    They really should. I have the 10 ambassador games, but there are still some of the better games that should be on the VC.

    Mario & Luigi Superstar Saga
    Golden Sun
    Pokemon
    Fire Emblem (original not sacred stones)
    Super Mario Remakes
    Advance Wars
    Castlevania

    I still don't know what Nintendo is thinking and I want to know oh so badly. Why not put games like Pokemon on the eShop? They're no longer making and selling those games, are they opposed to making more money? It just doesn't make any sense to me.

    It really seems like they are missing an opportunity by not expanding the VC in general. There are tons of old games on all kinds of old Nintendo system that sell for over five bucks, cartridge-only on eBay. As I see it, Nintendo could make a few bucks off that transaction or some eBay seller can. But, hey, why give people what they want and increase attatch rates to your device when you can make less money holding out?

    Whats with all these GB games on the eShop? Where the hell is GBA, NES, and SNES? I dont understand it at all. Sure mabey they feel they dont have enough staff to do these conversions with Nintendo busy working on 3DS and Wii U titles. But cant they hire more staff just to make these titles happen on the eShop? There are alot of out of work industry people. I suspect the real reason they dont give us more of the games we want is that they have some kind of grand scheme for how they want all these released over the course of a 5, 10, or even 20 year period (obviously on future systems). Too bad as I feel certain generations are completely missing out on some great legacy titles.

    Nintendo are being stupid to not put these on the e-shop, everyone knows Nintendo would drown in money if GBA/SNES games were on the e-shop, what kind of crack are they smoking to not want to do this?

    I'd definitely buy Pokemon Sapphire and FireRed, and for Zelda I'd get A Link to the Past and Minish Cap.

    Exactly. It actually makes me angry thinking about it. I guess Nintendo doesn't want my money, because they'd have a ton of it were they to put GBA games on the eShop.

    I don't know why Nintendo hasn't implemented GBA games yet on the eShop. Havin Advance Wars, Pokémon, Fire Emblem, Drill Dozer and a lot more on the go would be great.

    That would be cool. Also, there are those old SNES games that some people haven't had a chance touch, right? Like Secrets of Mana, and other RPGs that were good at their time.
