Hey are these Game Gear titles listed here going to possibly be available at the US launch? It seems like anything announced for Japan should be available for our release date, and I hope that is including Gameboy VC games.

Right now, none of us are for sure. It's definitely possible that Sega will release the same titles in the US, but we're just waiting for some kind of announcement. Heck, in this announcement, Sega didn't even say when the Virtual Console Game Gear games would be available, and yet in America, we have news that the VC is hitting the 3DS is May. :shrugs:
