Topic: What games you want for the 3DS Virtual Console

It's weird, but I'm strangely satisfied now that they've announced Kid Icarus and Wario Land. Kid Icarus was probably my favorite Game Boy game (far deeper than the NES version, though I love 'em both) and I never got to play the highly acclaimed Wario Land. After that... I... don't know! What a nice place to be in. I'd like SMB3, but it's so available in other places that I can hardly complain about that.

Well...no, not really.
I never did multiplayer up until Saphire/Ruby, and even then I enjoyed the game plenty without it. there's plenty of hours of fun to be had just playing the game. After I beat the Elite Four I just went capturing more Pokemon - and no, I wouldnt be able to complete my Pokedex because theres no trading, but that wouldnt bother me, because I'm not obsessive. :3

I wish some people would stop saying that it's IMPOSSIBLE for Pokémon R/B/Y/G/S/C to be released due to no multiplayer. Guess what, there's no rule saying that notable games with multiplayer can't be released on the VC if they only have the single-player mode. Look what happened with Tetris, for Heaven's sake: it is probably the best known multiplayer Gameboy game (excluding the Pokémon games) and they still released it despite not having multiplayer on 3DS. Did the world end because of this? Was there a fan-rage equal of a nuclear apocalypse because of there being no way to play it in multiplayer? No sir, many gamers were still happy to see the classic game being released.

Sure, you couldn't finish the Pokédex, but let's be honest: this has never been the main focus of the game, and I really doubt all the Pokémon fans even bother with it. Back in the day, not everyone even had any friends to trade or battle with, leaving many Pokédexes incomplete. But people still enjoyed the game because of its high-quality single-player features like traveling through the land, clearing the gyms, beating the Elite Four, etc. This is the through meat of the game, and the multiplayer capabilities are just a nice extra.

@TheDreamingHawk I honestly think getting bored is not such a big issue, as most people wouldn't even bother with filling their Pokédex, and just consider the game completed after clearing the E4: besides exploring Cerulean Cave and catching all the Pokémon, there isn't that much extra stuff to do after the league in Generation 1, and even getting all 151 Pokémon doesn't honestly add up that much content, anyway. Sure, battling your friends would give you some additional playtime, but since there's no online, it can be hard to find anyone to battle with, let alone gathering more than one friend. Another thing is that many 3DS owners probably don't know anyone else with a 3DS, so they wouldn't be able to use the multiplayer functions even if they were available on the VC version (unless they had more than one 3DS, of course, but that's gonna cost a lot).

@Geonjaha I completely agree with you! I didn't really have anyone to trade with and still enjoyed the games tremendously and didn't feel bummed out because I could never complete my collection.

Before I finish this rather lengthy post, I also wanna remind everyone why no multiplayer in the VC version of these old Pokémon games matters even less: Generations 1 and 2 are incompatible with the subsequent games, so even if you could get all the Pokémon, what's the point of catching them all when they can't be transferred to the newest games? I wouldn't even bother with that task, and instead concentrated on getting all the badges and defeating the E4, and of course, re-experiencing the nostalgic days of my youth .

The main point of my argument is that nobody should state "No old Pokémon games for 3DS VC due to lack of multiplayer" as a fact since it isn't some kinda law which Nintendo must obey. If the Big N thinks they can get away with releasing the old Pokémon games without multiplayer on the VC, they can darn well release them if they want, only time will tell. If these games still haven't been released after 5+ years, then I agree it's unlikely they will be re-released on the eShop, in which case the people I disagreed with are free to say "Told you so Olaf!"

With that, I'm off. Goodnight, y'all!

I would like too see:
Super mario world snes or gbc
Mario tennis
Mario golf gbc please!!

3D Classics: Super Mario Bros. 3

Oh god. I just watched footage of dragon warrior on GbC, and I want it badly!

It is brilliant - but I'd recommend skipping it for the second one(s).
The sequels (Cobi/Tara) are my favourite games of all time - and improve immensely over the first one.

SMW was never released for the GBC. I assume you mean the GBA Super Mario Advance 2: Super Mario World. With the entire GBA VC thing up in the air, we'd sooner get the SNES release. I do agree with Mario Tennis though. Loved that game. The GBA release was so much better, but again who knows when GBA VC games will come.

Agreed

These are the games I want:

GB/GBC
>Pokemon Trading Card Game
>Warioland 2
>Warioland 3

GBA
>Pokemon Leaf Green/Fire Red
>Pokemon Ruby/Sapphire
>Breath Of Fire
>Breath Of Fire 2
>Final Fantasy V Advance
>Final Fantasy VI Advance

Game Gear
>Shining Force II: The Sword Of Hajya

TurboGraphx 16
>Alien Crush
>Devil Crush

SNES
>Starwing/Starfox

I know some of these are very unlikely to happen but one can only hope and for all those saying that Pokemon won't be released due to multiplayer, who's to say they won't add multiplayer support in the future?

I would love to see ironsword II

Well, I just recently downloaded SML and Gargoyle's Quest. I doubted Gargoyle's Quest would actually go on sale, and now I'm just waiting to see when SML2 and TLoZ: LA DX goes on sale. I also purchased VVVVVV while it was on sale for $5 +tax. I have $17.40 left in my account, do you guys think that will be enough to get SML3 as well?

$17 left after buying all those? I think you might have enough left.
(serious answer: probably enough left even if you paid regular price for the other two games, though I haven't checked the prices. LADX is $6 I think. GB games are what, $4-5 each usually (I know those are priced differently and Nintendo charges more for the marquee games).)

@KingMike, I finally just purchased my 3DS a little over a week ago, and the Gameboy VC was definitely a high selling point for myself. You probably wouldn't believe the level of nostalgia I receive from these old Gameboy games. I mean, we're talking about my childhood here. So far, I only have 5 Gameboy VC games, but that will definitely change in the future. I've loaded my eShop account with about $50-$55, so far. With Sakura Samurai, VVVVVV and 99 Seconds being my only non-VC titles I've downloaded. Now that you've put it into perspective, I think I probably could just purchase those Gameboy games outright. I'd rather save a few dollars, if it's possible. I have plenty of games to play until TLoZ: LA DX and SML2 are offered at a discounted price. By the way, I believe Gameboy VC titles are either $2.99 or $3.99 each + tax. I believe GBC VC titles have been $4.99 or $5.99, up until this point. I'm hoping TLoZ: LA DX will be no more than $3.99 + tax when it finally goes on sale.

if i cant have pokemon blue or red can i have dragon quest monsters atleast

thats wat i met i dont like the spin offs on the gb and gbc only pokemon blue/red and pokemongold/silver/crystal only time i trade when i wanted a golem

Give me Oracle of Seasons/Ages and any Pokemon game and I will be happy.

Come on! Just give @Mr_DSi ANY Pokemon game already! He's becoming more and more desperate now. Look at the pain you're causing him Nintendo. lol

Speaking of GBA, here is my wish list:

FFV ADVANCE
FFVI ADVANCE
Fire emblem 7
SUper mario advance 1 and 3
Mother 1 + 2 ( one day)

...no, couldn't keep a straight face.

I want a golem.
