In Volume 2 of the series, players will be able to snag perfect NES versions of Dr. Mario, Metroid, The Legend of Zelda II: Adventures of Link, and Castlevania.

Planned release date is October 25th.

Now it's possible these aren't the only games for volume 2, but these are the only games listed in the article.

 

[6.8]

And 2 of them, I can already play in two of the platform's better games. GJ.

 

[belgurdo]

Weak. I want to play Detective Club, not stuff that's already been rereleased not even two years ago

 

[RevenantKioku]

Fucking release Simon's Quest. DO IT.

 

[Kobun Heat]

With any luck that's just a partial list. Also with any luck Metroid and Castlevania will include the save system from the FDS versions. HAHAHAH YEAH RIGHT WHOO HAD MYSELF GOING THERE

 

[NotMSRP]

Which of the volume 1 series are perfect ports?

 

[jarrod]

Booo!! Guess all those unsold copies of Bomberman, Xevious and ExciteBike made Nintendo cut back.... but I still want Kid Icarus!

Were there really a lot of unsold copies? I figured they just released them in smaller quantities.

Of Bomberman, Xevious and Excite Bike. I've been selling the others personally.

 

[zmet]

WTF? No Adventure Island or Ghost & Goblins in vol. 2?

 

[clipunderground]

fuck that, what about blaster master and bionic commando?!!!!

 

[Panajev2001a]

Castlevania ?

Ok I can buy that. Never played it before.

 

[radcliff]

Figures, those were the 2 I wanted. I already have the others for my NES

 

[SantaC]

I want Faxandu and RC Pro am racing

 

[Wario64]

Isn't Castlevania/Metroid part of Famicom Mini 3? Those games have already been dumped too...

 

[explodet]

Famicom Mini was released yesterday in Japan. Only one of them didn't make the top ten for that day.

 

[djtiesto]

I thought I was the only one who wanted a new Faxanadu. And a new Legacy of the Wizard... Falcom can have my babies

 

[darscot]

Faxandu rocked and RC Pro Am started it all for Rare.

 

[evilromero]

Well damn. This is a major letdown. Nintendo is just going to skip on most of the Series 2 and add in a few from the Disk collection? Whatever. The only one I'll be buying here is Castlevania.

 

[siamesedreamer]

Wait a minute. Isn't Metroid on Zero Mission after you beat it?

 

[jenov4]

Wait a minute. Isn't Metroid on Zero Mission after you beat it?

Yes! And Dr. Mario is part of the Wario Ware unlockable.

 

[rawk]

The Wario Ware unlockable is Dr. Wario, a Dr. Mario clone. You can get what is pretty much an exact port of Dr. Mario on the Gamecube Preview disc from last summer, though.

 

[Greekboy]

Castlevania ?

Ok I can buy that. Never played it before.

Awesome game.

 

[jarrod]

Well, it's nice that Dr Mario will now have wireless multiplayer and single cart play anyway.

 

[Zenny]

Seems like a cop out.

They're only releasing the same Japanese roms that were localized for western markets.

 

[Doth Togo]

Golgo-13, fucktards! Get it right.

Make this game...or...

SKATE OR DIE!

 

[Mrbob]

Nintendo always is one for confusion.

3/4 of this list are games you can find as extras included with other games. I may buy Castlevania though....

 

[Swordian]

No, they're only releasing a few of the same Japanese roms that were localized for western markets. Where's my Kid Icarus?

 

[Dan]

Balloon Fight and Kid Icarus were the ones I really wanted. I have Dr. Mario for the GB and on Wario Ware, I have Metroid on Metroid: Zero Mission and I have Zelda II on the GameCube bonus disc. I might check out Castlevania though, that's a definite possibility.

 

[Xellos]

I wish they would re-release less common games.

 

[jarrod]

I'll oly be picking up Castlevania and Zelda II, given I've already got the others on GBA in some form. Kid Icarus, Adventure Island and maybe a few JP only games (Mario 2, Goemon and Nazo no Murasame specifically) would've been nice though.... hopefully NOA's planning a "Classic NES Series 3" next spring...

 

[ferricide]

dr. mario is complete shit.

 

[MoxManiac]

This fucking sucks. The only game I wanted was Adventure Island. Nintendo can go to hell.

so import it? not much of a language barrier there.

 

[MattCoz]

NO KID ICARUS?!!

Btw, releasing Metroid is pretty stupid, it already comes with Zero Mission for only $10 more.

 

[IJoel]

You price gouging bastards!

RELEASE KID ICARUS!

 

[Blackace]

it is Zero Mission!!

 

[GDJustin]

RC PRO AM DAMMIT!!

 

[MetatronM]

I'll be getting Castlevania.

You guys could just import Kid Icarus, you know. Sure it will be a little more expensive, but not by nearly as much as other import GBA games.

I got it for my birthday!!! take about a serious flash back.... 5 in the morning summer break (from my work got it) and playing castlevania... brings me right back to 1987

 

[jarrod]

...hopefully there'll be a Series 3 here, but I'm sorta doubting it. :/

 

[Sp3eD]

If Pit would have been a character in Smash Brothers Melee, then Kid Icarus would have been a series 1 game. How else do you explain the horrible, unresponsive, clunky, pile of trash Ice Climbers getting a series 1 release (let alone a release at ALL)?

I blame SSB:M for this.

 

[jarrod]

Yeah... out of NES Series 1 only Mario, Zelda, Excitebike and Xevious are really worth it imo. There's tons of games from FCmini Vol.2-3 that I'd love though. :/

 

[Blinky]

w00t. I'll finally get to play Zelda II!

 

[keeblerdrow]

Battle of Olympus, anyone?





...Anyone?

Well, I'm sure you would say their games aren't selling as well.

 

[FortNinety]

I'll fourth the "we need Faxanadu now!" sentiment. Also, add Ducktales to the list.

 

[Lyte Edge]

I just picked up Super Mario 2 (Lost Levels) today, too...guess I'll be going and getting some more Famicom Mini games before I come back to the States next week. The games aren't any more expensive here, but I do prefer the U.S. boxes for these games. Oh well...

Lee suck it up...Jp boxes are pretty cool

Same here! I like the U.S. boxes... but then when the possibility of getting a little binder with the Japanese releases dawned in (check NCSX) I became sorta interested in collecting every Japanese game. At Narita Airport there's a little store in Terminal 1 with a GameBoy Corner in case you change your mind. I'm kicking myself for not getting a few of them when I still had Yen left (like Dr. Mario).
