I keep looking in hope. My interest is rapidly diminishing.
I have even dug out my old GBA SP for another go at FF Tactics Advance.
I can't think why Nintendo are putting us through this week after week.
They must be trying to see how long they can taunt us all before giving us something a little bit decent!
It almost seems as though Nintendo are reluctant to release any VC games. GB, GBC and GBA have just been drip fed since the eShop started. What is the point of releasing DS games on VC when there is a much richer back catalogue that is being basically ignored!
@GamerZackX Can't agree more! One of the main reasons I bought my 3DS was to play some classic GB and GBA games. Up to now it's been very disappointing. What's so wrong with handheld games on a handheld device?
Like many others, I don't understand the logic of GBA games on Wii U VC. They need to be on 3DS VC seeing as they were originally designed to be handheld games.
It would be really nice to be able to play this game! I bought the Fire Emblem 3DS XL but it had a faulty upper screen. I sent it to be repaired and it came back yesterday with exactly the same fault. Now I'm told I have to send it back again. Nintendo customer support do not respond to emails and the service is very poor in my opinion. I had a problem with my Wii U which took 4 months to resolve.
I couldn't wait for Wii U to be released last year. The problem is, I have only bought one game for it other than Nintendo Land that came with it. It really isn't a good situation that Nintendo have found themselves in!
Very interesting article Gaz. The problem is that Nintendo is only toying with Virtual Console. It is certainly not a priority. How often do we see a new GB or GBC title? What is the point of NOT releasing some GBA titles? I wait every week to see the VC releases and 9 times out of 10 I am left disappointed! I can understand not wanting to release a glut of games all of sudden but at the current rate it will take 30 years for some to get released! It also seems that Sega has given up on VC altogether with no GG games being released for ages.
What about all the classic GB and GBA games. It's about time Nintendo paid a bit more attention to the 3DS eShop because this weeks offerings are extremely poor.
Surely a GB game per week isn't asking too much.
Sega seem to have gone very quiet too with no GG games for a while.
I have most RPG's for DS and was quite looking forward to this as it looks pretty good from the trailer. I'll be giving it a miss though. I am not buying from GAME. I cannot see this policy working for either Square or Nintendo.
Ever since the 3DS eShop was anounced this is the one I hoped would arrive sooner rather than later. Can't believe it is one of the first! Not only the best Gameboy game ever but one of the best games ever on ANY console in my opinion. I can't imagine any 3DS owner not wanting to play this piece of Nintendo gaming history! Now let's have Monster Max.

I agree. Nintendo, please remove 'promo' from the game title.

Re: Nintendo Download: 6th February (Europe)
Yet another week of nothing!
Nintendo are doing nothing to help themselves here.
Re: Nintendo Download: 6th February (Europe)
Once again, even more rubbish. This really is not good enough.
I keep looking every week in the hope of seeing Nintendo get their finger out and do the right thing.
Every week I am disappointed. NO GB, NO GBC, NO GBA !!!
Re: Nintendo Download: 14th November (Europe)
3DS Virtual Console being ignored once again. This is really getting to be a pain!
Re: Review: Deus Ex: Human Revolution Director's Cut (Wii U)
@SCAR392
From what I have seen up to now on Wii U and 3DS is that physical copies are always cheaper than downloads.
It is £20 on Amazon!

Re: Nintendo Download: 13th June (Europe)
Let's hope the sound is a little louder on this round of GG titles!
Re: Microsoft: If You're Backwards Compatible, You're Really Backwards
I play more Wii and eShop games than Wii U games but maybe that says more about Wii U software up to now!

Re: Out Today: Fire Emblem: Awakening (Europe)
I have the 3DS XL on order from Amazon and it's not arrived today
Re: Europe Receives Fire Emblem: Awakening Puzzle Panel
I've been really looking forward to this and have the Fire Emblem 3DS XL on order
While I've been waiting I've played through GBA Sacred Stones which is brilliant for anyone who might not have played it.
Re: Review: Legend of the River King (3DS eShop / Game Boy Color)
I think it's £4.99. Was looking at it the other day and almost purchased it. I think I will now after reading these comments
Re: Nintendo Download: 7th February 2013 (Europe)
Yet again no GB or GBC games. very disappointing once more!

Re: Japanese Virtual Console List - July 2011
Been waiting for years now but sorry to say it doesn't look like Gods, The Chaos Engine or even Quackshot will make it now. What a shame!
