to get, includes
all the hottest retro games, each one at an MSRP of $19.99. Check it
out:
- Donkey Kong: The best game featuring a plumber rescuing a
princess from a big ape pretty much ever.
- Pac-Man: Hel-lo? If you don't know this game then where have
you been?
- The Legend of Zelda: Dude! How classic can you get? The
righteous Link whips Ganon and saves Zelda. Link rules!
- Super Mario Bros.: There are pipes and coins and these grody
goombas and you just stomp away.
- Excitebike: It's a rad motocross racing game that lets you rip
around a track and kick up dirt and stuff.
- Ice Climber: Like, duh. You climb the ice and whack monsters.
- Xevious: Go to space and shoot stuff with your wicked
spaceship.
- Bomberman: Drop bombs on the baddies.
