  1. This is good. I used to have a Gameboy Color but it had a cracked LCD. I wonder, what kind of effect would playing on the 3DS’ upper screen have on these old games?

  2. Well when I had a GBA I was too young to know there were “good games” from the….. (gasp) GBC/GB era! Therefore I only had one GBA game and that was Silver; so I’m pretty excited about this opportunity to experience the classics I never got to play.

    1. I wouldn’t be criticizing the 3DS, when I heard about all the features of the PSP2, I wanted to call it a DS and iPhone rip off, with a possible higher price tag.

    2. If you think DS sucks, then why did you even bother clicking onto this webpage that is to do with Nintendo 3DS, you obviously have a burning curiosity to see something Nintendo. You can’t even get the system right, it’s a 3DS they’re talking about not a DS!

      1. Stop feeding the troll.

        Can’t you tell by his name, terrible spelling, and all-caps mentality that he’s just trying to anger you?

    3. 1/10 for effort
      0/10 for originality
      5/10 for succeeding in getting people to post

      Overall: 2/10 – would recommend more practice.

  3. If only they would confirm GBA games for 3DS VC. I’m still wondering that, and there are a lot I’d like to see come back. Regardless, probably going to get LA DX sometime.

  4. A while ago, they announced they *might* do some GBA games on the 3DS’ VC. I can see it at around the same amount of N64 games on Wii’s VC.

    “# 3DS Virtual Console for Game Boy, Game Boy Color, and maybe Game Boy Advance titles.
    # 3DS online service will sell Game Boy, Game Boy Color, Game Boy Advance, Classic Games in 3D, DSiWare, and 3DS (ware?) titles.”

  5. Wait didn’t they say the virtual console wouldn’t be available at launch a couple weeks ago? Well anyway it sounds cool how they’ve added Game Boy Color too it, hopefully they’ll release the oracle zelda games as well

  6. I don’t think this is confirmed anymore. Seeing as the source got its source from IGN and IGN has since rescinded the original announcement. What a shame!

  7. I heard reports after E3 that Nintendo was also showing off some Nintendo Classics with 3D effects. I really wanna see that.

    Also, completely psyched for LA DX. Never got a chance to play that game

  8. Warioland Trilogy please Nintendo. Will the old black and white games be upgraded to colour or otherwise be using some basic colour like the effect the Gameboy Color had on them?
