They've pretty much dried up, At first I thought it was just the b&w games that they're not doing any more, but now the NES and GBC games have dried up too. We're lucky to get one a month now.

Any theories?

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

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

More focus on the WiiU virtual console, other first party games, new hardware, or just lack of sales from the Virtual Console.

Cause they are working on something BIG... probably not but why not get our expectations completely unreasonable.

People keep saying the Xbox One doesn't have Backwards Compatibility.
I don't think they know what Backwards Compatibility means...

Kinda like the Game n Watch galleries, I would like to see a Virtual Boy compilation, with improved colour and 3d that won't make your eyes scream.

I never drive faster than I can see. Besides, it's all in the reflexes.

They never had a great rate of releases anyway, but I cant really see any reason why they would have stopped. They still have games in the pipeline. On an unrelated note I only just realised that Harvest Moon 3 never released in the EU originally. I was looking forward to replaying that one!

Funneling more money into releasing VC games would cut into the amount they can spend on paying Chinese kids to manufacture amiibos

A simple answer: Nintendo hates the money. Period.

Me gusta jugar videojuegos. Soy de México. Sorry my english grammar. I love the Virtual Console, party and fighting games too.

That's a cool idea! I'd like to see some 3D Classics of Gameboy/Gameboy color games.

I'd also like to see Kirby Tilt N Tumble...

or Capcom and Konami and Natusme have not make there 2015 list yet and they still have some games left from game boy, game boy color and game gear nes and also maybe turbo
also has Konami bought the rights to Hudson soft yet I thought they have and when the deal has finished they will put them out like crazy

Konami has been the owner of Hudson since like 2004 or something (probably even earlier, I believe it was in 2003 they released the JP-only crossover fighting game Dream Mix TV, I think it was, with Konami and Hudson and even Takara characters. For all those who wanted a Bomberman vs. Simon Belmont vs. Optimus Prime death match. )

I got a Japanese N3DS and I downloaded R-Type (for PCE). The channel icon actually plays the Konami 16-bit logo sound (even though Konami originally had nothing to do with the game), in case there was any doubt Konami owns the rights to Hudson and the PCE now. (and if I'm reading the manual right, it seems the Japanese actually got the US version of the game... while it doesn't look the US itself will )

but I still think they all coming it could be NOA doing it I know Konami is supporting 3ds and Wii u virtual console because in 2014 they Capcom and natusme supported virtual console so I my therms they could be coming to PAL first and then NA when we complain enough
just like donkey kong land/country and Pokémon trading card game

I really wish the 3DS VC would see some SNES games...

If you add me, I need to at least know you or I won't add you back.

The same reason they won't let Natsume release the Pocky & Rocky games on the Wii U VC.

Insanity.

Technically, they haven't been releasing much of anything on the 3DS...just an indie game here and there. Other than that, nintendo is acting like they have no good nes games to release...what about the few that many fans have been asking for...like The Goonies 2 or Ducktales 2...or how about some other goodies that could help nintendo start making some sequals of remakes of...Startropics, Faxanandu or even re-releasing Dragon Warrior or the Wizards and Warriors. I'd even like them to re-release A Nightmare On Elm Street, Adventures of Bayou Billy or Little Nemo.

No offense, but that would require effort. Remember, the VC literally exists to make as quick and shameless a buck as possible. If it requires even a little effort, it's on the backburner, if it's even considered at all. If it's a licensed product, forget it. Difficulty coding? Sorry, we're too busy getting ready to slap on Skykid and Urban Champion on the shop to bother with anything decent. And remakes or additional features? A once in a lifetime proposition. They have to be desperate for relevency for that to actually happen...even 3D Classics have been a no-show outside of SEGA's works.
