I do not know how this hovered under my radat but this is a DEFINITE purchase.

I spent MANY hours on this franchise as a kid, even on the original Nintendo Gameboy.

PS3 at $15 (Unsure of the £ price) or 1200 Microsoft points.

Comes out on PC via Steam today as well they have not got the price up yet but the official twitter feed says $14.95 which is a little steep think I will wait for Steam sales.

I didnt see a free trial on XBL when I checked last night. Dont remember this back in the day, so any impressions of the update would be appreciated

There is a trial Jamesy, but have a look on the xbox live website. That's where I got it from, I haven't looked on the dash. I haven't played it yet though so I can't say how good it is.
