Nintendo Embedding Classic Games on Trading Cards

bacontaco writes "Here's a quick article over at Adrenaline Vault about Nintendo's plan to put out old-school Nintendo games with the use of a e-Reader that plugs into the Game Boy Advance and trading cards that can be swiped with the device. The article flips back and forth on which console's games will be supported, saying either NES or SNES games will be used with the cards. It's kind of eye-opening when you think about how games that seemed so great so long ago can now be fit on something so small as a card."

ROM alternative

Sweet...now I can play Burger Time without having to search for a ROM that works!!!

Now the e prefix is become a postfix?

In other news, Nintendo is post-fixing an 'e' to each game's title in the hopes of jumping ahead of the next revolution in electronic naming.

"People are tired of e-this, and e-that, k-this, g-that. We're leading the next naming revolution with new-age names like Donkey Kong-e, and Mario Brothers-e."

Not to mention having every one ever made fit onto a single CD, with lots of room to spare...

I can see it now. you buy a pack of cards and you have ALL but that 1 card to finish the set to play Zelda.

Just like Baseball cards you'll go buying pack after pack in hopes of finding the one

It's called a suffix, not a postfix. What kind of nerd are you?

You feel dated? I remember the Atari 2600 and the NES!

Wow, not only is Postfix a suitable replacement for sendmail, it's also a suitable synonym for suffix.
