[quote name='Ivanhoe']yeah there is slow down on the gamecube old zelda games too.
it really ruins the game.
glad i resold it .
they need to do a little update imo to fix those problems and upgrade the nes quality to snes quality liek they did with FF1 for ps1.

I think Nintendo was going for a genuine NES experience on a portable system. Thus, they left the slowdown in there. Upgrading everything takes out the genuineness (?) of the experience...
[quote name='Mr Unoriginal']This is also true of the Mega Man Anniversary Collection. Mega Man 2 has all the beloved slow down that you experienced on the NES cart.[/quote]
Youngsters can't appreciate this (apparently). But those of us who grew up playing these games for hours on end as youths, using consoles that didn't have the capability of keeping up with the action, these perfect replications (which had to be planned for - meaning the slowdown was purposely put in) are simply awesome. I don't know a person who has played the NES Zelda on the GBA and not been exstatic about the slowdown.
My Famicom Mini Zelda no Densetsu has a ton of slowdown.
Its not even a port, itas an emulation, so it thinks the GBA is a Famicom (or NES) and the gamespeed will be affected, giving the game all of the slowdown that brings back the nostalgia.
