Alright, I promise this will be last 3DS focused list for a while
but I figured I might as well cross all gaming options on the 3DS off so now I’m
focusing on the Virtual Console. Nintendo really struck gold when they decided
to enter the world of downloadable games by rereleasing many of their classics
on the Wii’s Virtual Console service. However, as many gamers will tell you,
Nintendo hasn’t exactly treated that service very well. It started out great
but as time when on, less and less games were released. To this day, several
big name Nintendo titles such as Super Mario World 2: Yoshi’s Island and
Earthbound have yet to see Virtual Console releases.

This hasn’t stopped Nintendo from trying it again with the
3DS however but they’re going with sort of a different strategy this time.
Instead of releasing several games a week every week, they’ve so far only been
releasing one a week. While I’m sure many gamers aren’t okay with this,
especially having to potentially wait for their favorites, but I personally
think it’s a fine strategy. There’s tons of Gameboy and Gameboy Color games out
there and releasing one a week is a good way to keep folks excited about what’s
to come. Not to mention Nintendo has mentioned the possibility of releasing
Gameboy Advance and Sega Game Gear games on the service in the future, so the
Virtual Console on the 3DS is looking mighty bright right now.
So what I’m going to be counting down is the top seven games
I want to see rereleased on the Virtual Console service for the 3DS. So far, a
lot of the really great ones have been released like Super Mario Land 2, The
Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening and even some lesser known classics like
Gargoyle’s Quest. But there’s still plenty left they can pick from. Now, I’m
only going to be doing Gameboy and Gameboy Color games because so far that’s
all the service has hit. This list is open to both Nintendo and third party
developed games as both have been released so far. So without further delay,
let’s get to it.
