Well at least for me, I don't own Link's Awakening DX so I'm looking forward to that on the VC (along with other old GB games - heck Super Mario Land came out before I was born!)
And the flash cart comment referred to future 3DS software. I basically meant that "until playing pirated copies is possible, the system is useless"
Either way, like I said, my reasoning for getting the system is completely different and is only based on my current circumstances anyway, so I'm not exactly "in" on what popular opinion is.
