The whole promotion is nice. Balloon Fight looks weird on my tv screen but fine on the gamepad.

Yeah. I think I'll wait for the Super Nintendo games, because now I have an NES if I want to play those games!

But still, it's nice of Nintendo to do this kind of thing. Really shows they care about the fans.

Balloon Fight is only 30 cents this month... so it's not expensive right now.
