Gameboy absence on Wii

Hmmm...been a while, but I'm at work and feel like adding to my profile. Benn playing tons of games lately, on the Wii, DDR, American Idol 2, House of the Dead, Mario Kart and Mario Galaxy...on the Xbox 360, Lord of the Rings Conquest, Halo 2 (my first time...LOL), Left for Dead, Burnout Paradise, etc, etc.

I've also bought a DS and been playing quite a few games, Mario Kart, Warhammer 40k, Brain Age2, and some of my GBA games...which made me break out the SP to play Link's Awakening and Super Mario Land. And it dawned on me. Why are there no Gameboy games on Wii Virtual Console? Metroid, Super Mario Land, Zelda, Castlevania, RC Proam, Pokemon Red/Blue, Yellow? Those are some awesome games and are becoming very hard to find, I've looked.

And while we're on the topic of Wii Virtual Console, why are there almost as many Turbo Graphix 16 games as SNES? Seriously??? I would much rather see more NES/SNES games, and perhaps a few more N64. But to not have any gameboy titles is a shame and they're missing a huge market I think.

In the meantime I'll cherish the few Gameboy games I have in the meantime until the boys at Nintendo wise up.
