I love it. As an early adopter you know what your getting into when you buy a system early, but with 20 free games, and with the 10 GBA games being exclusive, I feel like early adopters got a fantastic deal. One of the games is Yoshi's Island, my favorite game of all time.
Compare it to Apple press conferences which basically go like this: "Here's the new thing. Your old thing is now shit. Oh and we're completely dropping support for the old thing. Bye."

At least with the NES VC games they are. No word on GBA (We'll probably have to wait until they officially release the GBA VC games before that happens)

Damnit! I saw Metroid Fusion and there's supposedly 5 more GBA games coming. If Zero Mission is one of them, and it never gets released for us 'sensible' shoppers... AUGH!
I've actually said this on here at one point: "Release a downloadable version of Metroid Zero Mission and I'm sold."

Wow, early adopters will end up with at least 22 free games counting Excitebike and Zelda: Four Swords. Good stuff.

You have to connect to the eShop once. You can as well use open WiFi.Kurtofan said:
And why didn't you connect to the internet before? You already missed the free Excitebike.

Hmm, LttP or tMC, huh?
It seems to me like its more likely to be link to the past, just because it has already been re-released in virtual console and thus makes more sense as a freebie whereas minish cap is more "sellable" as a download since its never been available digitally before. I don't suppose capcom's involvement as developer is a factor, is it? I would assume not since nintendo obviously owns all things Zelda.

Metroid Fusion (aka Other M Jr.) being released this way only means that Zero Mission can't be far behind.
I can wait.

I hope one of the other GBA games is Drill Dozer.
Are they going to have folders, then, before these games hit? My home screen's already a mess with icons for videos and what not, I don't want another twenty bloody icons littering the place up.
First World problems, I know, but it can't be that hard.
Not necessary. The various PRs just say that you needed to have connected to the eShop.

Yeah, Fusion is quite alright. Though Zero Mission is my go to Metroid game on the GBA.autobzooty said:

Other than not sullying somebody's boyhood fantasies of Samus, Fusion and Other M are extremely similar games.autobzooty said:

pretty glad that they are doing this.
Even though I got a great deal on my 3DS (still below the new $170 price tag), still felt a little funny about being an early adopter and having a 32% price drop on the system only a month after I got it.

Ugh. Mostly games I've played + finished (GBA) or games I had on freaking ANIMAL CROSSING (NES) -_- Hopefully it has Pokemon Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald and Mario Tennis which I wanted to play but never got a chance to or the first Advance Wars which I could play over and over again. Otherwise, very disappointed.
Why would you do that?

No Rumble, though.AceBandage said:
(Not that it really matters...)I personally hope another one is Warioware Twisted. Maybe the Europeans will finally get a chance to experience the best GBA game!
Actually, Warioware Twisted used a gyroscope and rumble, but eh.

Golden Sun and Superstar Saga would be great.
I could do w/o Mark Kart Adance, but I'm mega hyped for the remaining games I'm getting for free.
this is so awesome. Fusion is supposed to be good, right? Only Metroid games I've played have been the Prime series.
AHHH this is great. Sales numbers will go up, more software will come to the 3DS, and I'm getting 10 free games. YES YES YES.

Personally, I loved Fusion more than Zero Mission.
Yeah, that's right haters.
Still, I'd like both for free! Haha!

I had missed this part:
Interesting.
I wonder what exactly they will update on them.

Eh, that's not a bad deal. I'm always an early adopter and a price drop is always inevitable. Even if I had known ahead of time that it was going to drop in price this August, I would probably still have purchased the machine day 1. If they want to hand out 20 games as a bonus for doing so, I certainly can't complain.
