Wii U eShop Update Bringing GBA Titles

Thursday marks the first releases of the previously promised Gameboy Advance games on the Wii U console.  The first titles are have been revealed, and if releases of this caliber continue, it should be a good move by Nintendo.  During the next store update, you can expect to get your hands on Mario and Luigi: Super Saga, Metroid Fusion, and Advance Wars.  3DS owners will be able to grab Super Monkey Ball 3D and Bubble Pop World.

One can only hope that these type of titles will flow monthly – if not weekly – for the next little while.  Personally, I cannot wait to get my hands on the Golden Sun titles and any Pokemon game that might pop up. Although nothing has been announced for the future, it’s not difficult to see that Nintendo has a great back catalogue from which to take GBA emulated titles.

Nintendo also announced permanent price drops for Toki Tori, EDGE, and RUSH, all titles from developer Two Tribes. They’ll all be permanently reduced to $1.99/€1.99 from April 3rd, so if you’re interested in those titles, it won’t be long until you can grab them at a bargain price. They’d previously been at that price, but were increased to $3.99/€3.99 after initial release.
