Support NeoGAF

It would make too much sense to put them there, so Nintendo won't do it.

I just want NeoGeo Pocket Color and Turbo Express games.

I also want them to release games for the platforms that are on VC. There's no reason I shouldn't be able to turn on my 3DS and play Ghost Babel, Zelda Oracles or Final Fantasy Legends...

What a load of BS. Honestly, it leaves me doubting their plans if they insist on even holding BACK games from their already tepid pool of e-shop games to begin with.

Yeah.

And I'd still love to have a way to link my Wii purchases with my 3DS, as there's no technical reason why I couldn't be playing all my SNES purchases on there.

 

[totowhoa]

I lost my ambassador 3DS so had the games and now with my XL do not. Pissed.

That sucks. Nintendo transferred my ambassador status when I lost mine. I had the original box though so I cut out the product code and mailed it as proof, then they flipped a switch and I could suddenly download the games.

TL;DR -- GBA games aren't emulated, they are run natively, so they CAN'T improve the emulator. It doesn't exist.

EDIT: This also partially explains why they took so long getting them out (till December!). They were probably TRYING to make a full speed, zero errors GBA emulator that could be run on the 3DS, but when it failed resorted to just virtual cart'ing the games and sending them out that way. I do remember reading something along the lines of them having some troubles working the emulator, and Nintendo likes their emulators to run games PERFECTLY, not mostly good.

That's one of the reasons I like the VC so much. The emulation is basically perfect.

And it might be why GBA games aren't for sale on the 3DS. You can't even close the system and put it into sleep mode while playing GBA games.

Screw the GBA library don't do this

Where's the Virtual Boy library?!

I know. Why haven't they released a Virtual Boy Virtual Console? I wanna play the Wario Land game.

And they should release the 3D Famicom games too. At least Sega is starting to release some of it's older 3D games.

My Ambassador games are the only things keeping me from selling my OG 3DS in favor of an XL. If I could just purchase Metroid Fusion, Fire Emblem, and Minish Cap I would do it.

I bought an XL in August, and transferred my Ambassador games over to my XL.

Just don't sell your original 3DS until AFTER you do the transfer.

 

[Macho Madness]

This is still crap.

 

[MrNyarlathotep]

Some of them ARE on the Eshop.

just not the 3DS Eshop.

Annoyingly I don't get the special offer discount for them like I do with my Wii VC purchases though.

 

[The Lamonster]

This is still crap.

I'm an ambassador, and I agree.

 

[Jomjom]

I wish i had bought the 3ds sooner and been an ambassador.

Nice bump just to tell everyone what has already been said ad nauseum in this and countless other threads.
