Finally a chance to play Minish Cap.

I was really hoping they’d announce Pokémon for it but didn’t list it for now or later. I would pay for old Pokémon games on the switch PLEASE

Really thrilled for Superstar Saga, but I would have loved to see the Pokemon TCG. That might have been my favorite Game Boy game ever.
CuteTao
I saw fire emblem!
ah_Callie
Still waiting for Donkey Kong 64
MarioKartMaster133

blackthorn_orion
that’s a solid opening line-up
Everyone play Mario Land 2 and Wario Land 3. They’re absolute bangers.

Super Mario Land 2 was always my favorite Game Boy game. I’m looking forward to replaying it after all these years.

I just bought a bunch of Game Boy and Game Boy Advance Virtual Console games before the Wii U and 3DS stores closed for good. That’ll teach me not to wait until literally the last possible second.

Firmly believe this is their outlet to finally release an official translation MOTHER 3. Also I wonder if that rumored compatibility with the 64 app for Pokemon on Game Boy to link with the Pokemon Stadium games ends up coming to fruition.

Goldensun!!

I rebuilt my GBA, modded it with a backlight and internal battery, and bought a full bunch of games for it and right when I was happy with my collection, this drops. I’m either the luckiest or unluckiest person ever.

Seeing golden sun again gave me chills

I’m still surprised that they didn’t make Metroid Fusion (aka Metroid 4) available until long *after* the release of Metroid Dread, which was straight up referred to as Metroid 5 in marketing and builds heavily on Fusion.
Better late than never, I suppose.
Scottyjscizzle
So fucking happy to see golden sun!!!!!

With this addition, every main series Metroid game is or will be now playable on the Switch.
Kid-OK
Well they have a way to drop official translations of Binding Blade and Mother 3…
Slade4Lucas
So many games people are freaking out over and here’s me, loving the sight of Super Circuit.
Tezerel
Online multiplayer for GBA, godlike. Kururin is supposed to be really good.

I lost my mind when they showed Game Boy Gallery. When I was gifted my gbc for Christmas 1999 my mother gave me this game to go with it. I was so pissed that she gave my brother super Mario bros deluxe. I wanted that instead lol. But then game boy gallery got me hook, line and sinker. I couldn’t stop playing it. In fact the cartridge ended up getting corrupted (battery dies in them apparently) and it no longer saved my progress properly yet I STILL played it. I cannot wait to explore it again and not have to worry about the same thing happening to my save data on the switch

If they add Wario Land 4 I will purchase the expansion pack

I hope Mario Bros. Deluxe hits for GBC in the future. I know it’s just a port butnit was my comfort game as a kid

List of the games here

GOLDEN. SUN.
Golden Sun, baby!
Roy is NOT our boy. (His Fire Emblem was announced for JP.)
The main games will probably be announced in the Pokemon Direct along with the TCG (shown as an image already).
Think we’ll get Pokémon eventually?
If they bring the Pokemon games onto NSO, the prices of the Pokemon games will tank in value (hopefully)
My biggest takeaway from this is that Nintendo officially does *not* consider the Game Boy Color to be it’s own platform separate from the Game Boy.
TIL They’re called “Tetraminos”
Ok hear me out: Drilldozer with the HD rumble
