DLC-enabled cartridge brings next-gen features, pricing to the NES

RetroZone, creators of exceptionally wacky retro peripherals like the RetroUSB adapters (which allow you to use NES and SNES controllers on the Gamecube and Wii) and the PowerPak cartridge (a flash cartridge for the NES) have managed to one-up themselves in the "exceptional wackiness" category with their latest offering: Glider, based on the freeware Mac game.

What's so wacky about Glider, other than its monochrome look? The cartridge is designed so that new levels can be added via a USB CopyNES adapter. In other words, downloadable content. At $42 for Glider and $70 for the (quite useful-looking) CopyNES, that's some expensive fake retrogaming!
