Nintendo of Europe recently added images of Gameboy Advance games to their press site within a section meant for screenshots for new games. The games added : Super Mario Ball, Mario Golf Advance Tour and Mario & Luigi Superstar Saga.There will be a Nintendo Direct this Thursday in Europe, it could well shed some light on this with an official announcement.

Mario Golf! If it's cheap and has a good RPG mode I might get it, it'd be great if they started fully supporting the GBA VC.
(the gameplay of Mario Golf never appealed to me much but I really like Camelot's RPGs and their music)

Mario Golf GBA has got surprising depth. It's the only one I'd buy also.

I'd buy Mario Golf and Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga. I never played either of these. I don't see GBA games becoming available on the eShop though. At least, not right now.

Japan had a Nintendo Direct earlier today and the eShop being down for maintenance was just to prepare for a bunch of digital downloads such as Mario Kart 7, Super Mario 3D Land, etc. Europe are having one tomorrow and the normal procedures for Nintendo Direct are basically just translating the Japanese one, removing exclusive-to-Japan news and maybe replacing it with something else.

GBA games on the eShop would be huge news, especially for Europe to be confirming it. I just don't see it happening tomorrow. Maybe in the near future, though. Why else would they add GBA games to their press site?

Oh god, Superstar Saga. Easily one of the best GBA games. Starting off with that might be a mistake, there would be very little else to match it in the GBA library.

Hell, I still have the GBA cart and my Micro lying around and I'd still rebuy it, it's that good.

I imagine they'd start off with introducing the Ambassador catalogue first though, like they did with the NES games. 

Edit; Whoops, forgot why I came into the thread in the first place.

Just got my 3DS XL back from Nintendo via delivery.
A couple of weeks ago a grouping of dead pixels appeared on the top screen. Normally I'd ignore something like that but they were playing hell with the 3D effect, so I sent it in.
Top screen was replaced free of charge, it came back with all downloads intact (says they deleted my Debit Card info off the eShop for my privacy, forgot to do that before I sent it off, doh!), even got some free screen guards out of it. Extended the Warranty for another 12 months too. Good job Big N.

People, get Liberation Maiden. Sooo good!

I'm a sucker for anime-styled games

I'm definitely interested but I'm waiting for reviews first

If you liked Kid Icarus you should get it.

Has anyone downloaded Pokemon Dream Radar today? I was curious as to how it fares as a standalone game. I'll probably never use the Black2/White2 transfer feature but at only £2.69 I'm tempted to try the game only.

Afaik it's not actually out yet, it comes out tomorrow at the same time as BW2 (although I got BW2 already, Dream Radar isn't up on the eShop yet)
I'm glad to know it's not totally shit though.

Ah ok, I'll give it a miss then.

Probably will get the Pokedex Pro upgrade later on though, purely for Nostalgia reasons. Hopefully that's cheap too.

Oh my god...I want this one SO much. This one is even more limited in Japan than the Pikachu 3DS XL, as the reservations will be decided via a lottery and only if you win there you have the option to buy one.

Yes mate. 3D Space Harrier. Should look good in motion in 3D.

Time for a Shenmue link to the past!

There are some interesting countdowns that coincide with the end of the Mayan Calendar but as far as I know they're just for fan albums.

You can't just say that, Linky lol

If you're talking about that Nintendo America tweet, it's fake. But it would still be a perfect time to announce it.
