Thanks for the launch list k91191!

 

[Edag88]

They gonna make us pay for them again if we have them on Wii U?

 

[Movalpolos]

Cross-buy?

 

[Fularu]

They gonna make us pay for them again if we have them on Wii U?

Yes

 

[netgrimoire]

I'm really happy about this.

 

[SoulUnison]

SNES emulation, only with the power of the "New" 3DS!

Come the fuck on, Nintendo.

 

[Persona7]

that leak

They gonna make us pay for them again if we have them on Wii U?

They didn't say anything about cross buy or any type of promotion so I am guessing, yes.

 

[Piston Hyundai]

They gonna make us pay for them again if we have them on Wii U?

Don't worry, you might get a discount.

SNES emulation, only with the power of the "New" 3DS!

Come the fuck on, Nintendo.

Yeah, five years late and exclusive to a hardware revision makes it hard for me to be too happy about this.

 

[LabouredSubterfuge]

They are too kind.

 

[KingWool]

They can't be seriously charging for these again if I bought them on the Wii u.

 

[Movalpolos]

Yes

Fuck that.

EDIT: Oh and ONLY on New 3DS?

Never has this gif been more applicable.

 

[Rootbeer]

I want earthbound on my N3DS. I already own it on Wii U.

Better be a discount program.

 

[supermetfreud]

These should really be at the very least discounted for owners of the Wii U versions

 

[Adam Prime]

They gonna make us pay for them again if we have them on Wii U?

They didn't mention this at all. But they said they'll be available after this presentation, so we should have our answer real soon.

 

[Stevey]

Sweet.
My N3DS can now be Mega drive/SNES machine.
16 bit lives again.

 

[holtlegna]

I hope I don't have to pay for them again

 

[HUELEN10]

1:1 is the REAL megaton!

 

[AdanVC]

Who is ready to buy Mario World for the 5th time again?

Exclusively on New Nintendo 3DS tm.

I'm so done.

 

[entremet]

Cross-buy?

LMAO

 

[Sheriff_Battlesnake]

Wait. Just N3DS?!

Or can I play on my 3DS XL as well....

 

[Adamator]

I just Squealed like an idiot when they announced this news! I have been waiting for this for so long!

 

[abstract alien]

SNES emulation, only with the power of the "New" 3DS!

Come the fuck on, Nintendo.

That's all I took from it honestly. This is worse than amiibo by far lol

I don't care about VC at all, but it's pretty terrible for those that do.

 

[BigTnaples]

Fuck yes.


But where the hell is aLttP?

 

[a916]

I hope I don't have to pay for them again

It's 2016... get with it Nintendo.

 

[jett]

Charging multiple times for the same rom.

The Nintendo difference.

 

[HUELEN10]

Wait. Just N3DS?!

ONLY New Nintendo 3DS

 

[TheOnlyOneHeEverFeared]

Wait. Just N3DS?!

Or can I play on my 3DS XL as well....

Presumably not.

 

[Persona7]

Wait. Just N3DS?!

Or can I play on my 3DS XL as well....

Only N3DS hardware.

 

[dc89]

Cross-buy?

...lol

 

[OmegaFax]

No price. I guess they're expecting people to pay $8 a pop for them.

 

[Syf]

lol at making it exclusive to a revision. Because the standard 3DS totally can't handle SNES games.

 

[Keby]

Wait for NX. No way they throw away handheld VC to start over again after this. Sweet they at least did that for new 3DS.

 

[dancrane212]

Just picked up a n3DS with the Pokemon bundle but no interest in buying these games again. Hoped that the Nintendo account stuff was going to tie into some cross buy or discount program.

 

[Persona7]

No price. I guess they're expecting people to pay $8 a pop for them.

Earthbound costed a bit more when it came out on VC because they wanted to squeeze the fanbase.

 

[Megatron]

So just four titles confirmed so far? All available after the direct? Im at work! I need details!

 

[Brian_FETO]

SEGA does what Nintendon't

 

[appaws]

Well, I was thinking of playing through aLTTP again...so this might be a nice way to do it.

 

[kms_md]

Any word on when?

 

[Sheriff_Battlesnake]

ONLY New Nintendo 3DS

What.

Presumably not.

The.

Only N3DS hardware.

Fuck.


The existence of this thing perplexes me. But I guess it helps validate the purchase for the people who bought in, at least some. Hm. Oh well... at least I have my SNES.

 

[Roxas]

Lol fuck you Nintendo

 

[Mega]

Who is ready to buy Mario World for the 5th time again?

Exclusively on New Nintendo 3DS tm.

I'm so done.

Seriously. One major reason I'm looking forward to NX. This re-buying games for the 4th, 5th time will finally end with an ongoing, unified account system. Or at least I really hope so.

 

[Movalpolos]

1:1 is the REAL megaton!

So it's a megaton that they are actually putting forth effort to emulate their games properly?
Good grief.

 

[BraXzy]

IGN article http://uk.ign.com/articles/2016/03/...-snes-games-headed-to-new-3ds-virtual-console

 

[Sephzilla]

Only for the N3DS is some pretty massive bullshit.

 

[DPtheGod]

Link to the Past on my N3DS?

...

...

...

FUCK YEA

 

[outunderthestars]

I am not buying any VC games until I know that I won't have to buy them yet again on their next platforms.

This shit is getting absurd at this point.

 

[alr1ght]

Cross-buy?

 

[Giolon]

Did they say when? I want Super Metroid on my n3DS immediately.

Edit: Ah, I see in the IGN article there are dates. April 14th for Super Metroid, woo!

 

[HUELEN10]

Only for the N3DS is some pretty massive bullshit.

How?
