You mean the same idiot shareholders who said Nintendo should start releasing iOS games?

I do think they should release GBA games on the 3DS, but there has not been any indication it's gonna happen. Until it does, I think it's silly to act like it's gonna.

Except Nintendo has expressed interest in releasing EB before, they have not given any indication that they will change their mind on GBA. If they wanted to do it, I think they would have done it by now since they would be making a ton of money from it.

Like I said, though, it makes no financial sense. These are VC releases already ready to go, and Nintendo's in some well-deserved trouble right now with the shareholders.  If I'm a Nintendo shareholder, and I see that the company is deliberately sitting on an opportunity to make money off work they've already done with the company in the state it's in now, I have to question Iwata's competency and whether he should remain in charge of Nintendo.

Nintendo might just sit on those games because they're Nintendo and they frequently do stupid things, but there's no logical reason why they should.  That's why I've said those games are eventually coming in one way or another.

Yeah the ambassador gba games are not ready to be sold to the general public they were literally roms i mean you can't even use  sleep mode there

We have. And UB, the thing is that Nintendo has never changed their stance on this for the last 2 years. How long before you admit that GBA games won't be coming?

*yawn*

I think it's silly to act like it's not going to. It makes sense on every level. It makes them money and would be praised by just about everyone. Nintendo has a history of saying they have no plans right up until they decide to announce it. There is no subtlety to Nintendo PR, only ON and OFF. Nintendo would be unbelievably stupid not to put these games on there, and it's irrational to believe there is a real chance that they won't.
