Virtual Handheld announced for Japan!

And it's official!

$2 each sounds like a great deal!
Just some random guy on the internet who has a different opinion of games than you.

Everyone speculated about that. Not sure I'm interested, I've got the Game & Watch Gallery Advance and liked the modernized versions WAY more.

This is a nice start for the Virtual Handheld. I hope they bring it to NA, and EU... oh, and Australia/New Zealand.

The games are coming to DSiWare, not Virtual Handheld.  There's absolutely no indication that this will lead to Game Boy, Game Boy Color or Game Boy Advance games.
Why must all things be so bright? Why can things not appear only in hues of brown! I am so serious about this! Dull colors are the future! The next generation! I will never accept a world with such bright colors! It is far too childish! I will rage against your cheery palette with my last breath!

It doesn't hurt to dream, does it?   :(

This is not really news, Nintendo has already been doing this with the Brain Age Express and Master of Illusion Express games. This is basically the same thing. You get little small games for $2 a piece. If Nintendo actually introduces a Virtual Handheld, I will be interested.

They re-release Game and Watch games way too much but there are still many Game Boy games which have yet to resurface in any form.

Beyond that, I wonder if there's any cold chance in hell the Nelsonic watch games will be released.  I still have my SMB3 watch and would like to play the Zelda one again.
