I immediatly bought the first one, spent the next three months playing through it, so when the second one came out I didn't even want to think about touching it. Not until the third was announced for release in North America anyway... I still haven't finished the second one actually, dropped it as soon as the third came out. What I most like is the steady improvements each game has over it's predecessor, without changing the flavour (can't think of the correct word) of the games.

I had stopped playing it, and I figured that was the time to get rid of it without losing too much money (also, I wanted the money). This will be the game to convince me to purchase a new one. Hopefully the inevitable redesign will be out by then.

Alas, it wasn't to be... maybe on the 30th? Really, it would have been a perfect complement to the Super Mario All-Stars release for Mario's, only better, since we never got the 16-bit LoZ titles.

Surely the eShop or WiiWare would be a perfect place for new versions of Zelda and such. The BS versions are floating around online as roms, so it couldn't be real hard for Nintendo to package them up as bountiful WiiWare treasures for a new audience. Hell, the 25th anniversary would even had been an excuse to do a disc release with all these previously unseen (in the west anyway) versions, along with the originals and other nice supplementary material. Surely a license to print money if ever there was. The lack of support for downloadable things from Nintendo is made more baffling when these things are brought to life.

Anyways, sounds like a fascinating game, one that I had never heard of.

It didn't do anything particularly wrong, added some inoffensive weapons, had AMAZING boss fights, and the formula wasn't yet stale. I have no idea why you're comparing it (and the predecessor NES games) to other completely unrelated games on the console? This article should be about X3, if anything. Which wasn't all that bad, either. X2 is more of what made X great.
