Mikey Posted September 29, 2006 Posted September 29, 2006 This is probably a stupid question, but will you be able to download GBA games on the virtual console? I know you can download N64 games, Snes games and others, but I've seen no mention of GBA games. Cheers.
Teppo Holmqvist Posted September 29, 2006 Posted September 29, 2006 I know you can download N64 games, Snes games and others, but I've seen no mention of GBA games. Not officially, but there was some rumours around European conference that Nintendo could be bringing Mother 3 only in Virtual console format to the western countries. Same batch of rumours also said that Wii would get Commodore 64 and Amiga 500 games. Commodore 64 games have been confirmed by Epyx, which actually raises reliability of this rumour.
shade Posted September 29, 2006 Posted September 29, 2006 No and I douubt you will for Wii, probably for Nintendo's next handheld though.
Nintendork Posted September 29, 2006 Posted September 29, 2006 I would hope not personally. I wouldn't mind for the GB:Evolution.. but not for the Wii.
*Dalco* Posted September 29, 2006 Posted September 29, 2006 doubt it due to the GBA still being considered as a current console therefore can still shift the games via the stores
Librarian Posted September 29, 2006 Posted September 29, 2006 well as for the Gba games im not that excited about it.. not if they are going to charge me for it.. and the C64 games.. hell you can buy a disc with an c64 emulator and thousand of games for nothing... and it's legal They would have to be darn cheap if I shoul be interested

As much as I would like to see Mother 3 here - I doubt it will happen.
Konfucius Posted September 29, 2006 Posted September 29, 2006 I think Ninty will actually try to cash in on GBA games for a while since the DS also has a GBA slot. But it would be cool if they let us download GB© games.
Blue_Ninja0 Posted September 30, 2006 Posted September 30, 2006 GBa will definitely not, at least in the beginning. But GB and GBC games are very well possible, since they are not commercialized anymore. And would it be a nice extra if we could download them to the DS?

I know you can download N64 games, Snes games and others, but I've seen no mention of GBA games. Cheers. Not a stupid question! Although I haven't heard of any announcements, I'd say that GBA titles wont make the virtual console library. The GBA isnt considered 'dead' yet. (I use the term loosely, so please dont jump up and down raving about it!!!), and there are still GBA games in production. Whereas consoles like the N64 and the Megadrive are finished. But in saying this, I think that original GB games would be quite possible!
flameboy Posted September 30, 2006 Posted September 30, 2006 I'd love it if they brought some original GB games. links awakening, super mario land 1+2... tetris (the colour version arguably still the best version)right I'm gonna stop before I really start going on there are so many great games!
