REACTION Criticism Some North American gamers have sharply criticized Nintendo for the shoddy North American lineup. Many arguments and criticisms have been fired at all of the released games:
Many gamers also regard the released games as incomplete. Some of the most requested games include other Classic NES games like Nintendo's '' Kid Icarus '' and '' Punch-Out!! '' and Konami 's ''Contra'' series and the ''Castlevania'' sequels (the most popular and requested). The release of the Nintendo DS diminished any chance that they would ever be released. Many of the GameSpot reviews complained that the retail price, $20, was too hard to swallow for a bunch of old, short games, even for nostalgia's sake, and that they should have been packaged in a compilation cart for $20 instead of all being individually released for $20 each. The pricing has since fallen to $10. Some reviewers were also annoyed at small problems in the Series; high scores are not automatically saved, for instance (the player must save it manually), and while , 2004 These issues have driven many nostalgic players to questionably legal methods, such as using the PocketNES emulator with infringing copies of games. Praise All of the games feature a sleep mode and the ability to save high scores. Multiplayer games can also use the Wireless Adapter (all only need one cart as well) to play, rather than link cables. Many people have enjoyed these features because some previous versions could not save high scores. Some Classic NES Series games had small features that made them better than their predecessors. '' Super Mario Bros. '' preserved the Minus World glitch (which was removed from SMB Deluxe). Because the original '' Castlevania '' was never released beyond the NES, its Classic NES Series version was praised for being ported over (as well as having a save option). '' Pac-Man '' Classic NES Series does have one bonus high score save (which the handheld Namco Museum compilation lacked). Some games received some major updates. '' Dr. Mario '' received a major update from its Game Boy predecessor. The Classic NES Series version features single-pack multiplayer (instead of two carts), Wireless Adapter play, and coloring (rather than tints). OTHER COLLECTIONS In addition to the Classic NES Series, Jaleco , Atlus , and Hudson Soft released their own collections of their old Famicom games. The collections use the PocketNES emulator.
