I don't think the GBA games are going to be emulated. The 3DS has the hardware needed to run GBA games built in(because it's same chipset as the DS) so it will be actual backwards compatibility. That's probably why they don't plan to sell them at the moment.
Of course if they get emulation working they'll probably change their minds.
@HugoSmits 5 DS games!? Wow... independently or with other companies? Any plans for 3DS download stuff or are you going to stick with the bigger audience for the time being?
I think this is all part of Nintendo's pursuit for third party support and it's a very dangerous game to be playing. They're willing to damage their brand for one, admittedly massive, third party franchise.
I wish them the best of luck. That's all I can say.
The EU eShop manager is terrible. We had the worst start and now that things were looking decent they decide that they can take a break because of the Ambassador games... WTF?
@bboy2970: I think the general stability of software has to be judged regardless of the price. I can deal with a download game having less content or not looking as good as a retail equivalent but the game should fundamentally work properly.
Yeah there's a career mode and you have to unlock characters and customisation options.
Lets Golf was put in the shop last week here but said "coming soon to the eShop" which was changed at 2pm. It took a while to download with its gigantic size though!
@bboy2970: The full update doesn't appear to have happened yet but Lets Golf was made available to purchase.
It seems like good fun so far and I'm not that familiar with the iphone version(only saw trailers/screenshots) but it appears to look pretty much identical.
@bboy2970: It's right there on its info page it only has two player which is done by handing the system to the other person... I'm not even sure it has wireless local.
Yeh, I hope more games are online in the future. It's a bit of a shame Lets Golf doesn't have online whilst the iphone version does.
...and yeah talking about the download cap if the blocks are the same size(which I'm sure they are) then the size limit for 3DSware is at least 192mb.(probably more)
I'm more than happy with this. I got to have the 3DS early, build up a library(and play some awesome games) and now I'll be getting 10 free NES and 10 GBA games... I'm cool with that. Plus there will be a ton more people to streetpass and play multiplayer with!
7 is a good score. The game is fun, looks pretty nice even though it's simple and the 3D not only enhances the visuals but also helps the gameplay. It's a lot of fun.

Re: Nintendo Download: 6th October 2011 (Europe)
Catrap looks cute. I might try it out. Avenging Spirit is awesome by the way.
Re: Nintendo Download: 29th September 2011 (Europe)
Hmm... I thought Pyramids was getting a September release?
Re: Interview: Object Vision Software - Aya and the Cubes of Light
Huh? Does the game do something special that means it wouldn't be possible on the 3DS?

Re: Dragon Quest Monsters Remake Charts a Course for 3DS
Another million seller confirmed for 3DS. Japan will be conquered.
Re: Site News: Nintendo Life's eShop Appearance
YAY! I was super shocked to see this on the EU eShop.
Also I own over 50% of the games listed.
Re: Nintendo Download: 15th September 2011 (North America)
I don't know if it's the same on the US eShop but there's a shelf for Nintendolife's favourites(on the EU eShop)!
Re: Nintendo Download: 15th September 2011 (Europe)
Nintendolife is on the ESHOP!!!!
megaton!
Re: Rumour: Analogue Stick Add-On for 3DS Revealed
@James: I would have personally said no but maybe Capcom thinks it is(strangely enough).
Never has news been simultaneously so disconcerting and reassuring though!
Re: Rumour: Analogue Stick Add-On for 3DS Revealed
@SunnySnivy It was revealed with Monster Hunter. It seems Nintendo made it specifically for the game, possibly to actually get the game on the system.

Re: Nintendo Download: 8th September 2011 (Europe)
The EU eShop manager needs to be sacked/fired. Whoever they are they're an absolute mug.
Re: Nintendo Download: 1st September 2011 (Europe)
MaxiMillionG go to your download history, scroll to the bottom and see if there's a "next" button or something, they might be on the second page,

Re: Review: Magical Whip: Wizards of the Phantasmal Forest (DSiWare)
If it gets a PAL release I will purchase it.
Re: Let This Tales of the Abyss Trailer Set the Scene
Can't wait for this, will be the first RPG on the 3DS. Woo!
Re: Tekken 3D Prime Edition Shots and Trailer Pack a Punch
OH yeah, unlike DOA and Street Fighter this game will be 60fps in 3D.
Re: More Mutant Mudds Screenshots
Can't wait for this!

@Savino: The aiming is done with the Circle/Slide Pad.
Re: Nintendo Download: 18th August 2011 (Europe)
Yeh, Urban Champion isn't a good game but the 3D update looks pretty damn good... the presentation I mean.
Re: Review: Go! Go! Kokopolo (DSiWare)
I think this is a great review and the game is a lot of fun but it does get quite difficult!
Re: EnjoyUp Promotes DSiWare Games with New Video
I only have Zombie BBQ and I got up to the fairground boss and couldn't beat it.;(
Re: Join Forces With this Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker 2 Trailer
@ryanthehedgehog: Dude, they're not sprites. They are full 3D models, this game(and its prequel) are much more impressive than Pokémon.
Re: This is Your Mario Kart 7 Logo and Artwork
It's clearly based on the Formula 1 logo:

Re: Twinbee is Your Next 3D Classic on 3DS
Huh nice might check this out. Still not interested in Urban Champion though!
Re: Review: Let's Golf! 3D (3DSWare)
@Corbs: I'm sorry but I'd much rather have Golden Sun on 3DS... wait were Camelot even the developer of the later Mario Golf games?

Re: Review: Let's Golf! 3D (3DSWare)
A six is definitely fair, there's some issues that shouldn't be there.
Re: Nintendo Download: 4th August 2011 (Europe)
This is a meh week. Game Gear games should be coming some time this month though.
Re: Rune Factory 3 Sprouts in Europe in September
I might get RF3 but I'd prefer RF4... what to do?
Re: Kid Icarus Definitely Slips to 2012 in Europe
I can live with it but what the heck does NOE have against Sakurai!?

Re: Nintendo Download: 28th July 2011 (North America)

Re: Nintendo Download: 28th July 2011 (North America)

Re: Nintendo Download: 28th July 2011 (North America)
Lets Golf is 1500 blocks!
Re: NES and Game Boy Advance Games Coming to 3DS Virtual Console
@9 The 3DS menu expands when you fill it up. As long as you have space on your SD card you're good to go.
Re: NES and Game Boy Advance Games Coming to 3DS Virtual Console
I'm more than happy with this. I got to have the 3DS early, build up a library(and play some awesome games) and now I'll be getting 10 free NES and 10 GBA games... I'm cool with that. Plus there will be a ton more people to streetpass and play multiplayer with!
Re: 3DS Drops to $169.99 from 12th August
I only paid £199.99 for my 3DS but if it means I get 10 free NES games and 10 free GBA games I'm more than happy. Bring on the good times.

Re: Nintendo Download: 28th July 2011 (Europe)
@ToadFan: Huh, £5.40 is $5.99.
Also I'm intrigued by Lets Golf 3D... mainly because the iphone version is over 300mb so it might tell us how big eShop games can be.
Re: You'll Get Your First 3DSWare Game Next Week
@pixelman I though the Asphalt games are considered their best?(apart from Asphalt 3D funnily enough)
Re: Pyramids is a New Game Coming to the 3DS eShop
Interestingly on their Youtube page it says coming this summer... so if it is indeed for summer it has to come in the next 5 weeks or so.
Hope more eShop goodness is announced in the coming weeks.
Re: First Impressions: Heroes of Ruin
Can't wait for this game. It looks awesome!
Re: Hopes for CRUSH3D to Launch This Year Have Been Crushed
@wariowoods The PSP version is a lot darker, and twisted. They kiddified it for the Nintendo audience.
