Not that much of a problem IMO.
Besides, with the release of the New 3DS I'd bet that there's enough power to run them with the system features if they were to bother with it, but it's probably too close to a new handheld to put any effort into 3DS Virtual Console releases.
Hopefully if any portion of the NX is a handheld system then hopefully it'll have a unified eShop and I can get digital GBA games on a portable system
One thing that Mario Maker doesn't have yet that this does is Super Mario Bros 2 content like turnips added to those e-reader levels.Fresh Mario content. We do kind of have Mario Maker for that now admittedly, but this is still official stuff.
I'll be right disappointed if they don't include the Japanese levels!
This is awesome info. Great post.I find it interesting the Boomerang design and item came from the eReader card levels.
Blue with white stripes.
A lot of people might assume the power up comes from Mario 3D Land, but nope, first appeared here.
The way the item works in Smash Bros is also more similar to the GBA version, than the 3D Land/World version.
Kind of cool that a rather obscure new power up managed to continue on and even made it into a 3D game. And Smash Bros. And Mario Kart.
If it includes all the Japanese ones, buy. Otherwise, pass.
If I got it right, according GameXplain it will.
Either way, I think this and Pokémon Red/Blue/Yellow on 3DS could mean something interesting for future Virtual Console releases in terms of extra features.
Zack and Wiki is as well
Their wasn't enough processing oomph to run them properly. At least before the n3DS. And I don't think they're gonna invest that much in them if they'd only run on a fragment of the 3DS market.
Sucks, but thems the breaks.
It feels like Nintendo is really hitting its stride with the VC stuff and releasing constant quality now on a weekly basis. It's strange as many are anticipating the NX for this year or early next year.
Why didn't they do this at the start of the Wii U's life??
Were the hallowed eReader levels good? Despite having an eReader and Super Mario Advance 1 through 3, I never got around to buying SMA4: SMB3 (what a title)
They were VERY good, they did things that no other mario game had done before. The mechanics of mixing all the games together was great, the levels were like all the worlds had collided. Plus using the additional modifiers using the E switches to add even more game changing fun like making the game even harder.
Pretty cool that they are adding the E-reader stuff but i wouldn't hold my breath for any of the promo levels from corocoro or the B dash de kakenukero level. Not sure if the are adding the switches and if so how will they even work, if they are going to be added to the rom. The switches required you to scan the card to turn them on & off.
Back in the day the e-reader was totally my thing i collected the hell out of it, have many complete sets of cards for the thing. I would have picked this new re-release up but i already have a complete set of Jp e-reader cards so not really much point in getting this for me. But if anyone hasn't enjoyed the weirdness of the e levels then hell yeah go for it you won't be dissappointed
Still have my boxes of unopened cards along with a binder that contains all my treasured complete sets. Man i miss e-reader cards Amiibo cards are the closest thing now.
My binder of e goodness

They did blind packs for the levels? Oh, that's evil.
Awesome collection! How are the Pikmin cards? I've always desperately wanted to try that game.
more of this is always good
Man, what's with all of the VC games looking so damn dark?
I wonder if it's all of them, or just the ones released in the US.

The levels got pretty nuts.
Yes, that's Mario Bros 3 with Mario Bros 2 Turnip pulling, with Mario World Charging Chucks. Makes Mario Maker look tame by comparison.

I think it's because actual new releases are drying up, so they're trying to pad out the lineup.
Fascinating that this boots the Gameboy Player logo.
Does that mean anything?
Am I remembering wrong or didn't the complete collection never even make it to the US? They only released like 75% of it or something, no?

Not really. Every GBA game compatible with the Game Boy Player does this (Superstar Saga and Pokemon Pinball are two others I have) but all that did for those games was add rumble when playing on a GameCube. The Wii U Virtual Console games don't rumble, but I suppose they theoretically could.
Regular games like, say, Zero Mission just use the regular GBA bootup screen.
I was thinking of Zero Mission,
What did/does GBA Player compatible mean?
The Game Boy Player was an adapter that allowed you to play GBA, GB, and GBC games on the Gamecube (I assume you already knew this).
Certain GBA titles had added functionality (such as rumble) when you played them on this device.

Why wouldn't they?
Seems silly do that.
