Is Nintendo bringing out anymore Classis NES titles in the US? It would be a shame if games like Kid Icarus, SMB: Lost Levels, and Ghosts and Goblins don't get a release outside of Japan.

I think there was also a GBA version. We do need a Kid Icarus, though.

I am verry happy with pocketNES :) kid icarus has allways been one of my favourites... it was HARD but so fun

I don t want to pay again for nes games i loved on GBA so that s the way i have chosen :) (and anyway all are not in GBA nes collection like snake rattle n roll, totaly rad, kabuki quantum fighter...)

The GBC version of GnG is different than the NES version I think in order to make it closer to the arcade version. The GBA got Super Ghouls n' Ghosts it's incredibly difficult (for me anyway) compared to the SNES version. So if they wanted to release the NES version I'm all for it. Also Kid Icarus is definately a must and to my mind so is Castlevania III its the best "arcade" type of castlevania that was ever made.

I think also a full remake of Castlevania II with improved grafix and longer levels would be great. I like to think of this game as the earliest forerunner of SotN and it would be great to see it remade on a system that could handle that sort of game.

Ugh, hopefully someone knows. The games I listed have already been released for the GBA as part of the Famicom Mini series in Japan. I'm just wondering if they are getting a US release. That's all.

Last I heard, best of Famicom Mini Series 2&3 were getting released as Classic Nes Series 2. Although given the time that has passed, it is probably unlikely now.
