If this were true my tears of joy would flood my bedroom, drowning my 3DS leading to more tears, of sadness. No other studio out there understands how to create the perfect balance between a Mario Kart style racing game and a full-on competitive racer with a solid sense of speed like Monster Games.

I only played Metroid: Fusion; the rest will be new to me.
I'm surprised there was no Advance Wars. However, I'd prefer a 3DS version with all the fixings.

From the Japanese list. I know it would never come out in the US
I didn't know if they had the same games as us.Speaking of which, how long will it take for us to get these?

Will replay Minish Crap to see if there is any reason why some people do not consider it the worst non-CDi Zelda game in existence.

Why couldn't they have picked the actual good Fire Emblem game. Sacred Stones is balls.
The last FE was a remake of the sequel of the remake that people weren't too thrilled about mostly because it was a remake of a 20-year-old game. There's also the fact that Nintendo's releases this year have had a lot of text in general, which probably killed any chance. I'm confident this one will be released.
Upon further inspection, there are many titles I have not played, those I have bolded. This list is better than what I was expecting, guess Nintendo really was asking for forgiveness.
What's the general opinion on the fire emblem, kirby and wario land?

I didn't know it had a bad rap. I thought most people liked it...?
I would. Monster Games gotta be working on ExciteWhatever on Wii U. Excite is their main reason of their existence. Besides F-Zero wouldn't be F-Zero if SEGA is not in charge of it (Yes, I'm ignoring any F-Zero's other than GX.)

With that attitude, surely you'd be better off playing something you like/something new?
Picking Sacred Stones over 'Fire Emblem' is odd, but OK

my laughter still stands
Never played Fire Emblem, but Kirby's a pretty cool Metroidvania game, and Wario Land is one of the best 2-D platformers I've ever played. Anyone experiencing it for the first time is in for a tasty, tasty treat

Wow, that's a fantastic list of games. Wario Land 4, Fire Emblem: Sacred Stones, and Kirby: The Magic Mirror are games I haven't even played before. And the others I never really played for more than an hour except Warioware. Unlike the NES ambassador games, I expect to play the hell out of all of these. Can't wait!

i honestly would have preferred super mario world and not mario world 2. otherwise, its a solid list all around, though i have played/beaten most of them.

Question.
I remember reading maybe two months ago that the GBA games wont have a sleep mode. When you close your 3DS, the top screen will still be on. Is this true?

Of course I'd play what I haven't played before, but since I love Zelda and it'll be available for me to play again, I'll give Minish Crap another go. I mean, hey, a crap Zelda is still a good game.
....Goddamn it!
If things haven't changed, then yes, closing the 3DS won't make it go into sleep mode. However, a lot of GBA games have a built in sleep mode that you either activate via menu/through a series of button presses.
Yes. The SpotPass stuff will also be disabled. These games are essentially turning a 3DS into a GBA; they won't have the OS running underneath like emulated NES or Gameboy titles.
I too wasn't too impressed with it.
Not bad by any mean but it just didn't impress me at the time, maybe it was me...

Minish Cap!?!?! Hype!

That won't happen due to Four Swords. The ROMs are as-is so they won't remove Four Swords either.
Though if NOA are being trollin' they'll put in:
Zelda: LTTP + unplayable Four Swords
Metroid: Zero Mission
Kirby: Nightmare in Dreamland
As the latter 2 are sort of NES Ambassador and eShop already. I know they're different enough for it to a well they'll be out eventually, maybe (IIRC, Wario's Woods would like a word)

Also hoping the NA list is the same, as the others.

Great list! I've never gotten the chance to play Yoshi's Island or Minish Cap so I look forward to those two.

Assuming we get the Oracle series down the line on the VC, you'll be able to play all the handheld Zeldas in one place. Nice.
Personally, I don't understand picking Amazing Mirror over Nightmare in Dreamland, which I think is one of the best remakes ever made by Nintendo.
The Metroidvania structure felt a bit out of place in a Kirby game, where the fun resides in picking a level and going through it with no complications, whereas in Amazing Mirror you have to be able to find all maps if you don't want to be lost constantly. It was hilarious to find myself printing the maps from the internet and using theme while playing. While playing a Kirby game, lol. It had a decent amount of secrets, though.

I'm not an ambassador. Will I be able to buy these games right away or will I have to wait until an undetermined, future date?
I think its the latter (Which sucks), but I want to make sure.
EDIT: Read the beginning of this page. That's disappointing - hopefully Nintendo puts them up for sale one day.

The latter.
It's not like the Metroidvania formula was particularly new for the franchise (see: Great Cave Offensive), but I wasn't too thrilled with Amazing Mirror myself.
I think the lack of Nightmare in Dreamland can be directly attributed to the recently released 3D Classics version of Kirby's Adventure.

I'd be with you guys if not for the DS games.

Anybody who missed out on WarioWare Inc. is in for a treat. That and Twisted would probably make my top 5 games of the generation, console games included.
This is a fantastic list!

All that you need now is to have these games on the special edition Zelda 25th anniversary Zelda! But yea, it's a beautiful thing indeed and another reason I am not hating on buying the 3ds day 1.

It didn't fix the dreary DKC graphics. I think Shadow Dragon sales and fans trolling it to death basically killed any hopes of FE3 DS. Hopefully the lull in FE allows it to reboot with the 3DS version. Shadow Dragons difficulty did more than stats. Enemies start getting forged weapons from H2.
Personally, I was very straight to the point with my Shadow Dragon post-play survey (on the NOE side), I felt the game needed FE3DS in it from the start (or some extension to the plot, the prologue didn't cut it) and its exculsion was a cynical money grab as it was blatently in development. If others felt the same, there you go, they listened for once
This is just giving me horrible visions of Mother 3 3D in the style of the N64 version of Mother 3...
Now if they just give us a Majora's Mask 3D then it will truly be the ultimate Zelda handheld.

It just sucks we can't have ALTTP on there too. Hopefully they're working on a top secret 3D Classics version!
Kirby's Adventure is already on the eShop, in 3D no less. There's not much point to have another remake there too.

I buy cakes for myself on my birthday it's not weird lots of people do it I bet
Love this list.
Outside of YI and Minish Cap (both great games, and I'm glad people will get to experience the latter which I consider possibly the best hand-held Zelda), I never played the other ones. Especially excited about Warioland, the original WarioWare, and Fire Emblem.

They would never be dumb enough to change the look of Mother 3...right?

You mean you've never played Yoshi's Island? You are in for a treat.
Some people say it's the best Mario game
