This would be so awesome if it were true! I would love to have more GBA games on my 3DS beyond the Ambassador offerings.
Please let this mean that Mother 3 can finally get an official release over here. *crosses fingers*

If it's anything like the NES VC games that have been showing up on the eShop, the first GBA games will just be the same as the ambassador games, leaving ambassadors nothing to get excited for on the VC for the next half a year with Nintendo's 1-2 VC games per month policy.
Metroid Zero Mission
Castlevania Aria of Sorrow
Fire Emblem 7
Final Fantasy IV, V and VI
I would like these things, all of them.

I wish gaming sites wouldn't report rumors as fact. I know this isn't entirely what you're doing, but there's still no point in reporting something until you know it to be 100% true.
Though it is weird seeing as how gbc is still so unsupported...

Hopefully this means I'll finally be able to play Zero Mission.
Also, looking forward to playing ALttP again.

I just thought of something, isn't the original Metroid a unlockable in Metroid: Zero Mission? That probably means they won't release Metroid: Zero Mission altogether.
Mario and Luigi: Super Star Saga please.
Also guys, Minish Cap and Metroid Fusion were part of the Ambassador Program, and Nintendo has said that any GBA that was part of that program isn't going to be released to the public, so don't hold your breath.

It's marked as a rumor, and besides, the info appears RIGHT ON NINTENDO'S OWN SITE. That lends more credibility that the rumor is true than just about anything else.
So no, we'll keep on reporting on rumors, making sure they are noted as RUMORS, especially if there is a valid reason to believe they are true.

Rhythm Tengoku is what I want even if they didn't translate the text we could probably figure it out. I was able play the arcade cabinet version of it once and I was doing fine.
@GoofierBrute: It's true, they did say that. That doesn't mean they can't change their mind.
Look at it this way: are they going to be hurting any Ambassadors' feelings by removing this exclusivity a year down the road? Having access to content a year early sounds like a pretty sick deal to me.
Also, Minish Cap, FE: Sacred Stones, and Metroid Fusion are some of the absolutely best games ever released for GBA, so Nintendo's leaving quite a bit of money on the table if they hold this position forever.
They still may say no, but I'm not seeing much heft in the "con" column here.

I find it unbelievable that Nintendo can keep GBA games off the eShop when the demand is there. And this? A NES PORT? I'd hate to be a Nintendo fanboy......................wait. Damn.
"Despite bundling 10 Game Boy Advance titles for the 3DS Ambassador Program last year, Nintendo has announced no plans to officially bring GBA games to the eShop."
Well, from what I remember it was always the plan to do this, as per some passing things said when they gave us those games, there just wasn't an official time frame to it. Now it just looks like we're closer to that time frame.
"My vote is for Rhythm Tengoku."
Doubtful. I'm expecting Metroid Fusion or Zero Mission and other more marketable fare to be amongst some of the first we see.
Personally would eat up having all the Castlevania's again, though I doubt Konami would be smart enough at this point to hook us up.
Would also like the Fire Emblem games (well, the ones we didn't get as ambassadors), but I think even that might be too out of the sphere to get a quick release here for the VC.
@Goofier Brute
I believe the actual language they ended up on is that the Ambassador games (all of them) wouldn't be released to the public right away, but they'd trickle them out eventually. I think this also included the NES games, which they've already started to move onto the shop.
And, seriously, they'd be fucking out of their skulls to never bring out some of those games for actual sale.. Minish Cap and Fusion alone would make them a bundle. They'd literally be cutting off Mario's nose despite his face, keeping that promise.

Golden Sun and Golden Sun The Lost Age on the go would be superb. Oh and Shaman King Master of Spirits one and two. And there's Minish Cap and Fire Emblem 7 as well. Hopefully this means I'll be able to justify importing a 3DS from Japan with more to fall back on than just a few unlocalized titles.
God, just the thought of a port for Sacred Stones makes me realize that if I had access to it I'd be using my 3ds to spend more time playing GBA games than 3DS games.
if they are there i very warmly recommend the advanced wars games. Fantastic games if you like turned based strategy games.
knowing Nintendo I bet they charge $9.99 - $15.99 each, I'd rather own the cartridge for that much. They look better on my ds lite anyway
Knowing Nintendo, even if this does happen they are going to seep out titles over a long period of time in order to maximize sales. That means by the time they finally get around to a 3DS "Lite" (if you will) with a second analog nub, hopefully the shop will be stocked full of classic GBA games. Yes, my five year plan to buy a 3DS is coming along brilliantly.
I would love to care, but this is Nintendo we're talking about. If it is happening, it will be one game dripped a week, charging about 3 dollars more than anyone would like to pay.
@SweatyDungus
And that is exactly what Nintendo wants: sustained sales of their consoles over a long period.
^_^;
remember, they make more money going forward as production costs go down.

I bought a GBA SP and several games on eBay just so that I didn't have to download them. Cheers, Nintendo!

That's never gonna happen dude.

@GoofierBrute: No, they said that they had "no plans" to release them. No plans doesn't mean never, it means not in the near future. I can near guarantee that the ambassador games will eventually go up on VC. The main question is when. It could be next year, could be 2015.
@EternalDeadman
No need to wait for that one, it's already done.

Licensing rights may be an issue, but more people need to play and enjoy the amazing Double Dragon: Advance! I'm enjoying Double Dragon: Neon, but this game is better. Honestly, it's the best version of Double Dragon. Period.
Pokemon Em-
Oh wait, I can play that on my phone.
Mar-
OH wait I can also play that on my phone.
Why the fuck would I buy this if I already own a copy of the game and can play it on an emulator on my Iphone anywhere I want WITH savestates.
