To me this is a no brainer now that the3DS is out but for those who are new to the Nintendo, they might not even know about the Virtual Boy. If Nintendo offered Virtual Boy games on the 3DS VC would you buy them? Which ones should be done first? Also, would you be willing to pay extra if the graphics where updated and redone in color?

I'd buy Wario Land but thats it.

But if they were redone in color, they wouldn't be Virtual Console games anymore. Nintendo doesn't put effort into porting games to the Virtual Console. Just give us a color scheme that is more friendly on the eyes than red and black. Perhaps black and white how they did for the GB games.

Edgey, Gumshoe, Godot, Sissel, Larry, then Mia, Franziska, Maggie, Kay and Lynne.

I'm throwing my money at the screen but nothing happens!

I would absolutely buy some VB on the VC. The ones that would be instant buys would be Panic Bomber, Mario's Tennis, Mario Clash, and Wario Land. Others would be determined based on reviews. I kind of doubt they would be updated graphically nor would I even want them to. That red and black is the charm of a VB game! I really hope Nintendo decides to do this!

There is hope. Remember what they did with Excite Bike. The was orginally 2D and they re-did that game in 3D under 3D Classics

I'd buy VB games on the VCH; they would be a near perfect fit, no?

Exactly.

Due to it probably hurting my eyes no. But I wouldn't mind a free version for ambassadors like me.

I think it's pretty much a given that the only ones most people would buy are the ones with "ario" in the title.

Myself included, until reviews suggest otherwise.

Not even. No game on Virtual Boy even looks remotely fun to play and in all honesty owning a Virtual Boy is like owning a watch. Woopie.

The only ones I want are Wario Land, Mario Clash, and Mario's Tennis. Apart from these, I have no love for Virtual Boy.

Let's not kid ourselves. They will never colorize these games. It would take more resources, time and money than it's worth for Nintendo. But yes, I'd get Wario Land and Mario Clash for sure.
Also, there's Bound High and Dragon Hopper, which I heard were finished but never released (because the VB had crashed and burned by then), which is a shame, because both looked awesome.

I bought Game Boy games. Virtual games seem to be practically the same thing. So yes. (If it's a decent game. I hear a lot of them aren't.)

@Matillion: I watched it in cross-eyed mode, and it was still great! Excellent proof-of-concept on simply changing the colors to black and white. It also makes me want the game even more than I already did! Make it happen, Nintendo!
