The Gameboy virtual console itself was expected/known about. What surprised me is that at least some games are being changed to having some 3D effects.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Virtual_Console_games_(North_America)#Virtual_Console_for_Nintendo_3DS


Those aren't Virtual Console releases, they're a new category "3D Classics" or "Classics in 3D" or something.  They're also all conversions of NES or SNES games so far.  Xevious was shown at the JP conference last week, it had more background layers than the NES port (or arcade original even) and no sprite flicker among other improvements, so they're not straight emulations like the VC.

Ah, yeah, they might be under a special name when they've been redone for 3D, but as the link shows two games that are from the Game Boy and Game Boy color, not all are NES/SNES games so far. We'll see if they also release some VC style straight ports as well. Thanks for the info though. I hadn't caught the Xevious thing before.
