Should have been the original arcade version rather than the NES version. Moreso because in the arcade version it was possible to shoot the dog during a bonus round, albeit doing so caused you to instantly lose the bonus round.
5 euro for a game this old is a bit stupid though
[QUOTE=Valiantttt;46793643]5 euro for a game this old is a bit stupid though[/QUOTE] You'd be spending roughly about that much for the cartridge anyway.
[QUOTE=Valiantttt;46793643]5 euro for a game this old is a bit stupid though[/QUOTE] you're giving Nintendo five euros for a gaming classic they let you emulate on your Wii U rather than spending shit ton of cash on the original cartridge. I'd say the price is fair.

If it was a collection of classics, then maybe.

Finally the Wii U gets the killer app we've all been waiting for.

The reason it doesn't work with modern TVs is the latency, it works by looking at the screen and seeing the white square flash for one frame, if it isn't perfectly in sync with what's being displayed the whole thing is thrown off.
