I hate to say it, but I really want a Wii U just to play Metroid Fusion on something other than a GBA. I agree so good... but at the same time I am a bit biased towards the game.
In short, GBA on WiiU is great! No, really!

Howdy folks!
So I've been griping about GBA games on WiiU and the fact that they really belong on 3DS, however after spending a few hours with Metroid Fusion I have to say that I really love the emulator.
The thing is that it is possible to just download these roms from any site and play them on emulators on PC of course, or if you are savvy try for emulators on your phone or tablet like many folks do. But I digress.
The fact is that I dont like looking at tiny screens and dont want to play portable games on my computer screen-- I really need proper controls to play these older games and the gamepad is perfect for me. The GBA games are blown up a bit on the gamepad, but they look really good! You can play on the gamepad or TV, which is considerably more pixelated (on TV). I don't mind pixels or pixel art really. I say the more pixels the better. I panick if I don't see pixels in retro games. I actually prefer the blocky pixels than the smoother iphone retro games like FF4 and such( abomination art). You can also smooth the visual with settings, but I prefer the old school look.
So yeah, I will be purchasing more GBA games for WiiU in the near future. I've been enjoying playing on the gamepad more than I though I would.
Next up "Golden Sun" and possibly "Mario & Luigi RPG".
I hope we get Golden Sun 2 or maybe Final Fantasy Tactics Advance or the GBA Final Fantasy games.
By the way, Metroid Fusion is SO good! SO good! Oh my god, it came out in 2002, and god I'm getting old!
