3DS: GBA Ambassador games are revealed and up in all regions

We SHOULD get it today. But it's still 6:30 AM at Nintendo of America, so we'll still have to wait a couple of hours at the very least.
Why should we get it today if they're not up in Japan yet and haven't been announced here yet? Tomorrow at the earliest.
Now I want to know when the updated ROMs are coming.

Yeah, give em time to wake up, head to work, and get their morning coffee fix. ;p
Nothing using the link cable will work. These games are using the 3DS's DS chip to run software natively, so there's no emulation layer to "fake" a cable.
Well... yeah.
I mean, it's not like someone is going to stay there until 3 AM waiting to translate what Nintendo of Japan just sent and send it.
I believe Nintendo said nope. They will add them when they put the titles up on the eShop

My problem with the GBA Mode7 F-Zero games is the draw distance is bad making the courses annoying to play (don't get me started on the "stop your car before the edge" challenge in climax). The 160 pixels of the GBA compared to 240 on the SNES are the culpret if you ask me.

Thinking about it, the Japanese release of Advance Wars is probably what killed it for consideration since it was bundled with AW2 there (as Game Boy Wars Advance 1+2). 
No imports probably also killed stuff like Drill Dozer or Kururin, which while localized into english didn't see worldwide release. I'm actually a little surprised not to see any Pokémon representation, figured we'd at least get a spinoff like Pinball or something.

That is a really great list. Kind of wish Sacred Stones was...any of the other Fire Emblems since it was probably the worst one (imo). Also F-Zero GP Legend > F-Zero Maximum Velocity.
That being said, I am really pleased with this list. Wario Land 4, Metroid Fusion, Zelda Minish Cap, Kirby and the Amazing Mirror, and Yoshi's Island alone are enough to make this totally worth it.

You sir, are a gentleman etc.
On a side note: I didn't check all/many of them but it's downright shameful how internet sites are deleting old articles and reviews. Page not found, page not found,... So much for legacy.. But, heh; IGN, of all places, still has them all.
The only game I'm not entirely happy about is F-Zero, because I've never been a fan of the SNES-style F-Zero games. (I loves me some X and GX, though.)
Great list. Glad but not surprised to see Minish Cap there. I've been wanting to replay that. One last hurrah for Zelda's Anniversary year.

They probably didn't want to give both Zero Mission and Metroid 1.
I have to say I'm relieved that the only Mario Advance game there is Yoshi's Island. The rest of the Mario Advance games can be found on the Wii Virtual Console. I'm glad Link to the PAst isn't there for the same reason.

It would also be nice if we could unlock the Zero Mission pictures like we could on the GBA but I doubt that'll happen.
EDIT: Maybe I'm confusing what could be unlocked on each of the games.
You're getting Fire Emblem. Unless Nintendo decides to make an exception for the US. Europe and Australia are getting Fire Emblem, so why would America be any different?

You're my enemy. Screw AW.

That's the other way around, you can unlock the Japanese exclusive Fusion ending pictures in the US Zero Mission.
I was really hoping that we'd get an Advance Wars game but that's still a pretty fantastic list. The only game I'm not thrilled about is Mario Kart, and only because it's sort of pointless between no multiplayer and the fact that a brand new MK was JUST released so I doubt I'll go back to the GBA version.

I have to say I'm happy with everything, but I wish Yoshi's Island was replaced with a GBA original instead (Mario & Luigi, Advance Wars, Golden Sun, Drill Dozer, Kururin, etc). We deserve the superior SNES original on Wii VC.

I'll add while the games were the same the versions were not due to a number of the games coming out on Famicom Disk System (so Metroid had save slots). Zelda 2 had a number of changes too.
I guess FE:Sacred Stones (and other GBA games?) are kind of like that too.
FE:SS is so different from normal Fire Emblem games, but I really liked it. I know people hate grinding and crap, but I really liked having something to do other than advance the story. I hope the others will be released on the eshop in the future though. Really happy to see Minish Cap, and Fusion is nice, but I'd rather have Zero Mission Still an amazing list and I love my 3DS even more now!

Number of AW games in development: 0
Number of FE games in development: 1
Now re-read your post and tell me why you think that matters.
Doubtful. We received the same games as Japan before didn't we?

Thats a nice selection of games, hope non JP get those games as well.

number of combined aw & fe games coming to the west: 0
Until told otherwise, I am pretty sure we'll be getting FE 3DS.
Are you tell me that will get F-Zero 3DS ?
I like how you think.

Came here to ask this. I see JP and EU are confirmed but nothing from NOA.
Hope the list is the same. And if it's any different I hope it includes ALTTP.

I would not be surprised if Monster Games were working on an F-Zero title, honestly.
