- Shame Pocketnes has been out for ages, and that most peoples carts are probably dust (apart from you die-hard collectors out there, or people who thought the nes may be worth something some day)

- Why play original NES carts when you can emulate the ROMs on a PocketPC (such as the Dell Axim!)?

- People want to play their original games. A lot of people stay legit too. Sure you can only download roms of games that you own, but you're not limited to that. I can imagine people wanting to play the real thing (even though there isn't much of a difference).

- The NES carts were huge! What's the point!

- I was thinking the same thing. The GameBoy Advance SP is smaller (albeit heavier) than a single NES cartridge.

- The cartridges for the Japanese Nintendo (Famicom) which they are using are actually quite a bit smaller then the American NES cartridges. But they are still way to big for a porbable system.

- In other news, Nintendo patents handheld emulation, cracks down [slashdot.org]
In line with the retro-Famicom fervor that's hitting the game industry in Japan, Gametech has been releasing systems that enable Famicom cartridge owners to use their old games. The first, the NeoFami, is a regular sized console released in December 2003; the second, AdoFami, is a peripheral that attaches to the Game Boy Advance that piggybacks the handheld console to play the original games; the third, still unnamed console is a standalone handheld system that will be able to play Famicom games by itself.
