I've been looking into that. I think a lot of the reason is the fact that they haven't figured out all of the carts yet. Do you wonder why Castlevania 3 isn't on the cart but 1 and 2 are? It's because 3 uses a rather rare mapper and custom sound chip. There are a sizeable chunk of games that do odd stuff like that, making it impossible to get them running on the hardware they are using now.

I think they could do half the library though... maybe two thirds.

pbj:
If I win the lottery I'm gonna buy every copy of Castlevania 3 and burn it so I never have to hear about it again.

mike boss:
All in all I like this cart.
For the money you can not go wrong. (IMHO)
I'd actually like to get a few others to be honest, even if I got a ton of duplicate games if they offered 2 or 3 titles I wanted I would not be opposed. I looked into the 400-in-1 and was disappointed in the games list.

I went through the NES US releases and made a list of my favorites, sadly certain "gems" that I wanted were not included.

I'm not versed in the technical side of these, but I wonder why big titles like Punch-Out or Battletoads, Kid Icarus & Metal Gear are missing.

Howard_Casto:
It's probably a lot of reasons, but some of it probably has to do with different regions having different tastes. Mike Tyson's Punch-out was made specifically for the west. Even when it down-graded to regular Punch-Out I don't think it sold well in Asia. Battletoads was a western property. The pc engine was quite popular in Japan and the rest of Asia and the NES version of Metal Gear is actually a horribly butchered port. I mean they even changed the story significantly. As for some of the classics like Kid Icarus, Metroid and ect... I honestly don't know.

mike boss:
Odd I guess! ???

I still say I'd like to see a set of carts containing what they could of the complete US library.
I think that would be super cool.

I'm actually looking into getting some of the SD cart options. The Sega Genesis one is quite reasonable, the SNES & N64 substantially more.
Being in Canada with a weal dollar I'll wait a lil bit.
