Am I an idiot for thinking Nintendo's cashing in on people's desire to play old games instead of delivering new content? Or are the people buying the same game again idiots for giving their money to Nintendo?

Something that didn't come across clearly in that image I made was that Nintendo's double-charging the customer and the customer is happy to pay. Why couldn't Nintendo give us a screen that doesn't suck? Why couldn't they give us a modern handheld instead of this GBA piece of crap that was completed in 1996?

I wanted it to be a wake-up call. "Hey chumps, you already bought this game, and now you're paying again for an inferior version."

And the simple fact is many people ARE buying into this platform (both the GBA + GC w/ player) simply to play their old SNES games again. We've all heard the fanboy rallying cry: The GBA is the last bastion of 2D!

Does it matter to us that most games are rehashes and re-releases? It should.
