Not for 9 dollars a game. No thanks.

LAWSON723673d ago (Edited 3673d ago )

Is a bit pricey, I could understand if it took a huge effort to release the game on the system, but I doubt it. It would not kill or hurt them to price them at $5, if anything it would lead to a lot more sales.

To be fair Sony and MS overcharge for Xbox, PS1 and PS2 games, not saying that means it is okay but they are not the first to price old games at high prices

Drithe3673d ago

5.99 for a ps1 game is pricey too. But I can live with that. I could live with 5.99 for these GBA games.

Realplaya3673d ago

Where did you get $9.00 from?

ChickeyCantor3673d ago (Edited 3673d ago )

Nintendo releases every game with its own emulator. Which seems just absolutely bonkers.

They probably do this so the game works with the specific sets it was intended to work with.

I can see how they charge money for this, but still ridiculous considering the fact they just need one emulator and just optimize that one.

Other than that they probably need to put the game trough other processes ( like rating the game etc )

vakarian753673d ago

Most of the ps1 games are $9.99 on psn so if people are willing to by those they shouldn't care about the price of the GBA games.

It's Time for a New Golden Sun

Alex DS. from Link Cable Gaming writes: "The franchise celebrated its 20th anniversary yesterday without a peep from Nintendo and that’s a real shame because despite only being three games deep, this is one of the best-received RPG series out there. In short, it’s time for a new Golden Sun."

Yea good luck. Put this in the pile with f-zero, kid Icarus, wario land, etc. and label it the "wt are you waiting for" pile

PrimeVinister989d ago (Edited 989d ago )

I would love to play a new Wario Land but it will never happen 😭😭😭

Tanoriss989d ago

hah, seriously, they are sitting on a goldmine of IP's that they dont want to do anything with.

This has been overdue since the gamecube era

Golden Sun is a fantastic series. They should really continue it.
To say I miss Advanced Wars would be an understatement. Two of my top favorite series of the GBA.

Asuka1525d ago

My God I need more Advanced Wars in my life...

Knushwood Butt1525d ago

Advance Wars used to be portable gaming heaven for me. Great games.

BlackIceJoe1525d ago

I'd love to see a return of StarTropics. I don't think it will happen, but I'd welcome it.

addictedtochaos1525d ago

Agreed. They have a deep catalog of dormant IPs that they could reinvent for the Switch.

porkChop1525d ago

Where the hell is Golden Sun? It's been 10 years. All Camelot's been doing are Mario sports games.

Banjo-Kazooie isn't a Nintendo franchise anymore

Conker was never a Nintendo, especially since non of its game were even published by Nintendo

Sciurus_vulgaris1656d ago

Nintendo never owned Rare or the original IPs that the studio created during the N64-era. I can’t believe the author lists Conker and Banjo-Kazooie as Nintendo franchise, despite both series having releases and re-releases on Xbox consoles.

Neonridr1656d ago

Nintendo owned 49% of Rare at one point. Rare was a second party developer up until Nintendo sold their stake to Microsoft.

RizBiz1656d ago

I don't think the author ever said first-party titles. A game that only appears on one console can be considered a franchise of that console.

PhoenixUp1656d ago (Edited 1656d ago )

Not true

On the back of the Diddy Kong Racing box art, this was written

"Trademark of Nintendo, Diddy Kong, Banjo and Krunch characters licensed by Nintendo"

Meaning Nintendo licensed those characters to Rare. Note how Conker isn’t among the listed

wheresmymonkey1656d ago

No that means Nintendo licensed those characters, meaning they paid Rare for their use. Conker wasn't in Diddy Kong Racing and they never owned any of them.

Sciurus_vulgaris1656d ago

Nintendo licensed Duffy Kong, Banjo and Krunch from Rare.

PhoenixUp1656d ago

@ where

There’s already proof that Nintendo at a point owned the Banjo-Kazooie franchise

http://trademarks.justia.co...

Trademark History:

Nintendo of America Inc - Original Registrant
Nintendo of America Inc - Owner at Publication
Nintendo of America Inc - Original Applicant

Conker debuted in Diddy Kong Racing alongside Banjo

FallenAngel19841656d ago

@ Sci

That doesn’t make sense. If Rare owned those characters mentioned in the trademark then there’d be no need to specifically mention just those three in particular as being licensed by Nintendo

Relientk771656d ago

Still waiting for Golden Sun.

RizBiz1656d ago

I'd really love another Conker, but not as long as M$ owns the IP.

wheresmymonkey1656d ago

I think the writer might want to look up Double Dragon Neon.
