It would be very nice to see those titles bounce from one system to another as a single purchase as I get a lot of mileage out of that with my psp and ps3 and those PS1 titles.Chalgyrhttp://chalgyrsgameroom.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-816989905409991840.post-76670532191355214642012-01-20T01:01:33.772-06:002012-01-20T01:01:33.772-06:00I expect an E3 reveal that GBA games will join the...I expect an E3 reveal that GBA games will join the Virtual Console.

Like you said Chalgyr, all the legwork has been done. The only thing I keep coming back to is that there is some other plan for the games in general or to charge us non-ambassadors more. I'm hoping this doesn't fall into a price gouging situation. The idea is to reward the early adopters and not punish the rest of us.<br /><br />GamesAndBiz : <br /> I've been thinking about those crossplatform VC releases lately and certainly agree. Both my Wii and 3DS are linked to the same Club account so they can easily see what was purchased on each device. I suspect this may mean some consolidation or revamp of the Wii's points system to make things fair. eg: I buy LoZ for 500 points on Wii and they're selling it for $4.99+tax on 3DS. Naturally I'm going to buy on Wii and let the license flow over to the 3DS.<br /><br />Having approved/compatible/whatever titles be available on both systems without re-purchase would be huge and I believe would actually stimulate purchases. The way it is now I'm obviously going to throttle back my purchase decisions since they're locked to one system. eg: Do I really need LoZ in portable form? Well, not really, but I would give it much less thought and just buy more titles in general if I could play them in both places.Roberthttp://incompletegaming.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-816989905409991840.post-5928455124075264412012-01-17T14:09:47.985-06:002012-01-17T14:09:47.985-06:00On another note, it is so annoying that the Wii an...On another note, it is so annoying that the Wii and 3DS Virtual Console game's don't link together. I buy a PSOne Classic game, and I have it on both PS3 and PSP - just the one purchase. <br /><br />Meanwhile, were Nintendo to start selling SNES or NES virtual console games, I would need to buy the same game twice.<br /><br />This is why locking downloads to hardware, not an account, is a bad, bad idea.GamesAndBiznoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-816989905409991840.post-55506971447715428542012-01-17T07:00:51.816-06:002012-01-17T07:00:51.816-06:00I recall when I first read the offer and that the ...I recall when I first read the offer and that the games were being tabbed as exclusive for the Ambassadors. I think you hit it on the head - give it to them early, give it to them for free, but not offering them for sale at all is a bit foolish. I suspect that eventually they will come out as purchasable - like you said, maybe in a bundle or just individually, but it makes no financial sense to sit on some of those great titles, since the legwork is already done on them, when they would obviously sell copies.Chalgyrhttp://chalgyrsgameroom.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-816989905409991840.post-25232090704460428602012-01-17T03:59:24.395-06:002012-01-17T03:59:24.395-06:00Yes, I agree with you completely.

The 3DS is clearly capable of it, so why isn't Nintendo offering these games for purchase?<br /><br />I can't think of a single good reason, assuming that Nintendo is taking the 3DS eShop seriously.
