I just noticed something...

The WII doesn't have a thing where you can play game boy advance games on it just like the game cube. And you can't pulg the game cube one in uz theres no where to put it. Did Nintendo forget to put it in, or are they beeing cheap and not letting us do that because some of the VC games are on the GBA. But I can imagine playing DS on Wii you could just use the wii's pointer as a styles er whatever it's called.

I'm going to be optimistic and say that they haven't done it because they're planning a Game Boy channel for the Virtual Console. I doubt I'm right though.

The GBA was already going out of date when the Wii launched, it'll be completely obsolete by the end, I'd say there's no need for one. Also the SNES had something similar for the original Game Boy but the N64 didn't, it's no way guaranteed that we have anything.

Personally I think most GBA games look horrible on a TV screen. My dream would be a Game Boy channel for Wii that allows you to transfer the games somehow onto the DS, unlikely but maybe.

I would love to have Game Boy games be availible on the Wii Shop Channel. That way, we could have the three original Metroid games all on one system.

I could also try out Kid Icarus: Of Myths and Monsters...:D

Just play games on your gameboy... And I believe that Gameboy games will not make it to the Virtual Console. They will make it to the "Virtual Handheld' in Nintendo's next unconfirmed, made up by me, handheld gaming system. Actually, that sounds like a pretty smart thing to do.

[SKTTR]

Yeah Metroid 1+2+3 on one console. That's fantastic!

With Gameboy on the VC we could also have Kirby's Dreamland 1 and 2
and not just Kirby's Dreamland 3 that was released on the SNES,
making this a full trilogy too.

The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening -> After Zelda 1, 2, 3 and 5 we also want the 4th legend.
And then we could get Zelda 7+8 (Oracle of Seasons and Oracle of Ages) as well :D
Majora's Mask (Zelda 6) is coming anyways.

I'd also love to see Donkey Kong again.
The Game Boy version was the best DK game and it was intended for Super Game Boy.
Super Game Boy games look much better than many NES games on a big screen.
And then there was Donkey Kong Land 1+2+3... DKC's little brothers.

Super Mario Land 1+2+3 - The whole Trilogy! Come on!
And later on all the Wario Land games!

Kid Icarus 2: Of Myths and Monsters -> I would get it!

Balloon Fight 2: Balloon Kid -> Wanna try this too!

there's so much more on the old game boy...
they should cost
500 (old game boy)
600 (super game boy)
700 (game boy color)
800 (game boy advance)

thats a great idea! a cheap little hand held, like the gba micro but with a small hd.

sold as a periphery for the wii. download the game on the wii and transfer it via the usb ports.

unbelievable great idea!

write it down, stick it in an envelope and send to it to nintendo because you, Spore, you beautiful chunk of gamer you, are a hard core genius!!!

:shock: I'm flattered?

GBA games wouldn't go for 800 points because stores still sell them and they coast like 30$

Used they cost 10. And who buys gameboy advance games new anymore? Unless you just can't bear somebody touching it before you.

[SKTTR]

GBA games are technically on SNES level or maybe a bit better.
So 900 points is ok.

I bought some brand-new GBA games for 10€ = 1000 Wii Points (Kuru Kuru Kururin, FF Tactics, FF I&II)
and others brand-new for 5€ = 500 Wii Points (NES Classic series).

They don't need to do GBA games becoz they work on the DS.

But GB, Super GB and GB Color games don't work on the DS, so I would pay 500, 600 and 700 for these.

There is one thing although that should be emulated somehow. Twoplayer/Fourplayer GB Link games. I think the Wii shouldn't have a problem making 4player splitscreen for games like F1-Race.

GB Advance can come later.

[alexknibb]

Ooooh. Could this little "Virtual Boy"* thingy you're suggesting have Atari Lynx games too? That was a cracking underrated little console. Shame it was the size of Michael Jordan's shoe, but hey-ho...


* Shame this name's already taken...

They already made a Wii boy. Thats close enough.

Lol. Ok so i was cheap and cut off the top screen of a DS and compressed the wii's screen just a tad (:lolo2:) but this would look cool if it was made to the right resolution and crap.

Oh yea but the power light is original by me ;).

Still id love for the inclusion of GB, GBC games. Not bothered about GBA for now since i know it wont happen yet until GBA goes off market.
