[ferofax]

The 10 NES Virtual Console games are as follows:

Super Mario Bros.™
Donkey Kong Jr.™
Balloon Fight™
Ice Climber™
The Legend of Zelda™
Metroid™
NES Open Tournament Golf
Wrecking Crew
Zelda II - The Adventure of Link
Yoshi

Not too exciting. But Metroid should prove fun.

This was actually confirmed in the JPN post by someone, but not a bad thing to post it like this. Maybe merge all into one since the games are the same for the EU release also

Ehhhh, am I the only one who thinks thy even with these and the GBA titles that we (ho bought the 3DS early) are not getting our $80 worth?

 

[_Chaz_]

What do you mean "Not too exciting"?
These are top quality titles, and I was expecting them to be some obscure titles no one ever heard of.

Probably not, but the worth of these games altogether is more than that of $80, and moreover it was pretty obvious that Nintendo would preform a price drop soon after release, we only have ourselves to blame.

I like them all except for:

NES Open Tournament Golf
Zelda II - The Adventure of Link
Yoshi

Oh well, 7 [good] free games is still neat. Not to mention, we still have the GBA games coming eventually. If they don't include Pokemon Sapphire/Ruby/Emerald, THEN I'll be pissed.

Meh , I was hoping for Earthbound Zero

Meh , I was hoping for Earthbound Zero

Not a chance in hell, knowing Nintendo.

Maybe for a Mother1/2/3 collection in something like 12 years.

MAYBE.

We'll get a Famicom Wars and Fire Emblem collection before we get a Mother collection.

We'll get a Famicom Wars and Fire Emblem collection before we get a Mother collection.

And those will take their time. Probably right after the PS63, XBOX 720 and WiiiiiiU have been released. :3

The lack of Kirby is sorely disappointing.
Maybe they're leaving that for the GBA remake.

 

[dgwillia]

Bleh...was hoping for Kirby. But whatever, i never finished Zelda 2 before, and always wanted to play through Metroid again, so whatever.

Forget everything you know about Zelda games when you play Zelda 2.
Aside from playing as Link, and using a sword, there's no familiar gameplay mechanics or characters.

Hell, the game has an EXP system.

 

[chyyran]

Well, It's not that bad..

@RupeeClock
Yeah, Zelda 2 really isn't Zelda. Also,


I AM ERROR

 

[DarkStriker]

Most likely what Europe will get too.

At least the 3DS VC has true save states not just a temporary suspend point. Ok, so it only has one state slot and you have to use a key combination to enable it (because loading a state will overwrite your in game SRAM save) but they actually did it. I wonder if they will add manual frameskip/overclocking to the Wii U VC or if that will come to the 3DS too.

 

[RupeeClock]

FYI, the early NES releases will not have save states, just the suspending.
We get the full features later for free, when they make them commercially available.

 

[BoxmanWTF]

Think maybe, they might release just one GBA game soon just to let us know they're coming?
Or give us the full list of the GBA games too?
I hope they do one them

 

[Fear Zoa]

Balloon Fight!?!?!?! ...and some other stuff

 

[SamAsh07]

Why are people not happy at Zelda II? Is it really that bad??

Coming to the list, all of them are good enough for me. And getting Zelda I & II is a big bonus for me because I've never played these titles of Zelda. Well I wasn't a fan of Zelda back then, always thought it's some lame ass over-rated Nintendo game, but after playing OoT, TP and abit of MC, my thought of it sucking averted.

It's a masterpiece franchise, and I could proudly keep all Zelda titles along with Shadow Of The Colossus
