"Nintendo also revealed that it will be producing a series of NES E-Cards, with the actual game encoded in their strips. Each NES game will be sold seperately as a pack of five E-Cards, priced at $4.95 for each game. To play the game on the Game Boy Advance, players simply scan each of the five cards into the E-Reader. Currently, the library of NES E-cards include Donkey Kong Jr., Balloon Fight, Pinball, Tennis, and Excitebike.
The E-Reader will ship on September 16th for 39.99, and come packaged with a classic NES game (either Donkey Kong Jr. or Pinball), one Game & Watch e-Card (Manhole), three Pokemon The Card Game e-Cards, and one Animal Crossing e-Card that can be interfaced with the upcoming GameCube title, released on the same day."
I'm more disturbed by the fact that there's actually a Game & Watch e-Card called "Manhole." What the hell was the sequel? Manhole 2: The Toolbox?
2003: Children everywhere dissapointed by Donkey Kong Jr. Math's humorously untradeable e-Card. "Shit," added 10 year old Robert Hinkely, "I couldn't even get Mappyland for this crap."
When asked for comment, Tony Hawk added, "I had the Clap and it was better than this, The fucken Clap brah!"
Hawk then went back to stealing young lives with his overwhelmingly addictive line of video games.
Thanks to Jeremey "jewey" VanHoutten for the info.
