I hated the "blur" effect on the original game boy while you run(although on the GBA SP I don't see it). Otherwise an amazing game for it's time, and still holds up well today IMO.
Sad indeed that Nintendo let RARE slip away from them and into the enemy's hands. I would have been all over this collection had it been on the Wii U or 3DS for that matter.
@WaveBoy: Metroid II desperately needs a 2.5D remake. Somebody was working on a fan made project a while back. I'd rather have that than this abomination.
The 3DS e-shop has become a weekly joke. Nothing but 1 or 2 shovelware games, and no VC whatsoever. The same batch of games being recycled on sale too. I'm losing my faith in it as a whole.
@Windy: I hear you, bro. I've bought them all, but OutRun is still king;) I've been enjoying Excitebike 3D lately though to be honest. Love the fact that it saves your best lap times for each track!
This game was very difficult for me back in the day. The only sole reason I originally bought this was for the unlockable DK arcade machine. Well worth the $60 to have a true arcade version of the game that saves my high scores.
Anybody interested in swapping something for my club nintendo platinum reward? I'll take either cash or some game downloads from the final list of club nintendo rewards. Open to all.

Re: Nintendo Removes Ironfall Invasion From 3DS eShop Ahead Of Ironhax Exploit Release
What an @sshole. One moron ruins a game for millions of others.
Re: Mario History: Punch-Out!! and Famicom Grand Prix: F1 Race - 1987
I have F-1 Race on the NES! Somebody made a home brew cart for me. This game is actually decent.
Re: A Resident Evil 2 Remake Has Been Confirmed
Coming never to a Nintendo console near you!
Re: Nintendo Download: 6th August (North America)
@Crono1973: You and me both. I have given up on the VC on the 3DS at this point.
Re: Mighty No. 9 Delayed Until Early 2016
Yet another reason why I don't back kickstarters.
Re: Soapbox: It's A Tragedy That Rare Replay Isn't On A Nintendo Console
Sad indeed that Nintendo let RARE slip away from them and into the enemy's hands. I would have been all over this collection had it been on the Wii U or 3DS for that matter.
Re: M2 Initially Felt Porting Streets Of Rage 2 To 3DS Was "Impossible"
Grabbing this asap. Hopefully SOR 3 will be possible as well.
Re: Review: Super Street Fighter II: Turbo Revival (Wii U eShop / GBA)
Love this port, and alpha 3 as well.
Re: Anniversary: The Virtual Boy Is 20 Years Old Today
I loved the games on it. It sucks that we'll probably never see any of its game released on the 3DS VC.
Re: Review: Final Fight One (Wii U eShop / GBA)
This is the best version, period. Who the hell are you guys at Nintendolife kidding?
Re: Angry Video Game Nerd Adventures 2 is Confirmed, and Looks Set for Nintendo Systems
This is awesome. Loved the 1st, hope the 2nd improves on everything.
Re: Nintendo Download: 16th July (North America)
Another wasted week for the 3DS. What is with all the DSiware lately??? Whomever is responsible for the lack of VC on the 3DS should be fired.
Re: Nintendo Download: 9th July (North America)
Yet another week I spend nothing on the eshop for my 3DS. Nintendo's effort really shines once again.
Re: The Peanuts Movie: Snoopy's Grand Adventure Will Bring Its Wit to Wii U and 3DS
A budget title that looks decent. Reminds me of Garfield's Nightmare on the DS in terms of quality. Will check out in November!
Re: Talking Point: Raw Power Isn't Vital to Nintendo's NX, But It Does Matter
Last chance for Nintendo indeed. Should they fail, they will end up being the next "Sega" by 2020. Time will indeed tell...
Re: Hands On: Blast Ball Brings Crude Button Mashing and is a Poor Advert for Metroid Prime: Federation Force
@WaveBoy: Metroid II desperately needs a 2.5D remake. Somebody was working on a fan made project a while back. I'd rather have that than this abomination.
Re: Video: Here's a Brief, and Entertaining, History of Donkey Kong
The original DK arcade is still my favorite game of all time.
Re: We Can't Release Virtual Console Games Any Faster As It Would Impact New Development, Says Iwata
Excuses are like @ssholes, everybody has one. You suck, Iwata.
Re: Nintendo Download: 2nd July (North America)
Another VCless week for the 3DS. LAME.
Re: 3D Streets Of Rage 2 Arrives In North America July 16
YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! At least somebody is keeping retro alive!
Re: Nintendo Download: 25th June (North America)
More DSiware? Seriously??? When are we ever going to see the VC on the 3DS again???
Re: Nintendo Download: 18th June (North America)
@ericwithcheese2: I feel your pain. It's been at least 3 months since we've seen any games on the 3DS VC.
Re: The First Mother Game Is Finally Coming To The West As EarthBound Beginnings
Why isn't this coming to the 3DS as well?
Re: Video: Fan-Made Mother 4 Gets Shown Off In 'Attract Mode'
They should put this on a GBA cart and sell it on ebay!
Re: Capcom Reveals E3 Plans and Mega Man Legacy Collection for 3DS
Too bad it's not a physical release.
Re: There's A New Producer In Charge Of All Things Mega Man At Capcom
@GeminiSaint: Agreed. Also, make Mega Man 11; and port it to all systems.
Re: Nintendo Download: 4th June (North America)
@Windy: True, but at least we got AVGN. Still no 3DS VC though:(
Re: Nintendo Download: 28th May (North America)
The 3DS e-shop has become a weekly joke. Nothing but 1 or 2 shovelware games, and no VC whatsoever. The same batch of games being recycled on sale too. I'm losing my faith in it as a whole.
Re: Pokémon Shuffle Brings Major Changes in Version 1.2
Finally caved and dropped $50 for gems last week to get the Lucarinite stone. Love this game.
Re: Nintendo Download: 21st May (North America)
@Windy: I hear you, bro. I've bought them all, but OutRun is still king;) I've been enjoying Excitebike 3D lately though to be honest. Love the fact that it saves your best lap times for each track!
Re: Nintendo Download: 21st May (North America)
@Windy: Oh look, yet ANOTHER week w/o any 3DS VC! When will Nintendo wake up and smell the coffee???
Re: Stretchmo, Known as Fullblox in Europe, is Available Now in North America
Bought the $9.99 bundle pack. Awesome sauce;)
Re: Former Castlevania Producer Koji Igarashi's Kickstarter Launches, But Won't Come To Nintendo Consoles
Very lame indeed...
Re: ​The Prices of the Remaining Physical Goods on Club Nintendo in North America Have Been Reduced
FYI to all: The puzzle comes in a bag, not even a box like pictured. Very disappointed indeed.
Re: Nintendo Download: 30th April (North America)
Wow. Another lame week. Wtf happened to the 3DS VC?
Re: Mighty No. 9 Confirmed for September Release, Along With Physical Retail Version
Physical copy for the win!
Re: Natsume Suggests That Nintendo's Moving Away From SNES on Wii U Virtual Console
There is absolutely NO reason for this. Nintendo has completely dropped the ball when it comes to the VC on the Wii-U and 3DS in my opinion...
Re: Nintendo Download: 23rd April (North America)
Besides the DLC, lame week. When are we going to see the VC return to the 3DS again???
Re: ​Vote Now and Decide Which Classic Mega Man Title Will Kick Off Mega May in North America
None of the above. How about the never released Mega Man Mania for the GBA?
Re: Nintendo Download: 16th April (North America)
Grabbed Fantasy Zone II 3D and the new street pass content. Still, another week without any 3DS VC games...
Re: Review: Donkey Kong 64 (Wii U eShop / Nintendo 64)
This game was very difficult for me back in the day. The only sole reason I originally bought this was for the unlockable DK arcade machine. Well worth the $60 to have a true arcade version of the game that saves my high scores.
Re: Reminder: Xenoblade Chronicles 3D Out Now for the New Nintendo 3DS XL in North America
@leo13: Somebody who doesn't need/appreciate it, or somebody who stole it.
Re: Reminder: Xenoblade Chronicles 3D Out Now for the New Nintendo 3DS XL in North America
Will go physical once I find a used copy at gamestop.
Re: Rumour: Project X Zone 2: Brave New World Heading to 3DS
Indeed. I really dug the first one.

Re: Nintendo Download: 9th April (North America)
No 3DS VC once again. Lame!
Re: Nintendo Download: 2nd April (North America)
Another beat week. No AVGN for the 3DS?
Re: Nintendo Reveals the Final Club Nintendo Elite Rewards
@RedPandas: What are you offering?
