Topic: They should update the Gameboy games to change contrast

The 'green mode' should represent what it actually looked like on the GB. They should also be adding GBC support (colour palettes) for each GB title (ie. A GBC emulation for GB games). Also local wireless multiplayer. I wouldnt expect any of that to happen ever though.

Can't you already have the GB games in the "green mode" by pressing some buttons before you start the game?

Why do people point to their wrists when asking for the time, but don't point to their crotch when they ask where the bathroom is?

No, that actually gets you "Original Game Boy Resolution" mode.

For instance, you can display games in the resolution of the original Game Boy system. Simply press and hold START or SELECT when tapping the game's icon on the Home Menu.

You can change color at any time by holding the shoulder buttons and pressing Y.

I had a cousin who passed a way about a month ago. So I really remember the times we had especially with the Gameboy. So the Green mode (and the game Donkey Kong which is the first game I plan too get) are very special to me. I really think the depth slider should be used for this, it would feel natural. The 3D mode for the original resolution isn't really necessary. What if they had different skins for the Gameboy Color/Pocket. Anyways I don't have a 3DS yet, will be getting Midnight Purple. Pretend it's a Gameboy Color/Advance.

Lack of SGB and GBC, lack of Game Link, and related to GBC: Balloon Kid (Japan gets a GBC upgraded version. Nintendo could offer the rest of us a choice of paying extra for the upgrade as an "import" release or regular for the "nostalgic" version, but nope. Though I think DKL3 is the only game with that predicament, whenever that game gets released.) ... Nintendo just doesn't "get" the mistakes they're making (sure they probably think they're being cost-effective by leaving out features they don't think people want, but they're just devaluing the potential of the VC.).

Well to be honest if they did add all of those features I would buy a lot more GB titles, especially the multiplayer ones.

I don't own a 3DS, but if/when I do, I wouldn't buy any GB/GBC games that are missing the multiplayer function until they fix that. Also, I would be willing to buy a Super Game Boy channel on Wii for 800 points so that I could play the GB games on my TV.

Shoulda, coulda, woulda. Just play the dang games and enjoy them!

While we're at it, Nintendo should just hand us 5 free games for no reason!!

Um, I doubt Nintendo is shaking in their seats for the "mistakes" they are making for a service they barely charge us anything for. Just saying

I hope Nintendo updates both Game Boy and NES games to include multiplayer features.

I don't think Nintendo needs to do that much with the Game boy games, but if they could add one thing, I would be happy if they didn't make it so blurry on the green mode in full screen. Sure, it's fixed when it's at the original resolution, but I kinda like some games to look decent on full screen. If Black and White looks good on full screen, why not green?

For the "Green Mode" you think it would be a good idea to change it wit the 3D Depth Slider. Some games needed to be played on different contrasts.

I agree. If I was in charge of Nintendo and their operations, I would make an update that does this very thing.

Knock it off with the personal back and forth, guys. Back on topic.

Well complaining about them on a forum isn't solving anything, is it?

I find it funny how you are attacking me, which is not okay on this site. Stop now or I will report you

Also, read the above quote and double check your posts next time

I'm not attacking you - sorry if it seems that way, I was just replying to what you said.
And what is it you want me to check on my post? I dont know what you're referring to.

@Geonjaha: In general what I noticed, especially here, is that Nintendo releases a service, and everyone complains about it. It seems that many fans are simply ungrateful that the service existed in the first place and only focus on how bad it is. No VC games in two months? Forget that we had some in the first place and only complain about the current "lack" of games!

Yeah, I wish they looked like the screenies on NL. It's Nintendo's neglecting little things like this — that require so little effort — that pisses me off. They're just dumping a rom on us, including the barest of features, and charging 3-4 bucks a pop. When you consider what you can buy for the same price on other systems, it's embarrassing.

Been very disappointed with the 3DS VC. Oh well, at least Link's Awakening looks and plays awesome on it, haha.

I do, however, find it hilariously ironic that SEGA's VC games (Game Gear) have more features than Nintendo's own games...on their own service

I'm not complaining, if anyone knows me well they know I rarely complain. I love the VC and I have most on the Wii. I don't care about any of the extras that SEGA has or the save state feature. I love that you're able to change it to green mode and back. Though I wanted the Gameboy games to be emulated as close as possible to how you would be playing it on the Game Boy and that would include that contrast slider for the green mode. It would help because as you know some games loose a bit of detail due to the default contrast. Nothing big, just be something neat to have.

Wait I didn't know you could change the color of the system on the Game Gear games!!! My Red Gameboy Pocket!!

Haha, agreed! Hopefully Nintendo can learn something from SEGA on this one.
