If you have a Gameboy Advance, then this article might interest you. It seems that Nintendo is releasing a game pack for the GBA that will resurrect some of the old favorites, to include: "Donkey Kong," "Super Mario Bros.," "Pac-Man," "The Legend of Zelda," "Excitebike," "Ice Climber," "Xevious" and "Bomberman."

Sure wish I had a GBA... :(

ooh, I have a GBA!!! I'll definetly be buying Donkey Kong, Xevious and Mario! Even though I play them using emulation, sometimes I like to have the real thing. :)

Shakey if you ever visit Australia you can borrow my GBA :lol:

I got myself a GBA SP a couple months ago... great to have when you're on the go and wanna play a quick game here and there :D I've been all over Super Mario Advance 4 lately. Emulations nice... even have the original Zelda on the GCN Zelda Collection disc, but I'll probably get this GBA version too :lol:

This little part of the article was great to read as an 80s fan :)

"It's easy to see why Nintendo is throwing its own "I Love the `80s" party. "The whole retro movement is huge right now," says Perrin Kaplan, Nintendo's vice president of marketing and corporate affairs. From clothes to music to video games, Kaplan says '80s-related items are being devoured by teens and those of us who were teens in that era." :verycool:

Yeah, that part jumped out at me as well. I love the 80's :thumb:

I have a Gameboy color. May have to look into an upgrade. Ooh! Wait! Almost forgot. Does anyone know if Gameboy Advance games will play on the adapter for the Gamecube? Cause I have it! That would be AWESOME!. Getting to play those games on the big screen. :)

Of course! I don't have it, so I can't say that I've tried it, but I saw pics of the GBA games in action on the gameboy player in an ad that came with my GBA SP, so I'd say it's a very safe bet it'll work like a charm ;)

Sweet! Thanks, think I might just give it a try when it gets released.

Just as an upadte, it seems that several of these are available at EB. Here is a link to what is available - Classic NES Series (http://www.ebgames.com/ebx/categories/products/deptpage.asp?wherefrom=search&searchword=Classic%20NES%20Series). Think I may get the Zelda game.

I got Zelda today when I got Four Swords :) I can't just walk by a Zelda game I don't have in a store and not grab it... not happenin... :lol: Even though I already got the classic Zelda on the GCN Zelda collectors edition disc, won't hurt to have another to bring around with me :p

The only other ones I saw out were Donkey Kong, Ice Climber, Bomberman and Pacman. I woulda got Mario... didn't see it :p

That's on the collectors disc? :eek: Crud! I have had that disc laying around for months and never knew it... :rolleyes: Thanks. :p

Yeah... the one in the silver box that came out somewhat recently. It has Zelda I, Zelda II, Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask on it :cool:

Oh, maybe I am thinking of the bonus disc that came with "The Wind Waker"...

Nah... not that one... this one:
