I really want to play pokemon emerald again

Really hoping for Golden Sun

Golden Sun better not get a Wii U release before we here of 3DS VC or I'll be forced to buy for both systems!!

I guess you can't beat Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga in glorious HD.

Okay. Guess this means I'll eventually own Final Fantasy VI Advance and FFTA legally...not that I'm thrilled to own those turds, but I want them for collection purposes.

Might as well grab the Battle Network and Advanced Wars games legally as well...

I think we'll eventually see the GBA VC come to the 3DS. Regardless of Nintendo saying there aren't any plans for this. Just look at the details for multiplayer on Luigis Mansion 3DS here, http://www.nintendolife.com/news/2011/11/luigis_mansion_2_is_...

This clearly states that Nintendo said NO to a feature and by recent news, the game now not only has Local Multiplayer, but Online Multiplayer as well http://www.nintendolife.com/news/2013/01/nintendo_details_mul...

They might be announced in the next 3DS direct for all we know. Either way, this is good news. The GBA was a fantastic system.

Mario and luigi superstar saga is a must have!!

The GBA announcement actually made me think Nintendo's about to start supporting the ability to play purchased VC games on both the 3DS and Wii U. Well, it was part of that anyway, along with the upcoming Miiverse addition to the 3DS, which implies linked accounts.

They just announced that you'd have to pay a fee to get your Wii games on the Wii U VC, so I doubt they're going to start linking the 3DS and Wii U VC libraries anytime soon (read: ever).

In a way, they're already linked - you can see all Nintendo 3DS software, card and download, in Nintendo eShop for Wii U, as well as all the same details, screenshots, videos etc. that are in Nintendo eShop for Nintendo 3DS. You just can't buy the stuff yet.

Yeah Superstar Saga would work great on Wii U!

I hope for the sonic advance games

Yes, but that's for new features. I know I'm being optimistic, but with Miiverse coming to the 3DS, it's expected that Nintendo ID's will be linked between the systems. What's more, the only games confirmed for the Wii U VC seem like the most obvious choices for the 3DS VC (it already had NES games, and GBA games were expected; SNES games are very similar to GBA games). Even if Nintendo were to charge a small fee to have games playable on both systems, I'd be more than happy to pay it for some of my old favorites. Anything's possible.

GBA games on Wii U? Lol yeah that's a good one, as if that would ever happen.

Oh wait...

I welcome anything, but Mario & Luigi is all I ask for.

I like FFTA. Not a great game, but it's good in mild doses.
But FF6A was a bad port of a good game.

I can see them pulling a Sony and announcing them later down the road so people can play on both Wii U and 3DS

Hopefully they use some good filters then. I have my gamecube+GB-player hooked up to my 42" LCD TV and GBA games look like a blurry mess. almost unplayable because it hurts my eyes after a short time. Guess I will move the gamecube to my bedroome oldschool tube TV

Agreed. During the brief time I owned a second-hand Gamecube I also had a GameBoy Player and whilst I guess it would have been okay on a smaller CRT, the resolution isn't high enough to blow up on a modern HD set without doing some additional image processing.
