System : Gameboy advanced
Price : 39.99$
Games : 4.99$ each
The good : play old NES games, easy to handle and tell you if barcode was error
The bad : only 10 are out by christmas, also on cards like pokémon and magic the gathering. easy to bend if bent games won't play i bet.
the review : well i made sure i got the one with Donkey Kong Jr.
it was a great game i opened the pack slowly to see if they had that nintendo smell. do any of you remember that smell on a newly opened cart back in the 80's? Well this didn't have it.
they also gave me a free pack with a giant E- on it
it included Manhole (a Game & Watch game) really awsome (games comes later )
i bought excitebike i opened that up next and loaded it into the e-reader.
WOW i gasped in amazement it was a handheld nes. their is little to no difference. So if your a NEStalgic gamer like myself run and buy his asap.

I remember. I think the smell was a mix between the cardboard and the black plastic cartridge sleeve.i opened the pack slowly to see if they had that nintendo smell. do any of you remember that smell on a newly opened cart back in the 80's? Well this didn't have it.
Great review!

you can't see it on the pic i scanned ,but their are dots.
and if you look at the NES rom in the wrong format (16 or 32 bbps instead of 8bbps) it reminds me of these dots.
remember also
Balloon Fight - 16K program & 8K gfx | mapper 0 (no screen changes)
Excite bike -16k program 8K gfx | mapper 1 (left to right screen)
DK JR - 16K program 8K gfx | mapper 0
where a GBA rom is normally 8MB~128MB (new games like Kinnikuman generation 2 GBA)
can they be stored possible , but not likey.

why make it 60$ for 1 disk when you can pay 5$ per pack of cards.
this way then can rape you with pokémon cards and animal crossing cards
as well as anything else they can think of.
I'm in it for the vintage Nintendo personally
oh BTW adding a article about the cards tonight
check in on it later

Nintendo is probably just trying to get some of the card craze that has been going on lately.
