So our power was out for the better part of a week over here so I had ample time to play on my gameboy. While playing I thought of the Classic NES series Nintendo put out for the Gameboy Advance and wondered if it'd be possible for someone to put Ninja Gaiden on a GB cart.

So would it be possible to put an exact port onto a GB cart of Ninja Gaiden?

It would be very hard, as the architecture is really different. It would also look worse (because 4 colours) than the original.

Why not play some Ninja Gaiden: Shadow? It's an okay version of the game for GB.

If someone wants to completely rewrite the game, then that would indeed work. As long as they completely rewrite the entire freakin' game from scratch. There's a reason this kind of thing never happens.

In the meantime, you could modify the case on a GBA Flash cartridge, and make a GBA cartridge that looks like a GB cartridge (note the notches on the sides of a GBA cartridge that make it boot in GBA mode). Then put PocketNES on that.

I already have Ninja Gaiden Shadow and I played the crap out of it.

If you have a jailbroken iphone,you can download a nes emulator and some roms on it and you are good to go.

It's easier to just say "if you have X modern handheld device, install Y on it".

No worries I have that covered. I have an Android phone that I rooted so I can connect my Wii remote through bluetooth and use that as my controller. I have an NES, SNES, GB and Genesis emulator with entire NTSC libraries for each.

So as far as an actual cartridge for a gameboy it's a no go. Shizzle

talking about Ninja Gaiden... would be possible to edit the tiles in Ninga Gaiden Trilogy adding more colores?

I mean, that game looks nearly as a NES game instead of a 16 version... so, if I change the sprites, I can use more colors to make it look better?

EDIT: something like this...

Looks pretty sweet to me
