I'd rather take Neo Geo Pocket/Color support. We need Sonic the Hedgehog Pocket Adventure.
Metal Slug First Mission on a screen I can actually see. Yes, please.
Meh. I already own one and all the games worth owning. There are, like, 8. I don't own an Atari Lynx.
Good point. I was shocked when I played my NCPC for the first time. About a year ago.
Since i'm for some reason not able to make new threads, i might pop this here and see if someone wants to make a thread for it

I can't believe I'm still asking this months later, after the game's SEQUEL is out in Europe but....what the hell is going on with epicross in the US?
You are not the only one asking this question.
Serious question. What would it cost them?

I have to assume there's some manner of copyright or legal issue by this point, because I can't see any other explanation.
Uhh...I don't know. :/ ESRB for digital titles is free and takes about 15 minutes (PEGI needs to catch up), they already have the dev kit...all they need to do is submit it to NoA, really.
Isn't that just for mobile/cell games? Handhelds still need to get full cert, I do believe.
Yep. On Wii, only double-dipped on Super Metroid. Would double-dip on tons for portable versions of them, though.
The ESRB revamped it a while back so all you need to do is fill out a checklist online and you'll get the rating back in literally 15 min, and it's free.
Sega's still OFLC-rating all these games, so they clearly plan to bring them out eventually, I just wonder why they stopped in the first place. NA didn't get a single GG game past those initial three, did it?
I think it's mostly because NOA are totally inept at doing anything. Shouldn't the VC system be a lot like iTunes, with the ability to get almost any old games, within limits, at any given time? From what I can tell, the Japanese VC is a lot more like this. Shit, just give me a ton of them at once but I know I'm preaching to the choir on that front.

Yeah, SEGA's paid a shitload to have a bunch of Game Gear VC games classified by the OFLC, but for whatever reason hasn't followed through by actually bothering to release them outside of Japan.
I mean, Master of Darkness was rated almost a full year ago and still isn't out.

There's a lot of Nintendo's overall strategy with the 3DS eShop that makes little sense.
At first they wanted it to focus on handheld rereleases. GB/GBC/GG. Not long after they started adding Famicom games, which sorta defeats that "vision", but still seem pretty uninterested in extending it to SNES games or other consoles.
And if they want to have a handheld focus on 3DS VC, where are they GBA games? Yes, yes, Ambassador Program and all that. That was years ago now.
Sometimes they just feel like underachievers.
EDIT: Oh, and Sega? I'd really like those 3D Arcade Classics released outside of Japan.
All the 3D Classics have been released in the US. They only made so many of them.

Those are what I was referring to. Not a part of Nintendo's official (discontinued already?) line of 3D Classics, but Sega's arcade ports. Space Harrier, Super Hang-On being the first two.

Something happened with them for sure, last year when they had the summer of retro promotion, the Game Gear games that PAL has that aren't out on the NA eShop were meant to come to NA, they were announced and shown in the promo video but quietly disappeared for some reason.
I can only assume there's some bureaucratic reason for the delays and that they're just pushing them into different sales windows in order to make their expenditure seem more balanced or something.
If it I wanted to be really optimistic I'd say they temporarily diverted their energies so that they could ensure that all their Wii VC releases would be ready to go on Wii U the moment the VC arrives...
I made this thread (http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=530403) in an attempt to paint a clearer picture of why some people succeed in recovering their digital purchases on Nintendo platforms, while others fail. Hopefully if enough respond, it will prove to be insightful. If this pertains to you, please reply!
Tails Adventure! What a nice surprise. Will buy, day 1.

That's Sega's decision, not Nintendo's. Blame them.
I know that and I do.
Oh there's so much blame to go around in this thread !

Wants the largest console games publisher to avoid Nintendo's platforms.
WebGL or bust.
are those nintendo ninja body bags?
Doubtful that this will make it, but an interesting game (adventure poker RPG) called Lords of New York has the Wii U as a platform were it to reach its goal.

What sort of games are you into? And we'll try to recommend you some.
If you like RPGs, definitely pick up Crimson Shroud.
Courtesy of Serplux:
A few of those are duds imo but the bulk of them are really good games.
Also this only includes 3DS eShop exclusives. There are also dozens of good DSiware, 3DS Virtual Console and 3D Classics games available.
