For a short time, a Game Boy Advance emulator appeared in Apple’s App Store for $1.99. The emulator, which was disguised as a baby name generator application called “Awesome Baby Names,” made it possible to play Game Boy Advance games on an iPhone or iPod Touch without having to jailbreak the device. Don’t bother searching for Awesome Baby Names, as it has been rightfully removed today from the App Store and is no longer available for download. Are you itching to play Game Boy Advance titles? The Virtual Console service on Wii U will eventually offer Game Boy Advance games, so try to be patient!
That was some disguise name O.o
I know, right? LOL.
I like how you interact with the commenters Alba. =)
Alba is weak. I will crush him.
You know,there does exist girls in the internet,right?
You know there are girls in the real world. Try talking to one some time, I gurantee you’ll enjoy the experience.
uh huh,because i’m not the one mistaking girls for dudes ;)
I’m still a shameless virgin though, that’s why I talk about virgins all the time.

My friend, Alba :D
Crazy disguise name. Makes me wonder If there are others similar too it…o.O
on that note, lucky ambassadors and there GBA virtual console games -.-
I am lucky aren’t I, lol.
*hunts Mike S down thru reverse IP address tracking*
;p
0_0″ shit
Who would want to play games on the shitty, overpriced iOS products anyway?
Hmm it smells like… poverty.
dude GBA costs like 20 bucks, buy a r4 type cartridge then download free games
Well, rich people certainly don’t stay that way by wasting their money.
Me. Telltale games knows how to use the hardware well.
You play Nintendo and iOS? You thirsty for some casual moms, Jellybean?
As a side note, I give my Ipad for my cute little kitty to play games for cats. He’s My Sweet Sweet Cringer Cat, the most cutest kitty In the Universe.
I don’t even…
They’re making a new game! =D
First time I agree with you
Android and Samsung phones are MUCH better quality
Apple wants their phones to be well known for mobile gaming but then Sony android and Playstation came along to show them how a gaming phone is done.
I didnt know they removed those
I have a GBA, SNES and PS1 emulator on my phone.
Android for life, bitches!
Android Master Race
I have SNES, Genesis, GB, GBC, GBA, and NES emulator
I have NES, SNES (2x), N64(2x), GBA and Sega dreamcast emulators.
Android rulez and Apple zuckz iballz !!!
Oh and I have a PSP and 2 PS1 emulators too.
Cool story, pirate. I havevthe real thing.
Jumping to conclusions, much?
AHAHAHAHAAAA!
I’m sorry, but I find this hilarious!
All this time people have been saying “Phone games are gonna phase out handheld stuff! 3DS isn’t gonna get sales forever!”
And now we have someone who’s so desperate for better games, that they made an emulator for the app store to play GBA games.
Just pick up a damned DS or 3DS, people.
Quit being such cowards over what others think of you for having a dedicated gaming device!
Buy the device that gives you the games you want instead of worrying over whether people think you’re a kid for owning any specific system.
Only idiots and trolls are that judgmental.
This +1
Can’t wait for GBA games on my Wii U!!! I wonder if they’ll put Ruby, Sapphire and Emerald on it!?
Probably not, as Nintendo would not want to give out any pokémon if you can’t link.
i like your logic :P
If they do that… Oh boy. Then Wii U wins this gen without a competition.
^IKR!!
Well I also find it funny I have a GBA/NES/SNES emulator on my windows phone with skydrive support :P. Get off the iPhone and get a windows phone problem solved.
Meh most of the world plays them on emulators anyway. And paid? What lol. Hundreds of websites where you can get them for free. And a simple jailbreak on an iPhone can get you a emulator too.
ooooooooooh! :(
If they left that App up for any longer, there would of been a Nice Juicy Lawsuit for Nintendo to take Advantage of. XP
A emulator of gba in apple is notice, in android are already 20 emulators of gba LOL xD
nothing new, nothing intersting
even if they ban emulators on google play you’ll still be able to install them on android without jail breaking if you get it from another site because emulators are legal and on windows so google allows it
because android is an open platform you can just copy the apk to your device
That app is already far better than most of the games on there.
I loved the Angry Birds gag in Family Guy last night, it took a nice stab at phone games. He falls with a parachute and kills most of the pigs except one. It gives him that shit-eating grin and he says something like “Quit smiling. You know, most people playing this are taking a crap.” Not very relevant, but I can’t say I play my handhelds while I take a crap.
I think it’s kind of weird that Nintendo is putting GBA games on the Wii U.
I know right? Where is the GBA VC service on the 3DS?
the service was for Old ppl(like me) that bought the 3DS before the price cut
nintendo said they intented to implement but not soon
I think its because its harder to write emulator code for 3ds than it would be for wii u
It can definitely be done though, as there are already a few GBA games for ambassadors on 3DS.
Exactly. Putting originally portable games on a home console seems…unintuitive?
Anyway, you could always do things the old-fashioned way and just get no$gba for your PC. As a bonus, it serves as a DS emulator as well. Or get a GP2X Wiz, or whatever its current successor is…
Hurray for my red sp! Games are to be played on their own system
Hey pal, how’s the 20th century treating you?
Same here. I got a Gameboy Advance, SNES, and PS1 emulator on my Android. FF tactics and tactics advance in my pocket FTW!
Why is nintendo giving us GBA games on a wii u? Does no one else find it odd having to play games that were meant for a portable system on a home system? I think having them on a U is kind of pointless, bringing them to the 3DS would be a better move but whatever, Nintendo is kind of known for making really dumb decisions now .
What about the Super Gameboy and the Gameboy player ?
That’s different. If you owned GB games, you obviously owned a GB so you could still play your games outside your house.
If people have a real smartphone like an Android and not a poor glass excuse of an iPhone they can download emulators from anywhere in the web.
By the way APPLE IS IRRELEVANT in the phone and gaming market so they shouldn’t be seen as competition. They can compete with EA for the title as worst company in the universe.
Emulators on tablets are pretty good really, I got one on my Samsung-a-ma-jig tablet.
I doubt Nintendo will bring every single Megaman Battle network game to the 3ds virual shop, and it’s too expensive to actually buy the cartridges, which is indeed a pity.
I do miss buttons though, poor buttons.
I play mother 3 on an Android phone :/
See this is why android is better. Apps like this aren’t blocked and there is no need t jailbreak!
Android for the win! I have emulators for GB, GBA, DS, NES, SNES, & N64. I only emulate titles that I have physical copies of, just so you know.
I’ll just play on my game boy color. Purple see through =)
We don’t want GBA games on the Wii U, we want em on the fucking 3DS MATE!
I want to get laid.
We all do.
It doesn’t make sense why they removed it.. Emulators are legal, just not the roms. And I mean it’s not like this will hurt much of the business especially if gba games are very cheap and sort of old I think. And especially if you probably already bought a game, and download it again. :P
Update: I read the article, I notice it had roms in it so that could be why.
How can you possibly play GBA games on an iPod Touch / iPad? NO BUTTONS!!!!!!
I still want to have the ambassador games on my 3DS, for a price, of course. It’s been long enough and the exclusivity to players who bought the system earlier is a little annoying at this point. I would have bought a 3DS earlier if I knew that was going to happen.
I love how this article has created an Apple vs Samsung argument…
I’ll bring it back nooblet…AH! Download all of the baby name apps. I know they removed it…But they’re too sneaky to let this one slip ;)

It was a wonderful game that faithfully recreated a console Zelda adventure, but allowed you to take it on the go with you.
Comments: The long awaited sequel to the iconic
Deus Ex, a game that received tons of awards and accolades
for its “pioneering designs in player choice and multiple narrative paths”.
Within a few moments, the Pokemon will download to your saved file.
Like any other card, it requires the Supercard DSTWO firmware to function effectively.
Conversely, Princess Toadstool is the slowest at running and picking up items, but can float through the air for
a short distance.

While Evil Zone didn’t do anything groundbreaking in terms of its mechanics as a fighting game, it definitely has a permanent
spot as one of the most unique ones out there.
However, it just straight game purchases without counting digital upgrades are tallied,
then Battlefield 4 earned the number one spot on the Playstation 4.
In some cases, they are not finished until long after anyone who knew
the original creator had long passed.
