Retro Buddy Icons (And rant)

[ Classic NES ]

OK, these are cute and all, but are any of these games worth it? Did anyone really get into Bomber Man? The Donkey Kong is still the old NES version with no pie factory... Excite Bike, maybe. Ice Climbers? Must have been a bigger hit in Japan, I never played it. Plus the E-Reader version is only $8. Pac Man? Might was well get the Namco TV Game version for the same price. Super Mario Bros? Perhaps, I don't remember this being a freebie anywhere else. Xevious? Now that might be doable, but I'm sure I remember it being more fun than it actually is. Zelda? Got that one for free a couple times over, I'm sure. Though portable, all by itself.

I think what I'd like to see is a Metroid: Zero Mission style makeover of a few of these. Update the graphics, sound, add a few surprises, extend the game. Now that'd be sweet. 16 levels of “I'm sorry, the princess is in the next next castle...”
