No Super Mario Land 1 is an interesting choice.

It's baffling since SML launched with the Game Boy and 3DS VC.

I don't care too much because 2 is soooo much better than 1. And it's 100% coming later.

Hoping Pokémon games come eventually as they are honestly the biggest GB titles by far. Some people would subscribe just for them I imagine, but I guess they don't want to risk moving any attention away from Scarlet and Violet for now.

Gargoyle's Quest!!! Oh Man it was one of my very first Game Boy games and I absolutely loved it. Playing an actual bad dude, a Demon! It brings back great childhood memories!

This is a pretty dope lineup. 4 of the 10 best games in the GBA library right away.
There is a glaring lack of the most significant Game Boy game in Pokémon however.

Link's Awakening DX and Superstar Saga are such excellent games.
Surprised Wario Land 4 is not there yet, also love that one.

I'd love to play WL4 for the 3rd way, haha. I have the GBA cart and the game on 3DS (Ambassador).
Wario Land 4 is a classic.

It's one of my favorite gba games. Finding the secrets on my own felt really good while playing it, even as they are not hard or anything.

Hope they can de Dragon Warrior Monsters at some point. Bought the game on impulse back when I was a kid and played the absolute hell out of it.

Already a pretty decent line-up though.
