Nintendo to launch Classic NES GBA SP
Nintendo of America will release a limited-edition GBA SP console alongside its upcoming Classic NES series of games.
Nintendo of America has today announced that it will release a limited-edition GBA SP console alongside its Classic NES series of games on June 7. The console, which is expected to carry a suggested retail price of $99, is designed to look like the original 1983 NES controller and seems certain to prove every bit as popular as the Famicom-styled GBA SP consoles already released in Japan.
The Classic NES series of games, which will retail for $19.99 each, will include GBA versions of the following titles:
Donkey Kong
Pac-Man
The Legend of Zelda
Super Mario Bros.
Excitebike
Ice Climber
Xevious
Bomberman
"I mean, Donkey Kong and Pac-Man? These are, like, the best games ever," said Perrin "Mallrat" Kaplan, Nintendo of America's terribly hip vice president of marketing and corporate affairs. "And if you aren't just dying to get your hands on the gnarly new Classic NES Limited Edition GBA SP, you're a total dweeb."
