JAPAN'S ZELDA ALL STARS

You know there's one thing I've got to gripe about regarding Nintendo, they remastered only ONE series of NES games for the Super Nintendo in the USA, and that was Mario All Stars. It's not a bad game (or shall I say 4 games in one), in fact it's good for younger gamers who don't have all those old NES games or an NES to play them on, but what ever happened to Zelda All Stars! You've got to be totally brain dead if you're not going to release a remastered Edition of The Legend of Zelda and Zelda II: The Adventures of Link for gamers in America! ...But they did in Japan. I don't want to start any kind of ethnic war on my website but I must say that it sucks bigtime that we didn't get to even PLAY a remastered version of The Legend of Zelda made as a downloadable feature to some type if satellite TV game channel, but Japanese gamers did. You see, like Mario All Stars they improved the graphics and sound to make a better game. Personally I would have liked to play that game. I don't even know if the plot's the same or different or what, perhaps some Japanese, English speaking gamers wealthy enough to get that channel and download the game could shed some light on the issue. Here's some shots of what it looked like.


Although I don't publicize Links to Emulators or Roms or websites that distribute these things because technically their illegal, but this is almost justification enough to nab an emulated copy of this game since we are never going to see it in stores, and Nintendo's never going to sell it. I can't remember where but I did see an ROM of this game on a website once, so I know it's floating around somewhere. I personally would like to have had the cart though, to add it to my collection of great games.
