[Yes Boss!]

That is an amazing list!

[ColonelSkills]

Sweet. Fire Emblem! Hoping that's what we get too.

F-Zero For Gameboy Advance

Do we know which one of these it is? There was three of 'em.

[rozay]

Which F-Zero? Maximum Velocity, GP Legend or Climax?

[Turok_TTZ]

Fire emblem 6 should have been it, not sacred stones.

[KnightAttack]

I would be more than okay if those come to North America, especially since I don't have a lot of those.

Despite owning multiple other copies, I'd still rather have Mario 3 or SMW than Yoshi's Island.

[duckroll]

Which F-Zero? Maximum Velocity, GP Legend or Climax?

F-Zero: Maximum Velocity. Sorry for the confusion, I updated with the English title.

[Link0080]

Yay Minish Cap!
Which is Super Mario Advance 3? SMW??

[Suairyu]

Well, props to Nintendo; they actually give you a decent selection of decent titles. WarioLand 4 was my first ever GBA game and I still think it's lovely to this day.

F-Zero For Gameboy Advance Super Mario Advance 3 Legend of Zelda: Minish Cap Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones Kirby & The Amazing Mirror Mario Kart: Super Circuit Mario vs. Donkey Kong Metroid Fusion Wario Land 4 WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgames

not bad at all - i sold Metroid Fusion, Super Mario Advance 3, F-Zero and Mario Kart on tuesday. lol.

Which is Super Mario Advance 3? SMW??

Yoshi's mother fudging best game in the series Island.

[Poyunch]

All I needed was a confirmation for Minish Cap. I am pleased.

[hamchan]

I'm happy with any Fire Emblem.

[SteveWinwood]

Oh wow. That's a damn good list. Now just give them to us.

[Rarutos]

Great choices in games! Love that Fire Emblem is in there. <3

[watkinzez]

Awesome! Was hoping for Wario Land 4 after reading Parish's retrospective on 1UP.

[dallow_bg]

Welp, I own them all as I thought.
Will be fun to replay some.

[Zee-Row]

Damn I wanted Super Mario Bros 3 with all the e-reader stages unlocked!

[Struct09]

Awesome list!

[InsaneZero]

Fire emblem six should have been it, not sacred stones.

Sword of Seals, while decent, was not as polished or well-designed as the later games on the GBA. Personally, I think Blazing Sword should've made the cut instead, but I can't really complain about Sacred Stones.

[KarmaCow]

Pretty good list, would probably replace F-Zero though.

[cvxfreak]

Excellent list!

[soxinthebox]

Too bad I already have original copies of half these but hey, free stuff!

[duckroll]

Yay Minish Cap! Which is Super Mario Advance 3? SMW??

It's Yoshi's Island. Posts like this continue to remind me how confusing English and Japanese titles could be in the past. Lol.

[DrAndonuts]

Does it actually give a release date, or is it just "coming soon"?

[methodman]

wow that's a great fucking list

[ColtraineGF]

Minish Cap and Wario Land 4! Great choices :)

[NathanMcMahon]

Minish Cap is worth it all the price on it is still sorta ridiculous if you're lookign for the cart

[cw_sasuke]

Minish Cap - Oh Shit----

[Poyunch]

Pretty good list, would probably replace F-Zero though.

Preparation for a new F-Zero.

[Vamphuntr]

Really nice list!

Minish Cap, Super Mario Advance 3, Metroid Fusion and Fire Emblem SS are amazing games.

[Franklinator]

YES MINISH CAP

edit: I didn't even know that Wario Land 4 existed. You guys seem to be happy about it, though, so I'm looking forward to it. And is Sacred Stones the 2nd GBA Fire Emblem?

[Zee-Row]

Looks like being an early adopter doesn't suck.

[MasterShotgun]

Finally.

Damn that's a good list. I was hoping Super Mario World was one of them, but I also wasn't expecting an F-Zero game. All my other hopes came true. (Minish Cap, a Fire Emblem, and Wario Land 4)

EDIT: DECEMBER 16th?!?! Oh god please let that also be true for non-Japan regions.

[Thoraxes]

Holy fuck.
3DS owners learn their lesson again (that it was OK to buy early).

[SteveWinwood]

Yay Minish Cap! Which is Super Mario Advance 3? SMW??

3 was yoshi's island right? 2 was world? And 4 was smb3...

Stupidest numbering ever.

[duckroll]

Does it actually give a release date, or is it just "coming soon"?

Dec 16 2011 in Japan. I'm updating the OP and the title.

Sweet. Sooner than I thought.

[Bernbaum]

I only ever got the NES games on my US 3DS. When are these available?

[Freezie KO]

Nice.

[Peagles]

Awesome list!

This. I'm really pleased! Hopefully remains the same outside of Japan.

Fake edit: Actually bugger though, I only just managed to get Minish Cap on GBA complete with box and manual!

[Mistle]

So good!

haha, awesome gif (last ep D:)

[AbsoluteZero]

Neat, I've never gotten to play Minish Cap or Amazing Mirror and always wanted to.

[KarmaCow]

Preparation for a new F-Zero.

More like this counts as the latest installment in the series.

[ColtraineGF]

[SteveWinwood]

Nintendo: Why would you want another F-Zero? We just gave you one!

[Mrbob]

Seriously amazing freebie list there. These are going to make up for the NES freebies.

[Dark Schala]

Fire emblem 6 should have been it, not sacred stones.

Needs more Rekka no Ken... though I would have taken Sword of Seals. I have a boxed copy of Sacred Stones... and it's a good game. People'll enjoy it if they haven't played it.

The rest of the list looks great.
