4. Virtual Console

If you're a retro gamer, the fact that you can play so many old NES, Gameboy and Mega Drive games is great. Personally I'm hoping for more; SNES, Master System, TurboGrafx-16, and Gameboy Advance all need to be brought over to the 3DS store because these games so perfectly lend themselves to portability nowadays. They can be somewhat pricey admittedly and you could just stick a load of ROMs on an emulator and play them on your phone; the thing is, unless you own a Sony Xperia Play, (and I'm the only person in the fucking world to own one of them), your phone doesn't have physical controls and that's something that makes the 3DS really shine when it comes to replaying these old games.

The mollases-like rate of releases belays this point, unfortunately.
