    Bingo. 'We will also be offering Nintendo 64 and GameBoy Advance games for Wii U Virtual Console soon', said Iwata in January this year.

    I thought Capcom lost the code for the GB games.. That's why they couldn't release the anniversary eddition.


    Could be that the GB games they submitted are horribly bugged.

    All of them except Xtreme 2 are released on the eshop in japan, and that's probably hitting next month. They all work perfectly. I'm fairly sure they don't need the source code for the GB games, as they don't need to port them like they would have needed to do on the GBA. They just have to submit the rom in the proper format.

    Best Buy has eShop cards on sale. 20% off.

    since i've been wanting to pick up Phoenix Wright, guess now's the best time.

    So with my birthday coming up, I asked for a 2DS (being that it's cheaper and I don't care much for the 3D Feature) and A Link Between Worlds.

    However I won't be too surprised if I end up with neither, being that no one in my family is in a very good financial position...Yet another reason I need a job...

    Basically, it is for those with and without a Wii U.
    It adds the ability to share eShop credit between the two stores, and adds Nintendo Network ID's to the 3DS (like gamertags).
    The big thing for just 3DS owners is Miiverse, which is like a forum/Facebook kind of application, where you can send messages, ask for hints, send hints, talk about each game in its community, and send in game screenshots simply by going to the home menu and selecting the Miiverse icon.
