Some retro fans (including myself) have been waiting for this for a long time. Until now, I've never seen a fully-functional NES ROM of Vs. Super Mario Bros, but RetroZone has once again outdone themselves: http://www.retrousb.com/product_info.php?cPath=29&products_id=94
Comes with DIP switches so you can adjust the number of lives and such, just like the arcade version!
Cool but I wouldn't buy it because I didn't like the actual arcade version but for extreme Mario game collectors this is probably really cool.
Some day Nintendo is going to come after this guy. :-\
No, he means go after the guy who makes these products. They're in violation of copyright.
You don't like Nintendo? Oh my god! The galaxy stopped spinning. :D
Super Mario Galaxy?
I wish Retrozone would stop making such lovely creations in fugly cases and with nasty labels. Since when do NES enthusiasts want an ugly cart with MS Word Art labelling and a clear dust sleeve? Wish they'd keep things original.

Not all of Nintendo's products are good in my opinion mainly Gamecube and Wii; but others have been sorta bad also. I just think Nintendo hasn't been trying hard enough like they did when I was a youngster.
Wii and Gamecube ar awesome, Wii gives me all of Nintendo's consoles in one basically. Muramasa
i don't like the wii, i only like Zelda twilight princess and super smash bros. brawl for it.

Plus so many other consoles through the HBC.
I love it so much I actually bought two. One for hassle-free homebrew and one for hassle-free retail games. Stoked for DKC and Zelda.
With the Homebrew Channel, you can just install emulators and throw your legally acquired roms on the SD card, USB, DVD, or external hard drive. :P
This is too awesome, though it looks seriously ugly.
Yeah, the label really disappointed me. They should've put more effort into the label, and then just included the DIP switch list on a separate piece of paper. I'm not all that picky about the cartridge case since it is a reproduction. There are stupid people willing to sell anything in a gray case and call it a "PROTOTYPE ONE OF A KIND L@@K", and then there are even more stupid people willing to believe those claims. But RetroZone should make some cartridge cases that are different colors, but opaque instead of this translucent crap.

Just the opposite; Nintendo is trying way too hard and they have all new people who make their games, all of which has taken a good 80% or ore away from the quality output.
It's probably because the staff of the Nintendo that we grew up with are leaving, & the Nintendo now isn't quite cutting it.
I still miss Gunpei Yokoi. :'(
Nintendo didn't give us DVD playback in Gamecube, or Internet play; Wii isn't even HD and the graphics look exactly the same as Gamecube.
I actually think they both look like N64 graphics which worked back then but doesn't cut it by today's standards.
And the Wiimote is nothing special if a Chinese company can basically duplicate it's functionality on a $30 clone called Sport Vii.
What would Gunpei Yokoi do? :D
He would know what to do! :D

The small disks were a drawback. Just imagine if Melee had Online support... there would be reason to play Brawl ever.
What's with everyone attaching ridiculous standards to graphics (that's why we visit FamicomWorld ::))? It's all about gameplay. I'd be fine if Game Boy and Famicom games were still being made today.
Did you see Ashens' review of the Vii?
