dk '94, aka the best portable platformer ever made.
Awesome. I'll happily buy it again.

Donkey Kong, a game almost exclusively referred to as Donkey Kong '94 by fans and gaming media, has 1981 listed as its release year in the eShop. That's the year the original Donkey Kong came out in arcades.
gamespite: @WarlockSoL@Malev721 Unfortunately Nintendo is being dopey about SGB enhancements, so it doesn't. Still a masterpiece of a game, though. 4 minutes ago via Twitter for Mac in reply to WarlockSoL
So yeah, Nintendo fails once again. Big fucking surprise *sigh*
I have the original release and a Super Game Boy as well. I only plan to buy this as the only means I can think of to effectively say to Nintendo, "more of this, please."

Shantae: Risky's Revenge introduced countless handheld owners to the hip-shaking half-genie, but those who've tried to track down the game's Game Boy Color prequel will have had quite a shock, its price on auction sites reaching hundreds of dollars.
Developer WayForward often gets asked whether it's planning to bring the GBC romp to 3DS Virtual Console, and the good news is that yes, it is.
WayForward's Facebook page was updated with this message early this morning:
With Game Boy titles now being released on the 3DS eShop, we are frequently asked if we plan on bringing the original ‘Shantae’ to the service.
We have nothing to confirm at this time, but we can say that we are actively pursuing the re-release of ‘Shantae’ on the 3DS Virtual Console. As soon as we have anything to report, we will let you know. Until then, keep an eye on our Facebook and Twitter pages for future updates.
This would certainly be a welcome boost to the 3DS VC's catalogue, but as we all know the process of getting a game approved and released — even a Virtual Console one — is fraught with uncertainties. As soon as we have more on Shantae for Virtual Console, we'll let you know.

Yay, hopefully Nintendo doesn't... well, be Nintendo and make this take forever...
I wonder if Shantae is tangled up in any Capcom-related issues or if that contract expired long ago...
It's been about a decade, really.
I dunno, clearly they were able to self-publish a sequel. So Capcom does not own the license. This one is different of course, but I don't think they'd have said that if they were having issues with Capcom. I suppose Capcom enjoys free money too :P
Drill Dozer was awesome. It was being sold for like $9 on clearance at Toys R Us many years ago. I really should finish it, but that means playing it on my DS phat. or my GBA SP, which has terrible battery life now.
Pro Jumper! Guilty Gear Tangent!? (platformer)
Stratego: Next Edition
Delbo (some kind of Puzzle Bobble clone where you can't bounce things off the walls)
Wiiware
The Mystery of Whiterock Castle (knockoff Mystery Case Files game)
what the hell? There's a 3DS store already? I've been trying to update for the past month and it says i'm up to date already, yet no store. Am I missing something?
Yes? If you update then you should lose the video that came with the system (assuming you are in the US so the OkGo music vid) and gain an icon for the shop.
Also from NintendoLife - EU will be getting Mario Picross on 3DS VC eventually, along with the 3D classic Xevious. I swear, if NoA doesn't follow suit, I'm gonna have to do something extreme, like bitch on a message board.

I am so getting Kirby tonight. I love that little [strike]pink[/strike] white puffball.
Personally I'm a little concerned that we haven't had third parties jump on board yet.
Capcom was supposed to release the MM Legends 3 demo-thing but it was delayed. So *shrug*. It also seems like companies don't have a lot of control over when Nintendo bothers to get around to releasing their games on their download services.
P.S. - This thread title is annoying the hell out of me :P
I already have Kirby Super Star Ultra, which has a remake of Dreamland, copy ability and all. And I'm not terribly nostalgic for the original version...
With that said, is there still a reason one would really want to check it out?

Of course, I have my Super Gameboy and DK94 cart still....so I don't need it on this. :P

Maybe something like "[Wii Shop / DSiWare / 3DS eShop]" so people who are searching for Wii Shop will still be able to find it.
Or if the OP isn't around anymore, someone should make a new thread.

And yes, we need all the Wario Lands. I've only actually played the original one (which was excellent), so I've been wanting to try out the others.
I mean I'm not going to get it but I know others love it.
