NeoGeoMan, you're an idiot for assuming that a human being would spend 250 dollars SOLELY for the purpose of playing SNES ports.

I dunno why you're so hostile, but maybe if you settled down a moment we can discuss the issue at hand. Maybe I'm not making myself clear: my point is not only that Nintendo isn't doing us any favours with this new hardware but that a lot of people are blinded by the gadget factor. The simple fact is some 95% of the time a GBA Player + GC can only be used to play SNES (or other lesser Nintendo console) rehashes, because that's all the GBA library offers. Most people who see the image I put together say "Wow, you're right, I have a SNES in the closet and the local pawn shop has all these games for $2-5 each."

And you're also making the moronic assumption that only adults are buying these SNES re-releases. What about the kids who weren't old enough to own a SNES in it's heyday, or never had the opportunity to purchase these games in their original incarnations?

Yeah, you're totally right, classic games never die. For the most part neither does SNES hardware, and I'm not sure why you're so adamantly opposed to my suggestion that people can get better cheaper games?

What about those of us who no longer have copies of these older games, or never owned copies of the games <snip> and don't want to use EBay, or hunt a copy down through other means?
|
Yeah, far be it from me to suggest people can save $30+ every time they feel the urge to play a game that's been out for up to ten years. What was I thinking?

You make the infantile assumption that the only people purchasing these games are fanboys buying them because of some lame-ass gimmick.

Perhaps you're reading too much into this. Do you want to go grind your axe and maybe come back and start over? Whatever agenda you're following doesn't seem to have anything to do with me. All I said was "Hey, look at this, you might have overlooked the fact that all these new games are, <gasp><shock> old games re-released with lower resolution and require hardware that's twelve times more expensive than necessary." I didn't say people were stupid for doing it, I didn't say you shouldn't get the GC + player, I never said anything disparaging whatsoever about the people who DO do it. My criticism was aimed at the people who are selling it, that seems clear enough to me.

You've completely ignored a host of alternative reasons for spending money on these products all so you can preach to a bunch of nerds like some pasty, pudgy, bitter, internet geek-messiah.

It's a single image, how much should I have put into it? It's already too wordy, you want it should have been double the size and loaded with disclaimers and clarifications, addendums and rebuttals?
