They are games from the NES/SNES era that are being remade in 3D. Think Super Mario Bros with Mario in the foreground and the clouds in the background.
It is NOT the 3DS version of the virtual console.

Fine.
The process of converting a game into 3D is the most arduous in the industry, and I am insanely thankful on the behalf of everyone else for 2D games (even if I won't be buying them).
And I accept that I am a whining entitled bitch, but only insofar that I may cling to my opinion that I expected a company employing thousands of people to have more games converted for launch (which i'm pretty sure does not take over a year to hack 3D effects into some old ROMs).
At the very least allow this whining bitch to have a free upgrade if they release a 3D version later and the option to transfer his Wii VC content over. Buying content twice is my biggest concern of all, and if people cannot accept that then the digital industry is forever lost.

I think we can all agree with that. I sure hope Nintendo doesn't have a "3D fee" of some sort. Especially if they release the 3D versions AFTER the 2D versions.

They can't "hack 3D effects into some old ROMs." If they did, you wouldn't want to play them. You'd boot up the game and say "what the hell is this shit?!" because there'd be only two layers of 3D effect with bits and pieces floating randomly all over the place, not aligning properly with foreground / background.
They basically have to remake the game from scratch to do it right, which can and does take over a year, when you're remaking 10+ games.

here's a solution: don't release the 2D version. you (the consumer) would be pissed since you would have to pay the 3D fee, but at least you get a 2D option. Nintendo? *notmyproblem.jpg*
Over a year to add 3d to some old ROMs? Probably not that hard for thousands of people. Guess they should've just put all their eShop/Firmware/Retail/Wii/DS/Cafe/other game dev on hold to make sure all 3DS VC games were 3d.I NEED SCISSORS said:
I wouldn't count on free upgrades, but I'm not sure how likely it'll be for a game to show up on VC and then later on 3D classics. As for transferring your WiiWare VC, so far the only overlap between the two services is TG16, and I wouldn't really count on the ability to transfer/share from Wii.
If you're expecting a lot of games to show up as 3D Classics, you're up for disappointment. As UncleSporky said, it's not a straightforward process and it takes time. It's not just a matter of dumping a ROM and slapping a 3D effect, because such a thing as a universal 3D effect you can slap on games doesn't exist.
So, they'll likely focus on their big hitters and a handful of games especially easy to convert.

Interesting, but that better be free.
Unless they do battle animations and have actual cries then it's pretty pointless.

Nope.
They're moving to cash. So you can buy cash cards ($10 and $20).
Also, the Pokedex should get its own topic.

Yeah, it's kind of evident you don't see the problem. I don't think he was bitching at all. He was merely pointing out that Nintendo is further confusing consumers about the benefits of 3DS by releasing a shit ton of 2D games at the launch of its online store. I tend to agree.
Clear now?

well, Nintendo did mention that they will be in a separate catagory from the Virtual Console. so it should make more sense when you enter the shop

Pokedex is an awesome idea to get kids taking their systems with them. "collecting" Pokemon everyday just by walking around? Sign me up.

Since when is two games a "shit ton"? And it'd have to be a completely moronic consumer to be confused when they open up the store and see two sections, "2D Virtual Console" and "3D Classics", and wonder why the games in the Virtual Console aren't 3D.GeekyDad said:

I didn't know the game was called alleyway. I always thought it was arkanoid (yes, I know now that it's Taito's title); nevertheless, I love it. Will buy!

It'll be $5 for both GB & GBC, $8 for GBA. $8 for VB, if that happens too.Dr. Zoidberg said:
For 3rd party systems probably $5 for GG, $6 for TG16 & NGPC and $8 for WS/C.
