Topic: Dear Nintendo: 3DS Virtual Console Multi-player

Dearest Nintendo:

Oh, why do you tease me so?

You know, I get that you don't include on-line multi-player because you want to keep VC releases as "original" as possible.  I disagree with that decision, but, whatever.

However, if you're wanting to keep the VC releases as "original" as possible, why do we not have any local multi-player in our 3DS downloads?  I strongly and clearly remember having multi-player in my original Game Boy games.  I remember sitting on the bus, playing Tetris against friends.

Some Game Boy games even have some pretty spiffy multi-player modes on them - like Pac-Man, which has a killer 2Player mode.  I have ZERO intention of buying this game (do you know how many versions of Pac-Man I have?), but it would be an instant download for me and anyone I know with a 3DS *just* so I could make them play the multi-player mode if we happen to have time (oh, and how awesome is it that I wouldn't have to worry about the link cable?).

I'm not asking for on-line support.  Even though I'd love it and even though third-rate emulators have been doing it for years.  I'm simply asking for local multi-player - so that we can play our games the way we used to play them.

I complained about stuff like this in the Club Nintendo Ambassador surveys. Hopefully, lots of other people did as well.

We could use Club Nintendo surveys to also whine about the sad state the eShop is in these days...

Oh, I've been whining.

In every eShop game survey I demand more frequent VC releases.
