[edit] Photo
It would be awesome if we could include a photograph of the NES-themed GBASP. Hbdragon88 06:06, 23 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Comment
- Donkey Kong - Jeff Gerstman wrote that removing the Pie level made for an incomplete experience. [1]. Just because the title says "Classic NES Series" doesn't mean that it hasn't been criticized for lacking the pie level.
- The lack of the levels in Super Mario Bros. is still an issue and has been critized even if, again, the title says "Classic NES Series." Gamers don't stop to think, "Oh gee, because it says 'classic NES' it means that it had to be faithful." It has been criticized precisely because it has been faithful.
You could add that the criticisms don't fit because they are supposed to be faitful ports. The Donkey Kong entry has noted that it wouldn't make it faithful. But they are still criticisms and are perfectly valid even if they clash with the series title. - Hbdragon88 07:28, 13 December 2005 (UTC)
I also don't think his criticism on Bomberman fits either. I don't see how he can expect it to have multiplayer when it never had multiplayer when it was on the NES.
[edit] Responses to RfC
A good rule of thumb I have seen elsewhere on Wikipedia is to only list criticism which has an independent source, not just your own nitpicks or pet peeves. This eliminates a lot of conflict because you can say "A says that..." instead of just making claims which by themselves would violate NPOV. Someone who knows more about this subject should examine the currently unsourced claims to see which ones can be verified externally. (ESkog)(Talk) 22:32, 20 January 2006 (UTC)
I did a quick check on reviews from a couple big name game sites (IGN & Gamepro namely) and what Hbdragon88 is saying seems to hold water. The reviewers all mention the missing levels, so the criticisms do exist. It's not our place to decide the merit of these criticisms, but perhaps the best way to solve this is with a revision of the text that acknowledges Nintendo's reasoning for excluding these levels. --GunMetal 22:34, 8 February 2006 (UTC)
[edit] No Super Mario Bros. 2 or 3
I don't like that Super Mario Brothers 2 wasn't released in the United States, whereas it was released in Japan. True, it isn't as popular as 1 or 3, but it's fun to play anyway. Also, Super Mario Brothers 3 would've been nice, as Super Mario Advance 4 updates it by adding stupid quotes. Such as when Mario acquires mushrooms, fireflowers, etc, he says, "Oh-ho! Just what I needed.", or when you start a level, "Let's-a go.", or when you start the game, "Let's-a-go. Super Mario.". So lame. A more accurate version would've been nice.
[edit] PocketNES comment.
>These issues have driven many nostalgic players to questionably legal methods, such as using the PocketNES emulator with infringing copies of games.
I removed this comment since "nostalgic players" were using the PocketNES emulator quite some time before the Classic NES Series was released.

[edit] Classic NES Series 3
Here's what I'd like to see for the 3rd series.
Super Mario 2- The Japanese got it, but we have to put up with the annoying voices in Super Mario Advance. The original should be rereleased.
Super Mario 3- Super Mario Advance 4 is 97% true to the original, but I'd rather not have the voices thank you very much. It was also a very innovative game, bringing inventory as well as the frog suit and famous raccoon suit.
Tetris- How can you provide Dr. Mario without bringing the legend it's based on? If not for the mastery of Tetris, Dr. Mario would've never existed.
