Default Gameboy and Gameboy Color Games for the Virtual Console
I had a thread of this before the Apocolypse.

So, if it was maybe, say 500 points (same as NES games) would you like this addition? I personally can't believe it hasn't been done yet. I'd love some Red & Blue or Links' Awakening on the VC.

Discuss.

I was going to post something similar. My guess is that since GBA is still "around," perhaps Nintendo wants people to buy the system as opposed to downloadable games? What do you think?

Which, to be fair, is entirely the right place for them. I've got the GB adapter for the SNES and it isn't the same as playing the games on a handheld.

I know what you mean. I think GBA games are also coming to the virtual console on the DSi. I hope they put the Castlevania games on it. I still have my old copies, however, I only have my Gameboy Player(for my Gamecube). I sold my DS lite and Gameboy SP.

Jeez, I gotta get my sister to get a DSi, and when she's not looking, I'll play some Zelda: Oracle of Seasons.

Recently Reggie said this wasn't something they had anything to announce yet for.


I'd love to see! And let me bring NES and Master System games over from my Wii(I believe SNES resolutions are too high for DSi)

While promising(likely is japan gets it, so while NA) I'm still waiting. And since GDC 2009 passed w/o Nintendo announcing it

A virtual console for the DSi with handheld games? That sounds friggin' sweet! I have never heard this prediction, and I own a DSi (I love it).

Nintendo, PLEASE release this in the States! I never got to finish the Oracle games!
