That reminds me, I still have most of the quite beautiful remake to play through
I'm pretty sure 50% off was the same deal when I purchased this on the eshop 7 years ago. No coins needed. Crazy to think it has never been cheaper over the years.
Already got this. Awesome game. Would it be that hard for Ninty to transfer to switch? If the ds can handle gbc and advance games. ..
@cmk8 Yes! GB/GBC/GBA games for NSO, please!
In portable mode, the Switch is already like a giant GBA.
I got a cheesewedge 2DS, so I might go for this.
I wish Nintendo would finally make platinum coins usable for this. I have almost no gold coins, but I've got almost a 1000 platinum ones, and there isn't a single decent thing you can get for them, only trash and stupid wallpapers.
This service has deteriorated SO much, ever since it changed from the Star Catalog to what it is now, it's pretty damn sad.
There's still absolutely no damn reason anywhere near good enough for us not to be able to access our Virtual Console libraries on our Switches.
I’m playing through the switch remake atm and it would be hard to downgrade to these visuals after that!
@ThanosReXXX I still have some gorgeous stuff from the star catalog, like the coins you could get for registering Xenoblade, Last Story, and Pandora's Tower. And a yellow Pikmin doll, a Luigi's Mansion diorama, a soft silly Kirby flying disk,... And some physical games, also some Japan exclusive ones. Now it's all digital stuff, discounts and wallpapers :/ And the discounts on Nintendo software are rarely very interesting, or I already have the games physically.
@DockEllisD Indeed. Not even the collector's edition had this as an extra, while it seems a no-brainer that is basically free for them and would add quite some value.
Had it on GBC and 3DS when I had them, so, no. Still haven't nabbed the remake, yet, though...
@Shambo Indeed. And normally, you'd think that platinum would be worth more than gold, but not in Nintendo's world...
A game boy colour classic? I had this on the original GameBoy!
@ThanosReXXX completely agree. I have 400 gold coins which half of it expire end of the month and I have nothing to spend it on. I’ll probably get a smash dlc character before it expires.
@1UP_MARIO Yeah, and that's the worst of it, isn't it? Spending coins out of fear they'll expire, so better spend them on something that you actually didn't even want, but which is kind of the least worst thing to get, or else your points are gone anyway...
Bring it all to the Switch finally.
And here's the same Yoshi theme again for the fourth or even fifth time.
Am I right in saying you have to add a minimum of $10 to your account in order to buy anything on 3DS now?
@Shambo That's not entirely true. There was an event end of last year were you could get some really high quality posters for free by just paying the sending fee. I got both, the Splatoon ones and SNES posters.
@datamonkey Actually, side by side comparison I still like the Gameboy version better
Such an awesome game, played this last spring and completed the story, did the same later in the year with the brilliant remake!
@Fandabidozi You can still buy it directly from their website using your card or Paypal. The discount will be applied after spending coins on the offer.

3DS? Stick it on the Switch already.
Oh boy, how I miss Iwata days.
Yay, thanks NOA. Oh wait, you suck. Never mind.
@link_
Thanks. I tried to buy Pokémon Crystal the other day and I didn’t see any other option but to spend $10. I’ll look again.
@mazzel I suppose the gameboy version does have a certain charm to it!
Had to get it, have the collectors edition for the Switch to
🔥🔥🔥🤘😀👍🔥🔥🔥
Already have the original and 3DS version. Haven't got around to playing the remake though.
@datamonkey It does! I would love to see it included in the remake, but that ship sailed
