Honestly, not really. The only game boy games Id be even remotely interested in are the early Pokmon games.

Links Awakening would have been interesting if it wasnt for the remake. Tetris is great but available on smartphones so really no need.

Not really. Kind of interested in replaying Minish Cap but eh. Mario Land 2 is a nostalgia blast for me, though. But it's also really fucking easy. >_>

But if Nintendo gives us an official port of Mother 3 I'll fucking lose it. Wont happen, but imagine lol.

It'll be cool to play Minish Cap for the first time. And I assume they'll put the oracles on there at some point

Don't care about GBA. Yes to GB though. Just need Alleyway and Mario Land 1. Kirby, Tetris, and Mario Land 2 were my life.

It's nice that they added GBA games, but it's very lame that it's exclusive to their premium tier subscription service...

It wouldn't be that BIG of a deal to me had it been offered on their base subscription... But damn

Anyways Super Mario Bros 3, Mario Kart Super Circuit and Mario and Luigi Super Star Saga are some of my favorite games on the GBA.

Would love to see some shining souls 2 and zone of enders on here. Along with Pokemon Pinball for both the GBA and GBC apps! I would dump my savings just for pokemon Pinball.

Id like it if they were just added to the eshop, but having to pay a monthly fee to get access to them is a no go for me.

When golden sun comes out I will be, I might try the mario and Luigi and mimish, never played either of those I tried using my gba a couple years ago and the lack of back light made it rather miserable to go back to.

Best way to play GBA games is a DS Lite or N3dsXL cuz they don't emulate like the switch does; they run off native hardware

No

It's just Nintendo being lazy af

They should have all this shit on Switch out of the box

They don't even have anything cool like scans of the instruction manuals or concept art or ANYTHING

A year or two ago I went digging for my old GB carts of Mario Land 1 and 2, and was really disappointed to find that I'd apparently lost them. So...I guess I'm half-excited? Hopefully SML1 is in the works.

Seems like a good opportunity to play Minish Cap though; I also skipped the Oracle games, which are apparently in the works as well.

Nope. I can already play it any way any form I want. Big screen, portable, controller, keyboard, arcade stick without buying shitty hardware

If it gets more people to experience Mario and Luigi: Superstar Saga, that's good enough for me. But for me it doesn't seem worth it to get the Expansion Pack.

Hoping for some Castlevania.

Wouldnt mind FF6 either. People have their criticisms of that version but personally I love the bestiary and extra content.

Don't get your hopes up for 3rd-party games. Those 3rd-parties are smart enough to go for direct sales.

Yeah, there ain't no way we're getting decent 3rd party games. Especially FF6 which has a remaster coming out soon.

Localize Fire Emblem: Binding Blade, you cowards!

But yes, I am excited. I like the idea of being able to play GB/GBA games both handheld and on a big TV.

Not as of now. I'm a little miffed that they wouldn't even put Pokemon games that were on the GBA, considering that's supposed to be the "premium" experience.

This. I would've preferred more N64 games added or a Gamecube game service instead.

I mean yeah you could...
But personally IMO having a DS and R4 card is the way to do so if one decides to ever go that "alternative means"

I gotta imagine with the release of the remake, it's going to be a long, long time, if ever, before they put the originals on there.

I'll use the Wii U if I want to play GBA games.

That being said, if they release Gen 3 of Pokemon, and they added the previously Japan-exclusive Mew event in Emerald, that would give me the opportunity to shiny hunt Mew. That might convince me to get it.
