I've been mulling over the possibility/inevitability of a September Direct for the past while now and, in addition to the wishlist I made under the rumour article a while back, there's one thing that I think I want to see above anything: GB/GBA on NSO.
Ever since those emulators leaked a few months back, I have been feverishly thinking about the idea of adding these systems to the current crop of NSO offerings and the more I think about it, the more excited I become. The Game Boy systems completely passed me by when I was younger (with one of them releasing before I was even born at that) so a new way to play these classics for the first time would be massively appreciated. Another reason why would be the potential for Pokemon this time round. Imagine being able to play Gen 1-3 all in one place with possible HOME connectivity? I'm not sure how it could even work but goddamnit I want it to.
In short: give me Game Boy or give me death.

@Fizza On the 3DS there was a Poke Transfer app to transfer Pokemon from Gens 1-2 and a few DS games to BANK, but I think if we get them on a NSO app it would all be baked into HOME and the Pokemon would have special badges showing they came from a older game.
Just an idea, I too have thought a lot about this.
@Kermit1 Would also be the first time ever that Gen 3 has been available through a Virtual Console-esque system (closest thing we've ever had was ORAS back in 2014) which would be great. LET ME PLAY EMERALD DAMNIT.

@Kermit1@Fizza If they were to add Gens 1-3 to NSO it would cool if the Pokemon Stadium games also came and functioned like the original N64 games. There's also a few other N64 games that connected to GB games like Mario Golf.
@Grumblevolcano Yes, and then we could play the OC characters in Mario Golf and Tennis that are locked behind the cable, or the other character arenas in Tennis. Not that I'm particularly attached to those characters but I don't like how the character rosters in those games have been forced to be incomplete on VC and now NSO.
@XandertheWise I think you might be in the wrong thread mate. Either that or you're one of those riddler leakers that leak things in hushed tongues.

@NintendoByNature@Kermit1 Thanks for letting me know guys. I'm not currently interested in 3 myself but if I ever get into the series, I'll make sure to ignore people like them (like I've just done now).

@Fizza I think I have a problem looking at spoilers for things... Mainly Pokemon and Splatoon... Pokemon looks amazing I need to wait for the game to come out to be surprised, unlike Legends where I looked at every single leak up until launch. I still enjoyed the game though.
First time I've ever put anybody on ignore on either here, Push Square, or Pure Xbox. Luckily I didn't really read any of that post, but it's still for the best as he's been too lazy to ever use spoiler tags since the game's come out. Even if posting it in this thread was an accident, it still would have been right out there in the XC3 thread. It's not that hard to add them to a post.

Hmm....this is certainly interesting. https://twitter.com/JumpmanBoss1
This guy called 7 out of the 8 tracks coming back in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe's 2nd Wave, in addition to predicting both the release date and when the trailer for it would drop about 6 hours beforehand (also doing a similar thing with Bayonetta 3). At the moment he's talking about Mario and Luigi Superstar Saga coming to Switch 'when' GBA comes out on NSO but that one remains to be seen as of now.
Whilst I'm fully aware this could just be a similar case to Waddle Dee Knows where he makes every tweet imaginable and only publicises the ones he gets right, it's still interesting to think about. I'd especially kill for M&L SS to come to Switch, I loved the 3DS remake and would be very interested in playing the original version for the first time.

I wouldn't put any stock into random twitter leakers tbh. They just usually guess often, and people take it at face value. Nintendo youtubers them cover them, lying to their impressionable fanbases, and then it starts the cycle of hatred that hits right at Nintendo instead of their "Credible" leakers which get things wrong on constant.
"It is fate. Many have tried, yet none have ever managed to escape it's flow."
@VoidofLight God do you remember the Grinch leak for Smash Bros Ultimate? It was bloody World War 3 for a solid month back when that came out. Still can't believe how they managed to fake it though, it was so well done.
