I only ever lost one cartridge...and I still don't know how. O_o Luckily it was for the best, but I still would've liked to have finished Disgaea DS...

I'll gladly be an exception, seeing as their are only two games I'd bother buying on the 3DS VC, and both of them are terribly overrated games that I only want for collector's purposes while saying "eff you" to the overcharging jerks on eBay. Otherwise I don't particularly have a use for it.

I don't know what is keeping Nintendo from doing this for 3DS, but are doing it for Wii U. It just doesn't make sense! The Wii U is a home console. Wii U Virtual Console service should be meant to offer home console games from past generations digitally. The 3DS Virtual Console service should be meant to offr handheld games from past generations digitally. It just makes more sense that way! I honestly don't know why Nintendo put NES games on the 3DS Virtual Console service in the first place.

I was really hoping Nintendo would offer GameCube titles on the Wii U Virtual Console service instead. It's rather dissapointing. GBA games shouldn't bee on Wii U. GBA games are more meant to be played on the road, as in short bursts. Those types of games just won't make sense on Wii U. I'd rather have GamCube on Wii U and Game Boy Advance on 3DS. I'd love to have games like Super Mario Advance 2, Sonic Advance, Legend of Zelda: Minish Cap, and Klonoa: Empire of Dreams stored on my 3DS. Does Nintendo understand how much money they culd make by doing that?

I especially don't understand why Nintendo can't put GBA games on 3DS since they gave Ambassadors GBA games for 3DS. It's just stupid.

Games I'm playing currently: Legend of Zelda: A Link Betweeen Worlds, Tearaway
Games I'm excited for: Super Mario 3D World, Super Smash Bros. 4, Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze, Mario Kart 8

I think Nintendo knows exactly how much money they'd make off of any VC stuff...hence why it's no longer a priority for them. <_<

I don't think that is the reason. If they released any of the good GBA stuff on VC then it would destroy sales of pretty much all the mediocre download only junk on the eshop.

I personally just want Minish Cap, Wario Land 4, and Kirby GBA. (Nightmare and Amazing Mirror) As you can see, I didn't get the Ambassador program.

You got a better theory then? If it's it's so damn profitable, why aren't they putting even the smallest amount of effort into it? Why do they so rarely advertise it? And Why aren't they getting more developers onboard?

'cause they're busy doing cheaper VC and more proffitable games! what only confirms your theory

NINTENDOES, WHY U NO PUT NO GBA GAMEZ ON 3DS VC? D-X

I have like two years of catching up to do on recent releases to keep me occupied but I'm still going to be smgdh every time I browse the eshop and there's no Kirby Nightmare in Dreamland. I always wanted to play that one. Never got to even though I had a GBA back then. ;___;

The cost of doing it would be next to nothing. There is no way it would cost more than it would make therefore there has to be another reason.

(You do it once correctly you can just pump the games out like D4 did with the Neo Geo. They could just get them to do it they are very good at it).

There is probably 50 GBA games I would rather have than any of the eshop none retail download titles that I don't have. They want 3rd parties on the platform because they don't produce enough games. (They only have one none Japanese studio - Retro). But they spend 82 million $ on worthless advertising. If they just looked back for all the Earthbound's i.e games that are priced extremely highly used and had about 20 most of that money that is currently not going to Nintendo would go to them.

What Capcom would do is dump the whole back catalog on in an extremely short period of time I am not suggesting doing that. Just put some stuff from before everything was dumbed down or in genre's they have no intention of making a new game in.

Maybe they don't have the skills in house but with the docs they are people who could do such a thing with not much effort. Transistive managed to translate anything to anything with about 5% overhead. (They did their own stuff and the translator for Mac OS X PPC -> X86). D4 are pretty good as well. (Wii Neo Geo - MSX on a chip).

If they need hacks in the emulator the emulator is not accurate hence not good enough. (They should have the best because they have the docs it is obvious).

I think it is maybe a bit more complicated than that though as Nintendo seems to use a variant of the model Disney uses for some of its classic films when it comes to rereleasing stuff. (And suffers from many of the same problems like high levels of counterfeiting / Downloads etc etc).
