Topic: How many GBA games on Wii U have you downloaded?

I collected GBA games during their heyday, and own a total of 42 games (all but eight or so that are complete with box and instructions). When combined with my ten 3DS Ambassador games, there's very few GBA games on the Wii U Virtual Console to tempt me that I don't already own. In addition, my GameCube with Game Boy Player is also hooked up to the same TV as my Wii U, so if I want any of my cartridge games on the big screen, it's simple enough to make it so. If I prefer a small screen, I just pop the game into my SP or Micro, so all my bases are covered. If you couldn't guess, I'm not a fan of re-buying games I already own

However, the Advance Wars series was an odd gap for me, as I never played a single game in the series. So, I decided to pony up the cash for it, and I don't regret it. Really fun game with addicting gameplay, sort of like a lite Fire Emblem (story-wise, at least), but dear god can it get challenging! Been stuck on a certain mission for months, will probably have to look up a youtube video on it. Still very interested in continuing the game, though.

So, my answer is "just one", and I really doubt I'll ever buy any others.

6 so far. Metroid Fusion, Kirby & the Amazing Mirror, WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgames!, Wario Land 4, Mario Kart: Super Circuit, and Fire Emblem.

I might get Super Mario Advance series if they add the 4th and last installment, Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3.

If the Nintendo released the some of remake from classic, why not releasing Yoshi's Island for SNES Virtual Console?

None, never been fan of GBA. It was just a weak handheld and it showed it's power. Couldn't even run Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 properly while even the snes version did better. No money for .h.tty handheld! lol

Too bad as you're missing out on some grade A games. The GBA to me was a better experience then the DS but not by much. Mario and Luigi Superstar Saga, Advance Wars, the Castlevania games, the Fire Emblem games, and the 2 Metroid games were some of the best those series have ever seen. Just those alone are worth it.

What does that have to do with VC releases? Good games are good games regardless of how "weak" its system was. The Game Boy has numerous good games even though it was a black and white 4-bit handheld.

And so what if it didn't have a good port of Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3? There's always going to be crappy ports from a more powerful system. Doesn't mean its a bad system.

I've downloaded 19 GBA games so far on my Wii U.

None. GBA isn't meant to be on Wii U. It was supposed to run on 3DS, which is a portable system and would feel closer to the original experience.

I've only nabbed Metroid Fusion so far. I'll probably pick up the Minish Cap at some point, but that'll likely be the extent of my GBA library.

The Game Pad provides the best experience to play GBA games, a relatively portable system. You don't even need to hook it up to a TV. You just can't play it when you're on a train or something.

I only have Advance Wars so far but to be fair, GBA time was when I played and bought the most games so I own a lot of the games I would get. Honestly outside of Megaman games, most of what I want will be games I used to own but don't anymore because I was an idiot that thought selling games to Gamestop was a good idea.

also, I didn't want to risk ruining my 20 games eShop thread.

Because I have the ambassador games on my 3DS the only one I have is Advance Wars. And frankly if I didn't have the ambassador games the only other game I would have grabbed would have been Minish Cap. If I was more of a Metroid fan (and had actually gotten around to beating Super Metroid) then Fusion would also be on that list I guess.... because Fusion is pretty damn awesome. Most of the other stuff? It's mostly games that were better on the SNES.

Metroid Fusion
Kirby Amazing Mirror
Wario Land 4
Mario and Luigi Superstar Saga

Still want to get Fire Emblem, Advance Wars and Mega Man.

Make that 20, I recently downloaded Magaman Battle Network 2.

when will Golden Sun The Lost Age reach America?

None right now. I will probably eventually get Fire Emblem though.

I bought all of them. Except Mr Driller. Just can't bring myself to drop $7-8 on Mr Driller. Maybe if it goes on sale, then I'll own them all.

I bought 10 games so far and not finished yet! I appreciate releasing these games on 3ds would make more sense, but I sold my GBA many moons ago, and at the time, I would have killed to play the games on a TV.

I have downloaded none, because I don't have money spare to spend that kind of cash on games that aren't old enough to be expensive physically, and aren't new enough to be worth that much.

And I never really liked the GBA.

As I own the ambassador games on 3DS, probably the only GBA game I don't have access to that I'd consider buying would be Advance Wars. But as I already own a newer iteration on the DS, it makes me reluctant to get it.

I recently moved my VC content into folders based upon systems and I was surprised by how many I actually have in GBA-land. Still hoping for Pinball of the Dead, but it's Sega so I guess I can forget about that unless someone decides to license it because they think GBA games are somehow important SIGH.
