Nintendo has announced the launch today of Game Boy Advance games for the Wii U Virtual Console in North America and Europe, highlighting eight titles for next month.

On April 3, Wii U owners can purchase Advance Wars, Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga, and Metroid Fusion for $7.99/?6.99. On April 10, Kirby & The Amazing Mirror and Wario Ware, Inc.: Mega Microgame$ join the service for $6.99/?6.99. The latter half of the month brings F-Zero: Maximum Velocity and Golden Sun to Wii U on April 17 for $6.99/?6.99 and $7.99/?6.99, respectively, with Super Mario Advance 3: Yoshi's Island rounding things out April 24 for $7.99/?6.99.
I'm excited most for Advance Wars and Yoshi's Island. The other titles look great too.

Metroid Fusion; 'nuff said.

Although I must wonder why the GBA titles are only coming to Wii U and if multiplayer will be supported. Great to see Mario Advance 3 as well, but I for one am a stickler for Mario Advance 4; Mario 3 was just too good for its own good.

I wish it was Metroid: Zero Mission, and for the 3DS. I don't want any of these games on the WiiU, I want them portable... Already have Metroid Fusion on the 3DS, so the Wii U version should automatically be downloaded IMO.

With respect, I don't think people will be rushing to spend $300 on a Wii U to play old GBA games.

Whoa, nice. I just started AoS myself and GP Legend is the only localized F-Zero game I haven't played.

People who are on the fence that maybe don't quite see enough games on it yet might decide that gba games that be enough to hold them over. I have seen a few people say they would get I just to gba games thoigh because they can't find cheap gba's anywhere.

Already have most of these as 3DS Ambassador games and own Superstar Saga on cartridge. Might get Golden Sun and Advance Wars when I get an eShop card.
