Game Boy retro-gaming for the 3DS
AdvertisementWith the Nintendo 3DS having just gone on sale in Japan featuring a Game Boy Store to get your retro-gaming hit, this seems a very appropriate time to look at a ranking survey from goo Ranking into what games people would like to see available in said store.
Demographics
Over the 20th and 21st of December 2010 1,128 members of the goo Research online monitor group completed a private internet-based questionnaire. 65.4% of the sample were female, 11.9% in their teens, 17.2% in their twenties, 30.2% in their thirties, 23.2% in their forties, 10.0% in their fifties, and 7.4% aged sixty or older. Note that the score in the results refers to the relative number of votes for each option, not a percentage of the total sample.
I hope the translations of the titles are OK – about a third of them seemed to be Japan-only releases, but a search with Google should help you out with the details.
Never having owned a Game Boy, I cannot offer my own suggestions!

Unfortunately, the 3DS launched without the online store being ready yet. It is expected to go live in May. Interesting how Super Mario Land 2 made this list but not Super Mario Land.
