    I used to love this on the Amiga.

    Looks as close as we're gonna get to Mario on the iPhone ;-)

    Gonna pick this one up for sure.

    Add my vote for an icon change though; needs to be a touch 'nastier' before it stands a chance of residing on my first five iPhone app screens! Just punk it up a bit with the red-haired girl as someone else suggested...

    Cheers,

    Jamie.

    Umm, NZ store only? Why? I hope it's coming to the rest of the world too, not just NZ and US :(

    You're new around here, aren't you ;).

    For future reference, when a developer sets a game to release in a particular day (rather than whenever it gets approved), it becomes available in particular country stores at 11:00 pm on the day before, based on local date/time.

    Even the Giana Sisters Soundboard app has better looking icon! It's less girlish and I won't be ashamed if anyone sees the icon on my iPhone.

    Wow, now this certainly brings back memories (of the original). I seem to remember you picking up a powerup and your hair standing on end? I used to waste 'hours' playing it on my old Amiga 500 back in the day.

    On a side note, didn't Nintendo get it pulled (the original) as a result of it's close resemblence to Super Mario Bros? I seem to remember it being harder than Super Mario Bros too.

    I'll definately pick this up if it retains some of the originals charm!

    You realize that the game sells for over $30.00 on the DS -- and it's still not available for purchase in the US.

    I think 4.99 is a great price for this game. Should everything be .99 ? I am sure this dev would not have bothered making this game and adding levels ....etc for a .99 price point. People are getting so cheap it's ridiculous. So everything should just be .99 ? We might start to get way less quality games with that attitude. Sheesh :(

    This game looks great and it seems alot of work was put into it.

    Looking great :)

    I'm actually starting to feel foolish answering all the "should be .99" comments -- it's clearly such a stupid thought (particularly when you're talking about DS or PSP ports) that it probably should just be ignored.

    Ageed. I usually do ignore those comments, but I couldn't help myself this time.

    Any chance this game will get pulled because of the past issues with Nintendo ?
     
  17. Meh. The dollar store crowd have little to no credibility anyway, so it's not like their constant whinging has any influence. :D
     
  18. Doubtful since Nintendo approved it for sale on the DS after all. :)

    True. This is not available in the US on the DS ? I was not even aware it came out.

    This is the game I was hoping would come out on the C64 emulator but this is even better :)
     
  20. I doubt it would get released under the emulator unfortunately. That original version is the one Nintendo had the problem with and got pulled, so if they found it available under the C64 emulator (and admittedly that would be harder than straight out on the App Store) they'd probably have no trouble getting it pulled again -- and the problem with DLC is that if it gets pulled and you need to reinstall again, you're SOL.
