Hey! Speaking of which, why not offer pro Wrestling on the VC?! I don't care if it's discounted or not, I'll buy it!

@bahooney now now everybody... I didn't denigrate mister aaronsullivan... I was just commenting on how quickly he has forgotten the magic of the original GBA... In its day. I'm sure he is correct, but there was no other point of reference "back in the day" (excuse the parlance). My current HD TV is way better than my old Sanyo black and white tv console in '84! That's not really saying much... Technology moves forward, not much we can (or should, for that matter) do about it, but let's not forget the days of old, when the technology of the day was moving in leaps and bounds to give us what we have today! (Like for some weird reason, GBA Games - in their original definition - in HD being a big deal).
Oh, and @sketchturner awesome idea... Kinda like Zelda got its own design!

@aaronsullivan really? You're going to bad mouth technology that is nearly 15 years old? I'm sure when you bought your first GBA, your first words were not "what a POS! This screen sucks! Why did I ever spend my money on this?" You sound like those 9 year olds at the mall: " ugh... MOM! Why don't we have the NEW samsung (whatever the hell)?! This is last years model..." The GBA was the only REAL choice for portable gaming, there was no other tech quite as appealing... Think iPhones when first released.

Absolutely loved the original Pro Wrestling on NES! Damn shame passing away so young... RIP. I can honestly attribute some of my favorite family moments playing your game.

@MEGAMAN_D and notice no one else spoke up? You know why that is right? 'Cause if you can't say nothing nice, don't say nothin' at all... but I bet there are aspects of your job you dislike, true?

@bofis damn... Don't read the bible then.

This article is a joke, right? I mean, these are the same people that didn't care to work with the gamepad, and that was established technology! This would mean starting from scratch and taking a big financial risk. Two things EA is not known for, (Not verbatim, but it is what they have been stating since their exclusion of their Wii U support, To be kind)...they will probably last as long as their support for Wii U.

Really?! Now we're going to post angry disgruntled twitters by angry employees? This is not news or informative, lots of people hate their boss/company they work (or worked) for. This dude should just get over it! I am sure if we all got together we could come up with something to complain about at work. In his case, he has soooooo much money from his awful, awful job, that never did a thing for him ('cept feed his family and give him a nice sized savings to boot!) that he could quit and start his own company.... You know what I say in that situation? Thank you EA for taking care of me! 'Nuff Said.

@Monkeh three of those games are nintendo exclusive... What, are you pirating titles?!

@CasuallyDressed yeah, which sucks seeing as this was their second to last exclusive with Nintendo

@grimbldoo seriously broke at the time (unemployed for nearly 5 years) so I panicked and tried to make some money off the IDEA they were collectible... Like you said, collectibles are for collecting. The only value they truly have, is the one the collector gives it (FYI: many of my collectibles are stuff I had collected through my school years - 80's thru 90's, they're nice, just not worth much in the open market)

@BlackStar9000 really? Collectors? Once we're old, these things will have very little value (as they were so poular that quite a few copies do exist) this is not some rare gem... It is a game that was passed over by many, not all. I have tons of "collectible" crap... I tried selling some of it once, dissappointing to say the least. Thanks ebay for killing collectibles

@Metal_Slugger that was already debunked... This time there will be no such thing

@JohnRedcorn hence the high price and limited availability.... And as a side note I love golf (virtual or real) and I would buy this bag. It would be an excellent icebreaker... Golfers are not the serious lot they show on TV

@5ony seriously?! Have you seen other golfers? They're just missing pocket protectors... Trust me, the way they dress, they won't be judging anyone, anytime soon

@rjejr well stated...

@Daisaku36 that statement was nonsensical... Seriously? Even things that are subjective? No. 'Nuff said.

_{If you don't like his posts, ignore him. Playing out your personal battle here will only end in a ban-- TBD}

@XCWarrior doode... From what I've seen and heard... Orochi was a terrible game, perhaps that's why there's no one online playing

@hamae ahem.... As a citizen of one of the many countries that supply weapons to those countries, I can honestly state that not a single important person (that could make a change) would do a thing about it. Weapons are big business, look at all the military games that are successful.

@ThumperUK really, apple hate when they're turning around? Why don't you research (not just google the first three thinks you see) e-waste? You will see that as first world societies, we create disasters in third world countries. This has been happening far longer than apple has been a major player in the electronics biz...in those videos you will see young boys, pregnant mothers and the elderly, awash in lethal chemicals trying to strip the precious metals off circuit boards and the like. Save your hate... There are bigger fish out there (and many a time we are enabling them). 'Nuff said.

@TDS_Computer sorry, hot cakes don't do too well these days... Just ask IHOP (International house of Pancakes! They just got all 50 states, how they're international is beyond me) they have closed down quite a few in the past two decades or so... But really? Minecraft? That game is free or cheap, isn't it? Why buy a console when you can borrow your parents iPhone?

@andrea987 LOVED Endless Ocean! THAT needs an HD release... I know I'm always spouting about NEW games. For the Wii U, but I feel that there are so many possibilities to show off the Wii U and it's graphical power with this series.

@Stu13 hehehe... Animal xing... "For the birds" that was great! I like how you did that....

@MAB well heck! When is this happening?! I NEED this!
I really wish there was a better way to convey sarcasm via text...

@MAB I really thought you were gonna say 9$ (earthbound-style) since they are so hard to get on a smartphone (they should price it accordingly, not just anyone has access to Spelunker on the phone) sorry, just having fun with this...

@MAB see... Right there! That would help ruin reputation... JK

@JohnRedcorn not true... Only 3 games like that from their catalog. also, they make games exclusively for nintendo, we ought to support them (as long as it's not double dipping... ) not like many folk are nintendo friendly these days

@KnightRider666 @MadAdam81 had no idea it was a good game! Going right after work!

@rjejr hey! That movie wasn't that ba..... Wait it's the one with Matthew Broderick? Naw, you're right. although the new one looks cool!

@LeasTwanteD yup. That trailer does nothing for me... And I liked the OG Moon on DS!

@unrandomsam you know it's never gonna be that way... if so, Watchdogs would cost 185$ a disc while VC titles would go for either .99¢ or possibly free! We can all dream can't we?

@El_Scorpio again with the calls for retail release... So ii take it that you have no apps on your smartphone then? No retail release there...

@unrandomsam hmm... What did those games COST to develop and produce? I highly doubt this game had a budget that ran into the millions.

@FishieFish why does everyone want a retail release? Haven't we all seen the future with app stores and the like across all platforms? The days of retail copies is coming to an end. Mark my words, as production of physical discs becomes a burden on companies, they will go up in cost, while digital copies go down ( or realistically stay the same)...

@KnightRider666 @Spoony_Tech @Captain_Gonru thanks all! I'm gonna try it out! (50¢ at my local used game shop)

The game was on sale on amazon a while back with the blue Wiimote... 40$ sounds pricey, but after looking at prices, I figure I got the game for free that trick doesn't work if you don't need an additional Wiimote ( I only ever got 3 for my Wii )

@Ren no freakin' code! I want one like I've seen on my buddy's ps... Just an account name.

@tripunktoj ahh... Good old TVii. Not really useful in this age of non cable television might be good to add some real functionality to it.

@Light Say what? You cannot play Wii mode games without classic controller?

I voted first!

@Lord looks like a lot of nothing!
on another note: wow! How times have changed... Back in my day, Easter was all about church and eggs!

@Lance168 or simply well timed...nintendo just bought back a bunch of stock. That means less to payout to shareholders, thus keeping more money for nintendo. Also, I wonder what the competing consoles will be releasing at that time?

@hwrose379 then you will just have to have very happy un-birthday! woo-hoo May!! If they don't have stoopid friend codes, I think it would be awesome that they create "groups" so let's say everyone on the NL site can sign up and we can all play together, regardless of what time zone you're in!

@rjejr thank you! I'm relatively new (since I got my Wii U last., what last may?)! But this is good to know! (I've always wanted to know)

@ThomasBW84 see!? This is why I love Nintendo Life! Thanks Thomas!

Does anyone know (or bother to look up) what integrated hardware/software solution is? Think of an iPad being able to sync its info to both your imac and iPhone ... That's all. I think that's where they're going... It has become a very popular refrain from many companies (qol/integrated he/sw solutions) including Microsoft, Samsung, Sony and yes, even amazon (kindle), although I'm not sure how theirs works.

@8bitforever sorry to hear... But their stock climbed. So now you gonna buy their platform? See how silly that sounds... How does a companies stock affect whether or not the game is any good?

@boynerdrambling preach on! yup. That's gamers for you!

@MrCharles77 I'm there with you, I love my Wii U, but WTF! A good number of games are getting delayed (pick your console!) Nintendo Direct? Come on, a good 20% (maybe more, work has kept me from really keeping up) of the titles mentioned are either delayed or TBA status.... Another Nintendo Direct with empty promises I'll pass.
