@evanescent_hero Well, as I said, these two are my favorite Zelda games, so judging games by their graphics is obviously not something that I do.
But, these 2 games are 12 years old and they were published for the GBC console. It is just my opinion that they would not be worth $20 a piece, especially if you take into consideration the fact that they will be bought by many people who already own them on a GBC console.
So, why pay the "full" price for the same games twice? It is just a re-release, and there won't be any new features. So, 5-6 euros is the perfect price to pay for these games now, in 2013, on a Virtual Console.
I am glad that I have Pyramids, a beautiful new game for the 3DS, instead of an old game that is being republished for a new console. Nintendo should focus on publishing the top titles on the Virtual Console, and nothing else.
Besides, they are focusing too much on the NES and GB systems. They should start releasing more top SNES, GBC and N64 titles. As far as I know, they are part of the Virtual Console too!
Well, you could always press L or R to change the marble color, so you don't need to tap the frog. Also, you should have mentioned the slowdowns that occur on some of the later levels with more marbles on the screen.
A fine list of game, although I wouldn't choose Mario Kart: Super Circuit to go with it. Mario kart 7 has just been released as a better, more refined game, and I doubt that any 3DS owner who has that game would go back and play something older.
Bravo! A wonderful article, full of moments that really stand out in the series. And, yeah, about the PH puzzle, I thought it was a bug or something, that prevented me from completing the game.
Played it a couple of years ago, finished it, thoroughly enjoyed it, but will not play it again... Don't know why, I just think that this game is meant to be one-time full experience only, it's enough to make me appreciate it for life.
@4: Yes, there is, and although you can't expect the variety of objects present in the PC version, there's quite a lot to choose for building and designing.

$100 for a battery.

Meh... I went to my Nintendo Club account, and I didn't find any surveys for MK7, Harmoknight and Gunman Clive. Why is that?
Besides, as long as Nintendo doesn't offer games for the stars, they are practically worthless.

Here's an idea: make this game available on 3DS eShop.
That would be better. ^.^

So, when are these games going to become available for download? The day has come, but so far, I only see Heroes of Ruin in my eShop menu.

Even those, my friend.
I bought the Ice White bundle pack, and finished it in 2.5 days...

Nightwalker commented on Nintendo Leaves BAFTA Empty-Handed:
Well, I was also left disappointed with SM3DL. I mean, it's a great game with great levels, but the level of challenge is next to none.

Nightwalker commented on Nintendo Responds to 3DS Black Screen Error:
@45: And did you read somewhere that I was justifying the other consoles?
So, Nintendo should stick to an excuse of the "Other consoles have had initial errors as well" type? If yes, that is just... WOW... :/
