Nintendo to remake old NES classics?

So Hyper Shadow, Anarki, and I were at the mall. After some distasteful rounds of Dance Dance Revolution Extreme (read about our experience in general), we decided to go to Software Etc. Guess what we see? All of our old favorite NES games with "Coming Soon" labels on them. It seems that Nintendo is celebrating the launch of the NES and its 1980 reunion by releasing:
1) New NES style GBASP
Remakes of
1) Super Mario Bros.
2) The legend of Zelda
3) Pac Man
4) Excitebike
5) Donkey Kong
6) Ice Climbers
7) 1 or 2 more other ones that I forgot.

Not to mention Nintendo recently remade the ever respectable title: River City Ransom. The games feature VERY respectable multiplayer on 1 cartridge (at least Mario Bros. did(I'm assuming all of them do)). Do you think you'll be able to play as 2 on Super Mario simultaneously or have to take turns? Man, I would love playing 2 at a time.

Also, that new NES style gameboy looks ever-respectable, but I'm saving my penniez and silvas for the Nintendo DS. What are your thoughts on these new 1980 celebration releases?

I am planning on reserving one or two. I have enough penniez, I think....

I want to buy pac man, the legend of Zelda, and Donkey Kong. They are some of my favorites

I only saw 5, and pac-man was not among them. WTF? Are they remaking it, too? Zelda is a must have, DK is an ultimate classic game, and if there is pac-man, then I have the same list as showdin.

Yes, I am saving my penniez. I have like 2800 penniez shoved in the boarding of my bed so far, a little more than half there.
