- Mario Kart: Super Circuit
- Metroid Fusion
- F-Zero: Maximum Velocity
- WarioWare Inc
- Mario vs Donkey Kong
- Wario Land 4
- Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones
- Kirby & The Amazing Mirror
awww yea thats some good ones
And in a good time! since many of the new 3DS tittles will be launched next year.
A tittle is the small dot above an “i”.
These are fcking epic
Awesome, they’re finally here. :D
W00T! Not only is Warioware Inc confirmed, but Wario Land 4 and Kirby & The Amazing Mirror! Dammit, friday can’t pass soon enough!
MINISH CAP YEAH!!!!
YES YES YES YES YES
Yeah they are AWESOME
“MY ORGASM IS READY”!! THANK YOU NINTENDO!
yea! awsome!
Absolutely brilliant line up. Shame about no Mario and Luigi Superstar Saga as I’ve always wanted to play that, but unlike the NES games, there is not one of them that I don’t want play. Minish Cap FTW
Thank you Nintendo for Minish Cap! I would have personally replaced Mario Vs. DK with Mario & Luigi Superstar Saga. Nothing against Mario Vs. DK as it was a pretty good game, but I would have loved to have Mario & Luigi instead.

I love you nintendo for minish cap ( I keep thinking that i was the first person to know it will be released as a free game because i read the ONM article,lol)
LuCKiLy i already have superstar saga and have finished it multiple times due to my file beaning erased.
I was hoping for the Advance Wars games, Metroid Zero Mission, and Mother 1+2 / Mother 3, but it is still not a bad lineup.
Awesome list would have prefered metroid zero mission and superstar saga, but this list is still great.
i cant wait for yoshis island and warios land.
and fusion too.
cool story bro
Reward for getting the 3ds at launch,thank you Nintendo:D
Fzero, Mariokart, Zelda and Yoshis Island is what im looking forward too! :D :D
me 2 mate.
I am surprised at Mario Kart. Nintendo is known for pacing releases and never releasing something that might conflict with sales on a current release. Seeing as MK7 just came out, I would not have thought they would put out Super Circuit on the basis it could cannibalize sales.
Unlikely, the reason being is when you put it in this logic:
Did releasing the legend of zelda affect the sales of OOT3D
It seems like it might, but due to the exclusiveness, retro-ness and availability, it will have as much affect on sales as throwing a rock at a door.
coincidently, I have been playing Rock of ages..
But this Mario Kart will only be available to ambassadors, not for sale.
i beleive nintendo said these games will be released eventually to public, or was that the nes games?
only the NES games, the GBA games will only be available to ambassadors
thats not cool…They should release the GBA games into the shop as well…
Great line-Up and it is coming this freakin friday.
I personally would love to play Mario & Luigi but these games are great too. Thank you Nintendo
I was also quite surprised NOT to see that title. Ah well.
I knew it would be worth the wait.
good i cant wait
Those are some very awesome games and some of them I don’t even own on the GBA but alas I don’t have a 3DS.
Enjoy your games though if you are part of the Ambassador Program. Some of them are real gems.
Finally we have a list :D
Those are some awesome games and I only own 3 of them, so that’s really good!
And it’s just amazing that they even put a Fire Emblem game in there!
Yeah I was shocked too but I’ll take it!
Incredible lineup! The only improvement possible would be if we were getting Pokémon Emerald.
Actually that would be impossible since it would then be eleven games.
I meant instead of one of the others.
I know.
Wait for the 18th we might get a remake for emerald.
We won’t. If they remake the Hoenn games, it’ll will be Ruby and Sapphire. Look at the pattern for the previous remakes.
FireRed & LeafGreen (Not Yellow)
HeartGold & SoulSilver (Not Crystal)
That list is immense!! Epic – Fire Emblem, Minish Cap! What’s the price cut? I’m way out of the new atm. Just bought the white/Mario 3D Land bundle… does that count?
Sorry but you would’ve had to have bought the 3DS before 12th August, I think that was the date you had to register your system by.
Unfortunately the new systems will not be getting this, at least for now according to Nintendo. The GBA games are “exclusive” for the people who bought the 3DS early when it was at full price.
I wish they would change their minds and gave us Ambassadors the games for free, but allowing the newcomers to buy them on the eShop…
Ah, that’s a shame. Would have bought it earlier but… (and this does sound incredibly lame) I was waiting for the white one… goes with my DS and Wii. (and my PSP – but shhh, don’t utter those words here!) Oh well.
You’d think the true N fan would’ve been there, done that.
I never had a Gameboy advance because I was a true N fan still playing with the orignal Gameboy and the Gameboy Color
NO POKEMON!!!! :'(
There are some top tier games on that list. Enjoy it, my friends. Nintendo always comes through for us.
Finally, Nintendo deliver.
That’s an outstanding selection.
Very pleased.
Aww no Pokemon emerald. But really happy with the rest :)
i have a question. when will the people who didnt purchase the 3DS before the price cut get the chance to BUY one of these games?
It was stated a while ago that they had no plans to release the GBA games for purchase (unlike the first batch of NES games). However that doesn’t mean no, just not in the near future. There is still a chance later the could come.
I think that Nintendo said these are exclusive to the Nintendo Ambassadors. Although I dont think that they will forever only be for the Nintendo Ambassadors.
They said the NES games would be available later to the public; as for the GBA games they have no plans to release them for the moment (at least these ones).
These are supposedly Nintendo Ambassador exclusives. They might release other GBA games for purchase in the future, which would explain the lack of any Pokemon game, but for the time being, these are only for Ambassadors.
I’ve only played 4 of these, but most of the others I would have gotten after I played later games in the series.
OH GOD.
Wish I didn’t buy the 3ds on day one…
Whaaat!? These set of games is incredible!
Mario Kart and F-Zero are the best unrealistic racing series’ that exist.
Not to mention that Minish Cap is a great game and the best handheld Zelda game there is. Oh, and Fire Emblem is an amazing series, and this was the first one I got and me and many of my friends enjoyed it.
Not that it is a bad list of games, but had I known, I probably would have opted to wait and get it for the cheaper price and not gotten the games. $100 is worth a little more to me than 20 old NES and GBA games.
The damage is done and I am glad I am getting the games, but all-in-all I would have waited, given the chance.
You mean $80 and tbh the value you’re getting is more than compensating for it.
Seeing as you bought it day one without knowing about the price cut, you wouldn’t be complaining if the price was never dropped and would have bought it regardless.
This list is alot stronger than the NES list. Also, inb4delay.
Verily. Much stronger than the NES list.
Yes! This makes me happy. I never had a GBA, so these games mean that much more to me.
i got my gba when the ds had already came out! So i have none of these. All i played on gba was pokemon.,..
Yes! Minish Cap!! Fridays a good day.
The fact they included the worst GBA Fire Emblem game (Which is still awesome) tells me they’ve got something under wraps concerning Blazing Sword…
Sacred stones is hardly the worst of the GBA ones. Of all the games, it is one of the few that have brought massive improvements to the gameplay and story. Some dislike these improvements, some enjoy them.
And they probably wont do anything concerning Blazing Sword until they remake the remaining japanese games. Then hopefully they will release one game with FE6&7.
How dare you call FE:SS the worst GBA game. >.> I always play that game when I was a kid. :p
He meant the worst of the GBA Fire Emblem games.
The list is good. Would’ve definitely liked a Pokemon title and/or Superstar Saga in place of F-Zero and Yoshi. More of an RPG presence in the Ambassador titles as a whole would’ve been great.
I actually enjoyed Sacred Stones. Sure, the story may not be as epic as 7 or others, but hey, the map mechanic was nice! That allowed me to not have to arena grind. Instead, I slay monsters.
Sacred Stones was a great game. The map mechanics were awesome and the choice of class changing was nice. I even preferred the story over Blazing Sword’s story.
All I wanted was Minish Cap, everything else is icing on the cake. :)
Awww, shit…
Gonna take a while to clean this mess up from my computer. :(
ha ha ha ha
Sacred stones is one of my favorite video games of all time, definitely the best on the list.
WATH THE HELL!! I WAS TOTALLY IN HOPE THAT MARIO & LUIGI SUPER SAGA WAS GOING TO BE ON THE TEN GAMES,NINTENDO SHOULD PUT THAT GAME!
rage much? its a great game, I am a proud owner of it, but you should remember thats like shooting a rocket at the moon and hoping the moon explodes, you should be happy for minish cap, mario kart, f zero, M V DK, metroid, fire emblem, OMG WARIO LAND 4 IS THERE, I DIDNT KNOW IT EXISTED!!!!

Well, this is pretty decent I guess.
Although I already have Minish Cap and am somewhat disappointed at the lack of Pokémon…
Pokemon definitely -should’ve- been on the list. No question about that.
I find this easy to masturbate to!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yes quite,I concur.

Will they ever be released in the E-Shop :|?
Nope.
BOOMSHAKALAKA
i know what im doing friday now. can’t wait for minish cap, this is a strong line up.
I know what I’m doing friday…. Just gotta buy some rope and a gag.
My body is ready!!!
I’ll take that body…
I’ve only played 2 of these, so I’m pretty happy!
º3º
The only thing I would do is replace Fire Emblem Sacred Stones with Fire Emblem. (Sacred stones is for n00bs)
Other than that, the list is AWESOME
I already own 4 of those games.
I own 6 of them. Want a prize? It’s dangerous to go alone, take this cookie!
OH GOD YES! Better than the NES list, maybe becuase of Fire Emblem and WarioWare Inc, but I CANT FUCKING WAIT!
Wow, these are amazing. Thank you Nintendo after the terrible NES games.
As one of the few people who didn’t think highly of Minish Cap or Kirby and the Amazing Mirror, I might give those a pass. I’ll think about it.
But Wario Land 4 has always been one of my favorite platformers and I never did finish Fire Emblem Sacred Stones so yeah I’d say this selection just raped the memory on my SD card. Well played Nintendo, well played.
You don’t have to download them, but bring pepper spray just in case.
:( there’s no mario world or smb3 :( anyway most of them are epic some of them i have just played them as emulator roms (sorry i never had a GBA)
Brilliant selection of games there. Really looking forward to playing Minish Cap, it’s the only Zelda games I haven’t played yet. I hear it’s really good.
You what would be crazy if there was any type of online besides leader boards haha
O_o no way zelda Mc wario land 4 and kirby amazing mirror my favorite gba games! this is not real i must be dreaming
I was NOT expecting Fire Emblem :D
Yay! I can’t wait, but of course I found a copy of minish cap a week ago and bought it, oh well, no problem in having two. This friday can’t come soon enough
I am very happy about these games, a much better lineup than the nes ones :)
NOOOO Why Minish Cap? I just bought a copy XD But oh well, Friday’s gonna be awesome!!
Merry Christmas from Nintendo!
I’m glad I bought my 3DS the first day it came out!
Me too
>Minish Cap
All I’ve ever wanted. Thank you.

Nothing like a little motivation to kill your last exam. Can’t wait. Would have loved to see some Earthbound, Superstar Saga, or Golden Sun in there, but these top the NES games tenfold. Thank you, Nintendo!
Golden Sun (either one) and FE: The Sealed Sword (Japan’s GBA Fire Emblem game) would NOT have hurt, but the list is still awesome!
These games probably weren’t included because Golden Sun isn’t really such a well known game.
And not to mention that The Sealed Sword is Japanese and that it and Blazing Sword sold far less than The Sacred Stones due to the games rising popularity in the west.
I was expecting pokemon firered and leafgreen but oh well the lineup is amazing thought
Why would you expect them both?
OMG awesome games! Cannot wait to play Minish Cap, it was the first Zelda game i ever played and i haven’t been able to play it since i was 7. <3333
Thank you so much Nintendo!
That is a solid lineup if I’ve ever seen one. Kudos, Nintendo.
YESH! I AM SO FREAKIN’ HAPPY!
Cool. I hope they come out early like everything else(nes games+dec update).
HAHAHAHAHAHAAAA!!!! xD *going insane*
friday friday
gotta get it down on friday
Zelda games are all that i have ever dreamed of playing I WANT MINISH CAP
Awesome!!! These are the good ones
I wish I had bought it at release JUST for Minish Cap…I loved that game and was hoping it would be available to download. Seeing it on this list really dissapoints me. If only I had had the money to buy it back then…
But oh well, congrats to all of you who did buy it at release! You definitley deserve it.
¡Joder que sí!
i’ve only played 1 witch is yoshi’s island and it was on my list of best games EVER! can’t wait to play the others!

Kirby and Zelda makes me a HAPPY PERSON FOREVER AND EVER
MINISH CAP AND FIRE EMBLEM BITCHES!!!
That is one hot line up. Now all the people who were whining over the lack of these games (a lot of early adopters) will have to find to something else to bitch about. For the record, I bought my system on day 1.
MINISH CAP!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh Nintendo I’m not gonna use a condom this time!!!
Guys! Look on the eshop where you got your NES games!!!
I’ve had my fingers crossed for Minish Cap. (:
Minish Cap yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!! <3
I just nerdgasmed so hard. This combined with the games on Club Nintendo make for epic early Christmas gifts
WHOO! MINISH CAP!
I love you, Nintendo.
I was hopeing for one of the Donkey Kong Country ports, I’m sad now.
Don’t be sad, you’re gaining ten of the finest games ever released on the GBA!
Sucks therre is no Mario and Luigi but, great list of games! Thanks Nintendo :D
Great line-up. Thanks Nintendo. I played some of those, but I do not mind having them again plus the new ones. :D
Hey, I’m in NZ and can already download these games. You might want to check and see if you can too!
