So..why doesn't Nintendo do Comp Discs?
 

I picked THIS up today, and it got me to thinking..

Why doesn't Nintendo take it's old licenses and do this?

For $40, slap the old Mario games together, and release em on the Cube.

I would pay for an updated version of Mario All Stars

I think because they would rather release them one at a time on GBA and make more money.

This is a good thing in a way, because I think fans of the GBA appreciate having the titles probibly more so then a normal "console" only gamer would.

Yep, Jeff hit the nail on the head.

Why put out a $40 comp disc, when they can sell them for $30 a piece on the GBA and also take advantages of the GBA's larger user base.

Tis a shame really...the Sonic Collection is great

Wow, I would LOVE to get this on my Xbox...

Get what? The fictional mario colection? Or the sonic collection?

I actually kind of prefer playing the old games on the GBA. I feel like I'm wasting my time playing something like 10 year old sonic games on my GC when I could be playing something like Metroid Prime.

I just wish they'd have put out Mario All Stars on GBA instead of gorging us one game at a time.

I just want the NES Zeldas.

"Zelda" singular form. ;) Otherwise ditto.

Why no Sonic CD though? :mad: The tetris rip off gets in but they pass on Sonic CD? I know Ill get it anyway (Segas bitch and all) but still. Why leave off just one of the series?

That I don't know.

Jolt : You will not be disappointed.

As for the Sonic CD thing, I have no idea. Does Sega even acknowledge that system?

I still have my Genesis hooked up in my game room upstairs. So I can basically play any of them right now. The one I cant play is Sonic CD.
But the extras, the art and the commercial clips will reel me in. Ive come to terms with my Sega addiction. ;)

:)

Definately a worthwhile purchase then.

You should also know, there are ways to unlock

Knuckles as a usable characterin Sonic 2 and Sonic 3
Ristar
Blue Sphere
Flicky

Tons of museum stuff, a trailer, etc.

Damn Gamecube. :)
