The new version is sleeker and way better looking than the original, but the new features turn it into a legitimate new NES replacement for you classic gaming enthusiasts. It should retail for about $60 when it's released this May. [Kotaku]

Bundled with The House of the Dead Overkill or purchasable from Amazon UK for $17, the Overkill Hand Cannon is beautiful in that it's the anti-Wii, the anti-family-hanging-out-on-Friday-night before their Disney Channel marathon.

Over 30 years later, the game is still in production (though we're not sure you can still find the full sized version on store shelves)—and that's a lot more than you can say for Atari's Touch Me predecessor (which Simon essentially cloned and improved).
