Nintendo President Satoru Iwata made the announcement that these games were coming at last month's Nintendo Direct presentation. The first confirmed games for the Virtual Console were: Metroid Fusion, Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga, and Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3, with new games being added every month.
A lot of Game Boy Advance games are already available online for the 3DS, and it is questionable as to why the games are not being put out with a focus on handheld. Either way, early comments and reactions for the news have been in favor of the idea as Nintendo continues to bring its classics back.
