To everyone who keeps complaining that they already have NES / SNES games on their Wii's virtual console: good for you, don't bother downloading them for the 3DS if they become available. For those of us who don't have a Wii the extra VC games would be fun.

This is precisely what I wanted to say but was too worried it would come across as rude. It works like television. Already own the DVD or Blu-Ray? Then watch that instead of complaining about the televised version. But again, all of these complaints can be overcome with a universal store. If anything, it would be an incentive to own both systems rather than buying one which, I assume the buyer will be aware, only gives access to a limited bunch. I'm not a big fan of the Wii but their VC kicks major ass.

I never owned a SNES, so I would like the opportunity to be able to play the great games everyone keeps talking about. Like Link to the Past and Chrono Trigger.

Obviously. It's been scientifically proven that providing the games that you want will have extremely negative consequences the industry. I have proof!

It's definitely not a case of "whether they can" but rather "when they should". It will happen but as always it will be on Nintendo's terms with little to no input from their consumers.

I'm guessing we will see SNES games on 3DSVC but not until the end of the 3DS lifespan. You can see patterns of this now in the way they're pushing GB titles at the moment. My theory is they're deliberately holding back because if they release SNES games now, it's less likely that the GB/GBC was perform (sales wise) as strong as they would if they're the only ones available on the digital medium. Whereas, by methodically working their way up, each of the VC games they're trying to promote get their due exposure without the distractions of a more superior brand of games like the SNES.

But, when SNES games comes along, the 3DSVC suddenly looks fresh and innovative because the service has moved beyond handhelds. It's definitely not a case of "whether they can" but rather "when they should". It will happen but as always it will be on Nintendo's terms with little to no input from their consumers.

Most companies act that way. Look at Sony, they just now put 2 analog sticks on their new handheld, after years of customer complaints regarding the PSP.

Didn't Nintendo mention somewhere that they were bringing The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past to 3DS as a 3D Classic?

Yeah, the Zelda director(I think) always wanted to remake ALttP in 3D. I always thought that they would completely re-do with a 3D world, gameplay etc. but now it seems that they'll keep the original top down look but just make it a 3D classic.

Nintendo should just release the top 10 games from each system and cash in on their own successes. I don't see what's so difficult about that! lol $$$$ talks, right?
