They're not going to bive out Pokemon RSE when they're next in line to be remade.

I do not like Nintendos rom dumps at all...IMO they are worthless and I pretty much will not pay the price they asking for them.

But i think a rom dump set of pokemon leading all the way to the DS line leading to a all new pokemon would be a really solid move. That I would consider buying just to marathon them all, get my collection up and roll right into a full 3ds pokemon.

Im not even a pokefan...I played/beat red, played 10 seconds of every one after that and played/beat Black

Although it's probably wishful thinking, it's entirely possible you will be able to transfer but you'll just have to wait until the system is in place and the games are actually available on the store. Like what happened with DSiWare.

And that's the thing: At this point, it does seem like pretty wishful thinking.

I just hope I can transfer my Wii Virtual Console games to the Wii U, and then hopefully be able to play them in HD resolutions without rebuying them.

Here in Chile a store has already made the price drop...

Great chance to get it and also the free games.

Same in Canada. Costco dropped the price to $169.

Neuromancer · Jul 30, 2011

Do we have even a rough idea when these games are supposed to become available?

Edit: never mind I see, 9/1 supposedly

The NES games are here September 1st, and the GBA games will arrive by the end of 2011.

Says the press release.

Neuromancer · Jul 30, 2011

Thanks guys

Roto13 · Jul 30, 2011

But you know how this thread/the new thread is going to be. On August 12th, every tenth post will be "Where are the NES games? What do I do to get the NES games? Why is Nintendo screwing up the NES games?"

Then September 1st will be "I got the NES games but where are the GBA games? Do I only get to pick between NES games and GBA games and I can't get both? If I email Nintendo can I switch from the NES games to the GBA games?"

thepotatoman · Jul 30, 2011

For GBA I'm going to guess its going to be between these 7 games:

Advance Wars
Donkey Kong Country
Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land
Mario Golf: Advance Tour
F-Zero: Maximum Velocity
Wario Land 4
Fire Emblem

Realistic worst case list IMO would include

Mario Pinball Land
Pokémon Pinball: Ruby & Sapphire
Dr. Mario & Puzzle League
DK: King of Swing
Yoshi Topsy-Turvy
Pokémon Mystery Dungeon
Mario Party Advance

JazzmanZ · Jul 31, 2011

am I the only one who liked Donkey kong king of swing?

friskykillface · Jul 31, 2011

Whoa, Mario pinball land is alright, I got it today and I'm having a blast with it.

Now I hope they give everyone that

Emitan · Jul 31, 2011

If they give us Pokemon Mystery Dungeon I will murder someone. Especially if we don't get Advance Wars, Fire Emblem, or Mario & Luigi.

Let me just say to you the above games are brilliant:

DK: King of Swing
Pokemon Pinball..

The rest, yeah okay I totally agree with.

No it's pretty good in my opinion.

Yoshi Topsy Turvy is awful though.

Shotgun Kiss · Jul 31, 2011

I hope we don't get DKC. I love the SNES version, but the GBA port isn't that great.

Though that said, I'd much rather have DKC than certain other GBA games (Mario Party Advance, Mario Pinball, Yoshi Topsy Turvy, etc).

Mihael Mello Keehl · Jul 31, 2011

could one be superstar saga? Im really hoping for fire emblem though.nintendo you see?

AceBandage · Jul 31, 2011

I'd love for SSS to be one of the games.
I never played it.

friskykillface · Jul 31, 2011

Pinball!!!!!

You guys will see, its good B^)

If they do give superstar saga, you'll be in for a treat, it's really fun

Emitan · Jul 31, 2011

I've just started another playthrough of MLSS. I really hope it's one of the games so more people will play it.

Jo Shishido's Cheeks · Jul 31, 2011

I'm so happy with the first 5 GBA titles that I really don't care what the other 5 might be!
Same can't be said for the NES picks but Mario and Zelda are great at least.
I'm surprised Nintendo are being so generous, still feels like I'm missing something here...

Did you miss the part about them being ashamed of their handheld, and offering these old games as forgiveness?

Dreamwriter · Jul 31, 2011

They are offering the games to keep folks from making a huge deal that they paid $250 for a $170 game system. It's pre-emptive damage control.

Jo Shishido's Cheeks · Jul 31, 2011

Yeah I'd expect for them to do something, but that expected something would've been like a carry case and download voucher for the original Mario Bros knowing Nintendo, so them giving us 20 games which are amongst the best in the history of two of their platforms is very generous imo.

Now the NES and GBA will be joining VC, they'd better ramp up the original GB releases quickly! After giving me Yoshi's Island for free, I'm hardly gonna be fiending to pay for Alleyway and similar titles

Dreamwriter · Jul 31, 2011

SonicMegaDrive said:
That's so strange that they would never offer Metroid Fusion or Wario Ware to the public.

Maybe some remakes or semi-remakes are in the works for several of these titles?

You're thinking of the games, I'm betting Nintendo is thinking of the *system*. I'd bet Nintendo has no plans yet to add GBA to the Virtual Console, not for a couple years at least. Once they do add GBA then yes they'll offer these games, though I seriously doubt they'll release them all at once.

Never played that but Jungle Climber was pretty good.

Neuromancer · Jul 31, 2011

Is it just me, or do the NES graphics sort of hold up better than the GBA graphics?

Do you not understand the question or are you disagreeing
with me?

Piercedveil · Jul 31, 2011

I can't wait to get all these games. So 9/1 is when we are probably getting them? I haven't played many of the games listed so that's pretty cool.

I would kill for Pokemon Pinball as a DL title. If Nintendo was willing to be extra generous and add online leader boards, it would eat all my time.

hardcastlemccormick · Jul 31, 2011

I bet they're browsing NeoGAF for votes on what other games to throw in there.

Quick everybody lets spam Advance Wars.

But you know how this thread/the new thread is going to be.

I wouldn't argue against the topic name being:

Official "Free" NES/GBA games for 3DS thread - Beta NES: 9/1, GBA: 2011?

9/1 is when we are getting the NES games. The GBA games are coming "by the end of the year".

Mario Kart Advance!

I like you, Nintendo. I like you.

Pretty much this.

GBA looks way better than NES games.

Javier · Jul 31, 2011

I skipped on the vast majority on the GBA's library, so all these games will be mostly new to me.

Mario Vs. DK (Never played it)
Metroid Fusion (Never played it)
WarioWare MM Inc. (Never played it)
Yoshi's Island: SMA3 (Only played the SNES version)
Mario Kart Super Circuit (Played it, but not to completion)

Neuromancer · Jul 31, 2011

Hmm OK. Guess I'm just crazy then!

My mind is colored by GBA played with an Afterburner which was neat but didn't serve the colors well. And some GBA used 3Dish tricks that help function but could be ugly compared to what was done then or years before. NES games will tend to be strong in your memory due to sharp 2D graphics coming from a CRT screen that lit a youngster up in the dark.

Piercedveil · Jul 31, 2011

Sorry if this is a little off topic. If I get a bigger SD card so I can have all of these games and tons of space left, how do I transfer the stuff from my current card to the new one?

forknknife · Jul 31, 2011

why not give us credit so we can purchase 20 games of our choice, Nintendo? Why are you like this?

Just copy and paste the folders over.

MasterShotgun · Jul 31, 2011

I can't wait to play Mario Kart. I played the shit out of it, but I lost the cartridge years ago. It was easily one of my favorite MK games, largely because it had all of the original SNES tracks. The new courses were good too.

lunchwithyuzo · Jul 31, 2011

My random guesses for the 5 remaining...

NES
-Donkey Kong
-Kid Icarus: Angel Land Story
-Wario's Woods
-Wrecking Crew
-Super Mario Bros. 2 (import)

GBA
-Advance Wars
-F-Zero: Maximum Velocity
-Kirby: Nightmare in Dreamland
-Pokémon Pinball: Ruby & Sapphire
-Kurukuru Kururin (import)

Then they'd have to pay for every third party game anyone buys with the credit.

BY2K · Jul 31, 2011

There's gonna be a Zelda game on the list of GBA giveaways, I'm sure, the question is: Which one? ALTTP or MC?

I want MC, really.

Piercedveil · Jul 31, 2011

Pokemon Pinball game would make me happy. I also hope Minish Cap is on there, since I've never played it.

hoverboarder · Jul 31, 2011

It was god awful. But I mastered the shit out of it. Bought it in eight grade two weeks before the system launched and every day waiting for the system to drop seemed like eternity.

SO happy for Metroid Fusion (one of my favorite games ever) and Mario Kart Advance. The other three announced are also all good choices.

IF there is a GBA Zelda game, it has to be MC. LTTP is already on the eShop.
