There’s a rumour floating around the Internet that the entire list of twenty free Nintendo 3DS Virtual Console games has leaked onto the Internet. To me the list looks rather dubious, but I’ll let you guys make up your own mind. What do you think? A fanboys dream, or legitimate?
NES
Super Mario Bros.
Donkey Kong Jr.
Balloon Fight
Ice Climber
The Legend of Zelda
Metroid
Super Mario Bros. 2
Kid Icarus
Zelda II: The Adventure of Link
Kirby’s AdventureGBA
Yoshi’s Island: Super Mario Advance 3
Mario Kart: Super Circuit
Metroid Fusion
WarioWare, Inc.: Minigame Mania
Mario vs. Donkey Kong
Pokemon Emerald
The Legend Of Zelda: The Minish Cap
Kirby And The Amazing Mirror
Super Mario Ball
WarioWare Twisted (Up To Date 3DS Motion Controls)
This… would be so good.
But, I’m hesitant to accept it without Nintendo’s approval /:
They all SEEM likely but I doubt it’s real…
3 zelda games!
I wish it’s true !!
if it is true how do you find them
I don’t know. Pokemon Emerald and Twisted are ringing alarm bells. Can’t see either of them happening… We’ll see.
Yeah i agree
Twisted with the new gyro controls would be incredible.
is this is the Ambassador program ?
Pokemon Emerald is complete bullshit. There’s no point to it
Battle Frontier, better story, re-battling gym leaders. Emerald is better than Ruby and Sapphire put together. It’s the best of both worlds and it adds more, as with all third games in a generation.
Agreed with this completely.
Yeah… until you realize you can’t trade/battle with anybody or have any sort of communication with your friends. It makes zero sense to have any main Pokemon game on VC, imo.
It’s going to support multiplayer with NES games, why wouldn’t they allow online/local trading. But I totally think it’s fake.
YES bro
Pokemon Emerald is one of the best and my personal favorite.
Yeah Pokemon Emerald is my childhood game! ALL time favourite, so many awesome memories ^_^
You are a troll.
Captain Obvious away!
I don’t want two WarioWare games. One will do. They could whack an F-Zero game in perhaps.
Liking this. :D
Poke’mon? Unless Nintendo are REALLY kind, definitely a fanboy’s dream.
yea it is
Would they do pokemon emerald? That would be the one I play the least. If I want to play it, I would play the original with all my lv.100 pokémon.
The rest looks pretty neat.
The Pokémon Emerald throws me off. Everything else is the super-classic very Nintendo-ish. And then Pokémon. I know Nintendo owns it, but it’s just never felt as ingrained in Nintendo history as everything else on that least (at least in terms of how I feel).
That said, I kind of hope it’s true. I own a surprisingly small amount of these games because it’s not been more than a few short years since I realised how good Nintendo are at making portable games.
It’s not ingrained into Nintendo history because it didn’t come until 15 years ago
Not to mention the fact that the will probably be remaking Ruby and Sapphire in the next few years….
the gba games are great
cant w8
Oh man, I hope this is real! Something tells me that Pokemon Emerald is a long shot though.
Same, but I hope older Pokemon games get put on VC!
I don’t really think they’d give pokemon emerald version (one of the best pkmn games ever by the way) that easily. Such a game would take up a lot of space, plus it would sell like crazy if included in the Virtual Console. So yeah, it might be fake…
I imagine it would take no more space than the GBA cartridge, which isn’t very much compared to now.
This is great, BUT!
Nintendo says, if I remember correctly, that these free GBA games won’t be on sale in the future. So it’s kinda unlikely that Minish Cap is on the list, maybe a few other games too. Unfortunately.
i actually think i read that they WOULD be putting the games on sale later on in the future, but they will have updates on them, like new colors or better graphics(as good as they could get them) & ppl who got them via Ambassador, would be able to upgrade them. I actually think i read that info from the Nintendo of America tweet. and(not to be a jerk or bash you, because i could be wrong, but) i believe i read that minish cap, or a gba game would be a free download in the future. i would imagine they want ppl to get into downloading games, even if they have to give out a few free no-brainer-selling, games.
Zelda Four Swords is the one that’s gonna be free download :P
This has to be made up, right? For starters, I’ve heard of all the games. Surely Nintendo would chuck in a couple of unknowns to get people interested?
Super Mario Ball didn’t exactly light the world on fire last I checked.
Pokemon is the only one I’m really interested in but it also seems the most unlikely.
I thought Super Mario Advance 4: SMB3 was confirmed alongside the Kirby game… Hmm…
crap, forgot about those ones! damn, hope this list changes then lol
idk if SMB3 was confirmed, but that would be EPIC! i know they have yoshi’s island confirmed(i think they said it was super mario advance 3). i didn’t hear anything about the Kirby game, but that would be sick. i beat the 3.99 downloadable game in about 30 mins. good game, but it wasn’t as hard as it was when i was 8 and easily frustrated! #thankyouyearsofgaming
yea this is legit I received an email from Nintendo about it earlier it’s called the ambassador program.. http://www.nintendo.com/consumer/systems/3ds/en_na/3dsambassador.jsp?menu=about&submenu=ctr-gi-amb-available-games
Well, we already knew about the ambassador program and the 1st 10 games. These maybe the other 10 games, but it’s just a rumor, so it’s not 100% legit.
no that can’t be right !!!! but i would be v.cool :)
I wish Harvest Moon Friends of Mineral Town was there….
Alot of these look preety cool, but then again I’m not into Mario 2 or Zelda 2 and I’m very surprised they didn’t put in Mario 3.
^^ oh well, free games are free games!
That’s exactly how I feel
If this is real, it’s kind of awesome. But not that it matters because I don’t have a 3DS yet.
Eh, then you likely won’t EVER get the GBA games at least. Nintendo has said they currently have no plans to make them available to the general public. Not that that will never change, but as of now, these are “Ambassador” only titles, and if you don’t have a 3DS by now, you’re not an Ambassador.

I’ll have to double-check this but I recall reading somewhere that Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3 was one of the choices for GBA games and it’s not on this list. Either this is fake or I got some bad info.
Pretty sure I read that those statements were retracted so it was never confirmed.
Nope, Sickr posted a while ago that NoA customer service confirmed it. I guess this list is fake, then…
Yeah they did confirm it but than took it back again.
I’m VERY excited for these games. I haven’t played like ANY of those NES games (started at the GameCube era) except SMB, SMB 2, and Ice Climber. And the GBA games, Mario Kart SC, and Pokemon Emerald bring back memories, like when I ran from a shiny marill and my cousin FLIPPED. Plz let this list be real!!! Of course, it kinda a waste for Emerald because were getting remakes in a couple of years, but whatever.
No there will be no remakes of ruby, emerald or sapphire
And even if they are, they’ve never remade the third games.
Actually, after ruby and sapphire, they remade the first generation. After diamond and pearl, they remade the second generation. So after black and white, it would be consistent if they remade the third generation (ruby and sapphire)
You’re right, but keep in mind, Emerald came out (I don’t know if it was before green or red), then Platinum came out (Gold and Silver came after that one) so we’ll have to wait until grey comes out… probably
Can’t really believe this, but if this is true, WOW. Just WOW.
Golden Sun! Nuff Said
If this is real, I would have paid $300 for a 3DS if it included these games!
Me to!!!
I was hoping for Golden Sun 1 & 2…
Pokemon Emerald? That’s never gonna happen. If they wanted to give out a free Pokemon game, it would be older or they’d give out Ruby/Saphire instead of Emerald. But either way, I don’t think they wouldn’t give out a Pokemon game for free like that when they could get much more money because people WILL buy it.
While I’d love Pokemon Emerald, I don’t think there would be much point to it. Yellow maybe?
Yellow has less of a point than Emerald, in my opinion. Fans are producing rumors and wishes that Ruby and Sapphire will be remade, like they did for Red, Green/Blue, Gold, and Silver. Having Emerald in there is still a long shot, but in my opinion Game Freak is just “prepping” fans for the remakes by re-releasing Emerald if the list is true.
I feel that Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land would make more sense than Kirby’s Adventure.
Two wariowares are very unlikely, especially since twisted wasnt released in PAL regions
I REALLY hope this isn’t true. Two WarioWare games is pretty cheap so when there’s so many other awesome GBA games. Of course, Minish Cap would be greatly appreciated, and I don’t really want Pokemon Emerald. Seems a waste of a slot with the inevitable Ruby/Sapphire remakes eventually coming.
NES list seems predictable, but I just REALLY hope that GBA list isn’t true. I would be very disappointed. Where’s Mario Advance 2? Where’s Mario Advance 4? Where’s Golden Sun? Gutted.
whats bothering me is that some of the games are snes games… i think nintendo would have announced it of there were going to be any snes games
3 Zelda games. Looks fake.
Pokemon Emerald would be awesome if it was true :D Also 3 Zelda games, if it was all true I wouldn’t feel bad for buying a 3DS early before the price cuts XD
Needs some SNEA titles, but otherwise it’s pretty good
Seems too good to be true. Minish Cap and Pokémon Emerald? I mean, f* yeah if it’s true, but I doubt it.
Bien..!

Omg……..orgasm.
No zero mission if this is real why is nintendo completely ignoring the best metroid gba game on metroids 25th anniversary? Don’t get me wrong fusion is great but zero mission just registered better when i had a Sp, god i remember when i thought playing in the dark without a light attachment was amazing! Man technology has grown….
I know! Zero Mission is epic! But since I already have Zero Mission on the GBA I’m happy with Fusion on the 3DS… ;)
This is someones dream list. Nintendo would NEVER be this kind to us. Lol
They are giving us the games, aren’t they?
I wish but i don’t believe it will be.
My fingers are crossed that they actually pick 15 NES games and 15 GBA games and allow us Ambassadors to pick our favorite 10 of each. That way we can better avoid getting games we already have a million times over :)
I love Zelda – but both NES versions I’ve had multiple times, Same with the two NES Mario games (I prefer the versions collected in Mario All Stars anyway.)
On GBA – I’d forgo the Pokemon game.
I should note – I NEVER heard of Super Mario Ball – until I googled it and found out that’s the Europe name. In North America – it’s Mario Pinball Land. I’m excited to give this a go, never did play it before – however at least we can deduce that if this is “real” this is the European version of the list…
In Europe, Wario Ware Twisted is never arrived… Bizarre ! :p
Wow, that pretty much confirms that it’s fake. They’ve got Super Mario Ball, the European name of a game, and WarioWare Twisted which wasn’t released in Europe at all. Nintendo wouldn’t mix that up.
lol pokemon emerald? what a load of crap xD
be better if they had super mario 3…
If this is true, I will be enjoying all those games for a looooooooong time.
OH!! Do i remember those Donkey Kong days, and Mario!!!! I sometimes still wish I was young and could play games all hours of the day!!
All i can say is- PLEASEPLEASEPLEASEPLEASEPLEASE!!!!!!!!!!
As much as I want it, Minish Cap can’t be a part of the list. Remember, the Gba games won’t be released to the public. Nintendo would be a fool to not put that game on sale. The other confirmed games aren’t as big as Zelda. You have an out of date Kart game (which will get a new game if a few months) and a remake of a Mario game. The only game that sticks out is Metrioid Fusion. I’m surprised they didn’t pick Zero Mission. All in all, I’m (along with everyone else here) calling shenanigans.
If someone already asked this, I’m sorry… I really didn’t feel like reading through everyone’s post. Are the NES games supposed to be in 3D, like the two available “NES” games? That’s be kind of awesome.
No, toughs are the “3D Classics” line. These will be virtual console, like the Gameboy/Gamboy Color games.
this better be true … minish cap! *-* and i’m not surprised seeing pokemon emerald (if it really is true), but as you can’t trade pokemon and stuff, i guess there’s no big deal in playing it in my opinion.
Pokemon = Unbelievable…. :/
So…now they’re just releasing some of the Wii VC games on 3DS VC? That’s what I’m seeing.

Now, when was Super Mario Bros. 3 confirmed? I remember it was posted as a rumor.
Anyways, my feelings on the 10 rumoured games on this list are somewhat mixed. The NES games are great! But the GBA games aren’t that great to me. I’d rather have TLOZ: A Link to the Past, Golden Sun, and Fire Emblem…
I agree on all. (Although I don’t own Minish Cap, but do own Al Link to The Past)
This is more like a wish list. A main Pokemon game and Minish Cap are two of the most requested GBA games, so it’s kind of hard to believe. I do hope they include Fire Emblem though.
i don’t really care for zelda 2, but i’d still play/beat it! idk if i’d be stoked for pokemon emerald, but i’m a pokefan to heart, so i’d still rock the **** out of the game. i’d rather have pokemon yellow, because i felt like i was REALLY in the show, as Ash. pokemon pinball would be a sick download, even to purchase… but idk if this list is real & if it is real fantastic. i was almost more excited about the 10 they did release and confirm, then these added/supposed 10 that are rumored
Its probably not real because why would nintendo give out super monkey ball if it isn’t even there title.
Where the hell do you see “Super Monkey Ball” on that list? :|
We couldn’t have warioware twisted because nintendo themselves said peripheral devices wouldn’t be supported on gba games. That plus the fact that emerald would be half as fun because of no wireless features makes me sure that this is fake.
“(Up To Date 3DS Motion Controls)”
That’s exactly what nintendo said the games wouldn’t have…
The point of Pokémon is the trading aspect and that’s been updated for a strong online service. I don’t see Emerald being on the list unless it was updated to work with the current games, ie. you’d connect your 3DS Pokémon game to Emerald and transfer Pokémon.
It looks like a pretty awesome list, it makes me feel envious to those who got the 3DS already.
Ditto.

replace Pokemon Emerald with Pokemon FireRed and Super Mario Ball with Sonic Advance and I’d have absolutely no problem with this list
Emerald is the more logical choice, as it is the middle ground for the versions, and If just FireRed was put up, the LeafGreen guys would feel left out, and it would make it weird if Nintendo ever decided to put out The original games for Gameboy. Although I would completely agree with Sonic Advanced, i think they would have some licensing issues.

Pingback: ¿Listado completo de los 20 juegos para la Consola Virtual de Nintendo 3DS revelado? | Leveleando.com
Zelda 2, Mario 2, and Kirby’s Adventure don’t seem likely.
Minish Cap and Kirby seem like a good fit and even Pokemon if we had a trade system, which I doubt it’ll recieve
Oh please god just let Zelda 2 be a rumor.
I hope this isn’t 100% real. I like most of the games, but I’d rather not have two WarioWare games. Also, I don’t think Pokemon Emerald’s gonna make it. I actually hope it doesn’t, because I already have the actual game. I’d like a game I haven’t played before.
Now how awesome would it be if they put Earthbound up?
The GBA list interests me the most. Especially Pokemon Emerald.
They won’t put up Pokemon Emerald. Trading your Pokemon to the new generations would make no sense.
Only one Pokemon game? And it’s the crappiest one out of them all, too! We want Red/Blue/Yellow as well as Gold/Silver/Crystal!
Well the free games are NES and GBA. Not Gameboy or Gameboy Color.
But REGULAR virtual console should be just fine.
super mario world would be nice
I really hope Minshed Cap and Emerald was one of them, but I kind of think that if they had a Pokemon game though this, it would be one of the original Gameboy game.
I would LOVE to get Super Mario Bros 2. I know the history but I’ve a fond memory of nostalgia with that game, but I cry bullcrap with Pokemon Emerald, making the whole list seem like someone made it up. For one thing, Nintendo created Mario, Zelda, Metroid, Kid Icarus, Kirby, etc. Isn’t Pokemon technically a third-party exclusive, especially if Game Freak says they’ll make a game for smart phones? The list also mentions WarioWare Twisted being updated with 3DS motion controls. The press release said that when all the games are available in the eShop, updated versions will come out later. I call 3DS motion controls an updated version.
If this were real, I would love it to death.

The NES list is a good guess that will probs turn out true but the GBA list is a load of crap… 2 Warioware games WONT happen, Mario Bros 3 was admitted as a mistake when Mario ADVANCE 3 was intended, Pokemon Emerald is very unlikely with the Ruby/Sapphire remakes expected soonish in Japan and Super Mario Ball is just WRONG…
Give me that NES list certainly but I’d guess the GBA list will more likely have Minish Cap and Kirby, along with F-Zero, Mario and Luigi and either Advance Wars or Fire Emblem
am I the only one going balistic over minish cap?
These games i can guarantee are real i got a message on my 3ds the ones that are for sure coming out on the 3ds are
NES:
Super Mario Bros.
Donkey Kong Jr.
Balloon Fight.
Ice Climber.
The Legend of Zelda.
GBA:
Yoshi’s Island: Super Mario Advance 3.
Mario Kart: Super Circuit.
Metroid Fusion.
WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$
Mario vs. Donkey Kong.
these are all confirmed.
oh and it also states that these games will NOT be made public.
Pokemon Emerald wouldn’t work out because people are gonna want to transfer their pokemon to their generation 4 (or 5 games since it’s the most current generation right now) games, and I don’t think nintendo would provide a function in order to do that. However, you never know since nintendo always surprises us all the time.
I really hope pokemon emerald (or ruby or sapphire, for that matter) is one of the games available for the virtual console. Hoenn is the only PKMN region I haven’t explored yet.
You havn’t played hoenn!!!????? Face palm
i got the free games i really wanted kid icarus
i hope it has emereald it is freaking awesome
heh heh
Am I the only one that wants a 3D classics version of pokemon emerald?
there is no way pokemon emarald is for free along with metroid is for free its like saying bango kazooie nuts and bolts is a good game sorry fanboys…
i wish it was true but its not but the legand of zelda oracle of ages and oracle of seasons but i dont think they are free they were alredy downloaded on my 2ds when i got it off of ebay
i mean not free sorry typo
sorry nate its a fanboys dream
