Well, no offense to older GBA players out there, but honestly if there is one system Nintendo makes which truly is more for kids than older gamers, its the Gameboy. I'm 35 and I LOOOOVE the Gamecube, but my 9 year old spends a lot of time playing with the GBA. I tried, I really did. And of course VBA emulates the dern thing pretty well. But for those who have kids and aren't into the emulation thing, I think it's great that they get a chance to "share" the experience of their old favorite games with their kids. All these Mario games we're talking about came out on the SNES when I was already a college grad, but for my kid they're totally new. (Well almost .. if it weren't for ZSNES:blush: )
So, they're remakes to us, but theyre still great games that tons and tons of today's kids never got to play. The GBA has plety of life left in it, so I guess the remakes are ok with me. And it aint just Nintendo doing it, anyway. Have you seen the Rockman/Megaman games for GBA?
