Nes games on E-Reader cards.
Quote:
Nintendo will release classic NES games for the GBA's upcoming E-Reader.
Nintendo is preparing to launch the upcoming E-Reader with some heavy hitters. The company has revealed that it will ship the E-Reader peripheral in the US on September 16th -- this device, when plugged into the Game Boy Advance, will enable users to scan specially encoded trading cards, allowing them to read text and play software embedded in the special data strip.
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.

This is pretty good news, but a question to you all.
Which NES games do you wish you could play on the E-card?
