One thing I'll say is that these games look a whole lot better than they ever did on my old black and white TV when I was a kid and even a bit better than they did on my color TV I got when I was a little older. I also like that the automatic save feature from the GB virtual console carried over into these games. I hope that Nintendo gives devs the option to put Super Nes games onto the 3DS eShop someday as I suspect the smaller, sharp screen will make those games look stunning, too.

My biggest gripe about all of the VC games I've played so far: All of the slowdown and flicker from the original versions still persist, even though the hardware isn't being taxed at all. I know purists probably jizz in their pants when they see all of the flaws carried over perfectly but I would welcome the option to turn on some sort of mode that let these games play without the glitches. And while we're at it, why not let me use the "Y" and "B" buttons instead of "A" and "B" when I play Nes/Gameboy games? "Y" and "B" just feel so much more natural.

Like I said before, these are plenty of time wasters and they didn't cost me a thing. I can't get too mad. Unfortunately, I don't see myself making it to the end of any of them except Super Mario Bros.
