A partnership with Sega is better than half ***** ports from EA.

One can hope that this allows Nintendo and Sega to remake/port some of those classic Sega I.P.'s to the Wii U and 3DS. Personally I would take a Wii U version of Panzer Dragoon Orta and 3DS Nights over Mass Effect Trilogy and Battlefield 4.

Kicking Orcs & Elves out of my collection. Sorry it may be an id Software game but has the stench of EA's logo on it.

3DS versions too please.

Excellent news.

Looking forward to all of these.

At this point all it really needs is GBA on the Virtual Console.

It's a neat version that has taken way too long to release.

Looks good at least the 3DS one.

Could be THQ didn't want to do a Wii U version and 2K sees no reason to invest in it until they supposedly let a new team take a crack at the series with 2K15?

Mega Man died when Capcom saw that they could "Pokemon" the franchise. It helped short term sales but damaged the brand in the long run.

On Castlevania, Konami should of left Iga and the Classic/Metroid styles on handhelds and let Mercurysteam have their own storyline and God of War style games on consoles.

Furthermore did Mirror of Fate outsell the previous handheld games?

Tablets will replace laptops and that's about it.

Looking forward to his next project.

Pass.

This gives me a bad feeling.

Bubbles burst...

Fuse is going to flop. No one is talking about it.

I am out of room for DSi games so I will not download anything else that is DSi only.

If Ikachan can be both DSi and 3DS why not more games?

This will not end well.

I really do hope Sega uses these games for something shocking.

@Silverbullet89

Eye Toy and Sing Star came out of Sony Computer Entertainment Europe and supposedly Sony Computer Entertainment Japan has always resented them for that.

All is forgiven Sega.

And that's why Zelda Link's Awakening has a Mr.Write.

So Nintendo has always made money except about 2 times when they lost some money and 1 time they kind of broke even, with billions in the bank and this is a bad thing?

Apple said it best "Think Differently ".

And to be fair cable news(Fox,CNN,MSNBC,CNBC,HLN) are more about entertainment than news. All of them have zero credibility in my book.

As strange as it sounds since the Wii Virtual Console is not fully compatible with the Wii U the only option is to add more consoles to the Wii U Virtual Console.

If Nintendo is going to trickle drop releases then there is more of a chance of receiving 1 or 2 new games a week if they add in the other consoles from the Wii Virtual Console.

Secondly the 3DS should have GBA,Neo Geo Pocket, and Wonderswan games.

This is a great move. There are a number of fantastic iOS/Android games that would be more enjoyable with buttons.

It's a neat game and I will download a 3DS version, but I need more commitment of it happening.

If the Wii U/3DS versions were the lead Kickstarter version I would support it more.

This is a business decision that is going to hurt EA or Nintendo.

It seems the "guns" of EA have their sights on Nintendo, aside from losing to Call of Duty and NBA games EA rarely loses these battles.

Too many lawyers....

Bait and Switch.
It's a damn shame that Sega is the one being strung up over this, but it seems that gamers are starting to have had enough of being tricked into buying bad products.
Things that NEED a patch day 1 to fix things that 10 years ago would of shamed a company.

Stories like this make my ulcer act up.

I do not like the idea of an all in one device usually it consists of bits and pieces that are good enough instead of "top of the line".

I have a 16 and will upgrade to a 32 when I find one at a great price. But it's time to make DSiWare launchable from SD Cards.

Nano Assault EX for $10 is a steal.

Earthbound 3 was an ordeal for development, and arrived so late after shifting platforms twice that there was no feasible physical market for it outside of Japan.

Granted a download version could work for Earthbound 3 or Earthbound 4 but I can see him no wanting to go through the stress of it again.

A nice 2D sprite based remake of the first two Ecco's on the 3DS would of been nice.

I hope there is a demo.

People, please do not forget to check out the the GBA version of River City Ransom.

@NotEnoughGolds Agreed. It's a game that may be lost in limbo with the rights.

Maybe Nintendo could solve that by buying the rights to it.

Never mind I did a little research and discovered that D4 owns the rights to it.

You have my attention, and odds are that I will download day 1.

I think 3DS owners just want a confirmation of GBA on the 3DS even if it takes 2 years.

I would gladly play a slight premium for this on the Virtual Console.

Now if we could get GBA games on the 3DS eShop.

I get the feeling that this will speed up North American releases, and fix some issues that the branch has had over the last 5 years.

Mainly I do not trust them to not pull a "Zelda this week, nothing next week, nothing next week, Castlevania 3 for 3DS,Bomberman (NES) for Wii U,nothing,nothing..."

There are no excuses for not having 1 or 2 Virtual Console games every week on both the 3DS and Wii U.

The ads still imply that the Tablet is an add on for the Wii or that the Wii U is the tablet itself.

Nintendo needed a heavy hitter and a casual game that they could show and end the commercial on "Only for the NEW Nintendo Wii U System and Tablet".

And today the code would of been patched out of existence.

@tripunktoj this.

So many good/great games are returned because the kid played for 10 minutes and could not figure it out.

Again, this is a victory for gamers everywhere.
