Any chance we'll ever see Game Boy games on VC?

I'd love the chance to download games like Metroid II and Kirby's Dream Land on VC (even if they'd look pretty crappy on an HDTV). Anyone think there's a chance of this ever happening? Has Nintendo ever commented on it?

They might be more of a DSi download than a Wii download.

If that was going to happen, it would have happened already, so no. I don't see it happening. Sepewrath

Probably on the 3DS. And yeah, I like the VC much more than WiiWare.

I doubt it will ever happen. We have only been getting about 2 games a month. Nintendo is slowly killing the service off.Rocky32189

This.

Highly doubtful old Game Boy stuff would appear on VC since Nintendo is releasing next to nothing for VC these days anyway. There are still tons of classic games they should put on the service, I dont know why they are dragging their feet so much.

I wouldn't have thought so, as I think they'd like to keep their handheld games on handhelds

If Nintendo is willing to put systems like Turbo Grafx, Sega Master System, and Neo Geo, systems that most people my age and belowhaven't of, then why shouldn't they put Game Boy and Game Boy Color in there? I've been wondering if and when Nintendo will do that also.

VC is slowing dieing nintendo released nearly every game they have made and most 3rd party developers are seeing that they make more money off wiiware or making retail games and its all about money, even on the dsi i say their wont be a VC nintendo has learned better in terms of making money thats why they went straight to dsiware over a VC so i say theres no cahnce in hell of gb games on any VCelbert_b_23

They haven't released Mario Party 1, 2, or 3. They haven't released Mario Tennis. Donkey Kong 64 is there yet. Diddy Kong racing hasn't made it yet.There are plenty of Yoshi games as far I know hasn't arrived yet. There are probably a few Kirby games left there. Both Pokemon Stadium 1 and 2 havne't made it in yet.

Because they're too busy trying to go the way of Playstation 3 and Xbox 360 downloading via Wii Ware. I too am tired of seeing Wii Ware game after Wii Ware game gettin released and only seeing one Virtual Console game a week getting released, and half the time it's a thrid party system game getting in the Virtual Console now. Where are the Nintendo 64 games at? If Sony is willing to a Playstation 1 in almost every week then how come Nintendo only releases a Nintendo 64 game once every couple months?

And I think people are being a bit dramatic about how the VC is dying, I doubt its easy to market 15yr old games that don't have Mario or Zelda in the title. I remember when they first announced VC, it sounded like they were just going to put all the games out there and let you just buy at your leisure(though I remember Miyamoto wanted it to be free, that would have been great) But I'm sure they figured, whether free or for purchase, a system like that would lead to 98% of games being buried. Over time they probably noticed that even in bunches of 4 or 5, games were being buried, especially if releasing alongside the likes of Ocarina of Time, Mario 64 etc. I think they decreased the rate because of buying patterns to give games a chance at selling. I think if they could find a better way to market them, they would increase the rate again.

my guess is when the 3DS comesout it will have the handheld VC... 8)

Really it did? I tried Mario Tennis out once and liked it so I look forward to being able to play it on the Wii. I kind of miss the old Mario Parties.
