It's all been Gameboy games from what I can tell, and some of them are good ones, here's the thing.

They could release, NES, SNES, GBA, and could probably also emulate N64 games with it. How many more of these systems games do you expect to see on there in the coming, months, years?

I'm hoping for some SNES titles. My favourite system of all time, she be.

NES titles have been confirmed and exist in some form already. Game Gear was announced a while back, with 6 games being readied. I suspect the SNES and Mega Drive could launch on the back of the success of the NES and Game Gear, but I suspect Nintendo wants to focus on new software with this handheld. I also wouldn't write off GBA games. If they're willing to give 10 of them away to ambassadors, then they're clearly exploring the possibilites of it.

I think the 3DS could emulate N64 games, but since they remade both ocarina of time 3D and star fox 64 3D, also on the DS there's super mario 64 DS and there's a very strong possibility of Majora's Mask 3D, so I think having the N64 versions of those in the e-shop could prevent people from getting the remakes. Of course they could always release the ones that haven't been remade for 3DS, but then people would get mad because star fox and zelda not being available.

I think it depends on what they do with the Wii U, if that has the VC, they will probably stick with consoles on the Wii U and handhelds for the 3DS. They have a bunch of games on handhelds that they could bring over to the 3DS, couple that with the digital games and I don't think they are going to stuff the store by bringing in console games.

Yeah but they have Game Gear on the way, GBA will come eventually, GB, GBC, that's a lot of games. Also wouldn't surprise me to see Neo Geo Pocket show up one day, maybe even Lynx.

I'd like N64 on the VC. Super Mario 64 on the 3DS. :D
