Yeah I'm looking really forward to this. Was relieved when they finally announced it last fall after all the speculation. Looks like they're trying to be faithful to the NES game.

Adding PCE console specific layer on top of that, makes for an interesting challenge (no, not a reference to Ys II).

Looks cool, probably should've been on the gamecube though, lol. I wish Nintendo would come up with some new hits instead of living off of their past accomplishments. I think this can be said of Sega as well who has decided to whore out poor Sonic to every electronic device in existence.

You never know. It may or may not live up to the originals.

Given Nintendo's current track record it won't live up to the originals.

They should consider licensing Manny Pacquiao or Mike Tyson for this. Just the fact that Tyson was so dominant when the original came out really added to the appeal of the game. The only problem with Pacquiao is even though he's totally dominant, he's not a heavyweight, so they would be breaking their tradition of having the final bosses be heavyweights.
