What I don't get is why none of the gameboy pokemon games were released, are they afraid of money or something?


It would require to get the trading function fully emulated. And Nintendo doesn't want to do that.

Mario Tennis GBC... no compatability with N64 version to unlock all characters and courts but both of them are on VC.

Yes. But trading for Pokemon is the whole point. Minor features from Tennis aren't. It be like not emulating memory cards for gamecube games.

That's awesome! But didn't they also announce way back that they'd do GBA VC on Wii U. Not to mention N64 and GC support should be there too and 3DS should get DS and GBA support (fully) as well. Also, a LOT more games need to come to VC for the platforms that are already supported on 3DS and Wii U.


GC emulation is still probably causing them issues. Till this day dolphin still doesn't run things 100%. Audio is a huge issue for one. And PC's are several times faster than Wii U.

Delete please. Double post by mistake.



I don't see what all the excitement is about. It's just a thing that emulators can do. Just get a flashcart to rip your DS games... or hell, download them... as long as you actually own them.

With heavy filtering and other options offered on PC, they look good and play easy...

Finally, a good use for the gamepad, hahahahah.

But please nintendo, lots of games, and the price. Be carefull with the price.

Yeah, possibly. I also saw someone elses comment about the triggers that seems like a possible reason why GC would be difficult to support on VC.

GC isnt really needed yet, maybe on the successor to the WiiU sure but for now I think a few HD remakes/ collections throughout the gen should do. Just make sure the rest of the VC is solid and not the complete joke it currently is



This is nice and all, but where are the N64 and GC games? I can easily play every single DS game on my 3DS and yes, I know the same thins could be said about GC and N64, but they're a little more hard to come by, especially N64 games.

You can say the same for every console that's on VC. That hasn't stop people from buying games. In fact, DS games are the hardest to emulate, many games have bugs and crash frequently.

How about bringing over all the Virtual Console games from Wii first?
