Seems we also just got 1080 here in North America.
I got the Wii release earlier this year as one of my last Club Nintendo rewards, but didn't play it much because the controls hurt my hands. Not sure if I'd bother to upgrade.

Not sure if this has been posted yet, but the Japanese VC release of SMA4:SMB3 has the E-reader levels unlocked. Not sure if that includes the ones that weren't released, though.

Well it's got the classic levels in it, don't know about the rest though. I only ever got to scan in Wild Ride in the Sky and the Super Leaf power up with my copy as I could never find any level packs. Thankfully there is someone out there who started recreating the e-World levels in Super Mario Maker (as best they could).
GBA title Drill Dozer is finally arriving in PAL regions for the first time this week on Wii U VC! (It got rated by the OFLC back in April). 
And in shocking surprise news Box Boy get a sequel! Out in Japan right now! BoyBoy! Another Box. |

An interestimg note about Drill Dozer from Miiverse
When you first start up the game it actually has a European language selection and the credits apparently have NOE involvement in them as well, so it appear the the PAL VC version is in fact a unreleased Euro ROM of the game.
(Also it does have rumble support if your wondering).
In NA, they finally released a bunch of games with light gun support.
- Wild Gunman
- Hogan's Alley
- The Adventures of Bayou Billy

I heard that certain GBA games could not be released in Europe because of EU safety rules. Some said mercury, but I don't think that's the case.
Virtual Console technology has been getting better over time. Maybe they'll support special SNES peripherals and GBA gyro sensor later on?

I hope they release those SNES titles someday, Battle Clash looks pretty aweseome.
Well this is slightly disappointing. Nearly a month a rumor appear about NST working on a free to play title involving amiibo. Which sounded like a nice change from their endless stream of Mario vs DK titles (does anyone here play them?) It now turns out the game has been unveiled as Mario vs DK: amiibo challenge. Starts bout 0:53 seconds in. (the start is just other games that use amiibo). Another MvDK title for Wii U/3DS? Did we need another? Tipping Stars came out less than year ago. |

What's worse is that it only uses Mario characters (minus Wario). I can get Sonic and Ryu getting passed over, but why on Earth are (c)Nintendo characters like Link and Samus getting passed over?

May as well change the name of the company to "Mario vs. Donkey Kong Technology" at this point.  |

I did play Mini-Land Mayhem! And I hated its final boss. I just can't beat that level without taking damage. Well, I'm not surprised at all. I've never heard of that rumour, but I wouldn't have read it as anything other than MvsDK with amiibo. (Also, they're proposing going mobile and people aren't happy? Come on, with their latest product being a JavaScript engine, did they still expect any better?) What's worse is that it only uses Mario characters (minus Wario). I can get Sonic and Ryu getting passed over, but why on Earth are (c)Nintendo characters like Link and Samus getting passed over? Because this is still a Mario game. If anything, the character lineup looks more like a generic Mario spinoff than before. This looks like another game that has fallen victim to Nintendo's "stop making anything original and stick to our standard" requirement on Mario spinoffs. |

The thing is though, is that NCL is more pushing this as an amiibo game than a standard Mario spinoff. I think as an amiibo game, there should be much greater variety than what we'd see in a regular MvsDK.

That's kinda lame... it would have so cool to see Mini Toy versions of Nintendo characters... imagine that... Mini Samus, Mini Link, Mini Isabelle, Mini Inkling, etc. But no, we get generic robot toys... why call it "Mini Mario & Friends" or even "amiibo Challenge"?

Well you should probably know by now that Pokemon Red, Blue and Yellow are available for download on 3DS as of last week.
In Europe Pokemon Ranger was released last week and for this upcoming week Advance Wars: Dual Strike will also be available to download.

On the Wii U eShop, Super Mario Advance 1, 2 and 4 (with e-Reader content) have been released in PAL regions. There is also a special deal, if you buy two of them, the third game is free.
Now is it worth buying GBA versions of SMA 1 and 2 (and getting the SMA 4 free which I already own on and the only new content being the e-Reader levels) or it worth buying the original NES/SNES versions?

SNES Super Mario All-Stars > GBA Super Mario Advance series IMO
GBA has washed-out graphics, worse resolution and worse audio, and 1 (SMB2) and 2 (SMW) don't add enough new contents to make the GBA version great. Maybe you'll want the GBA SMA2 for different Luigi physics, but otherwise it's not too outstanding.
At least SMA3 and SMA4 have new levels. The first two don't.
