The GBA Ambassador lineup is fantastic. Only small nitpicks though is I was hoping for Golden Sun and two Wario games is a bit much.
Golden Sun was great in it's days but time has moved on!

Warioland and WarioWare are completely different games though. It's like being upset that Mario Tennis and Super Mario Bros 3 are both Mario games.

100% agreed, I was a bit hasty on that. I'm actually really looking forward to trying Wario Ware.
IMO, it's still the best game in the series.

It's hard going back to old WarioWares after DIY. User generated content ftw.
IMO Twisted is the best of the series, but the original is still good, especially back when it was new.
Wellll... I'm cheating a little, I guess, but I consider D.I.Y. to stand on its own for comparison's sake.
Twisted is definitely the one that comes closest in my book.
While it's really fun to create games in D.I.Y. the minigames themselves are pretty shallow.
So, this was sort of asked earlier in the thread, but I just want to make sure.
I picked up a used 3DS today which has the ambassador games on it. Judging from the answers a few pages back, these games are tied to the machine and not some sort of user account, so that means I should be able to do a full factory reset on the 3DS and still be able to download the games, right?
I'm a bit puzzled how the 3DS handles accounts to begin with, all I could change in the system settings was a profile name, birthday etc. But I couldn't delete the 'main' Mii, nor could I figure out how to change any sort of user name / password in the friends list section.

Factory reset would probably delete your ambassador status. I don't think you can delete the main Mii but I think you can edit it and change its name. There also are no usernames or passwords for the friends list. Nintendo doesn't have any online accounts which is why ambassadorship isn't tied to any.

Indeed, who on earth would sell a handheld with an implanted Yoshi's Island =)?
Well, I read this and decided to give the reset a shot anyway. It worked out fine, so I guess you're safe as long as you don't delete the eShop account, which I didn't do. The games are available in the Titles You've Downloaded section of the eShop.
I assume, from the fact that there are no user accounts, that I won't have to worry about the original owner "reclaiming" anything in the future either then. Nice!
I bought it from an online auction site, and got it specifically because it had the games
Don't blame me if you blindly try this but--
When I was trying to solve error 20109 (still not solved), NOA recommended I reformat my 3DS. It was my understanding that I got to keep my content and stuff on my SD would still work.
Don't try it before you check it out though.
EDIT: Oh, you tried it. Yay!

So when a better hardware revision of the 3DS comes out, our Amabassador games are all probably stuck on our 1.0 3DS, right?
Nope a system transfer will carry everything over to the new system.

You could do a system transfer; carries the games and ambassador status across.
Huh. So recently I've been running into saving issues. I first noticed it with Yoshi's Island where I beat one level and exited to the Home screen, which is what I had always done before. I tossed it off as a fluke and since it was just one level I decided it was a non-issue. But then I played Metroid Fusion, played a sector's worth of gameplay, went to the next sector, saved, and exited. Well, turns out the game didn't save because I found myself having to replay the sector I know I finished. Anyone else having saving issues? It's not like I'm exiting to the Home screen mid-save or anything so I have no idea what's happening.
I suck at Fire Emblem. I'm playing on easy, but I still lose a lot of my guys. I'm also out of money, and my weapons are all about to break in one more mission or two. Any tips on how I'm supposed to make money? Lost most of it at the collosseum getting my ass kicked. I'm at Chapter 13 now.

It is important to take advantage of your thief who can both steal items and open chests. That is usually where the big money comes from. However on certain missions you could get special items that would sell for a hefty price too like promotion items or those red/silver balls which new recruited characters could carry.
Conserving weapons is a good thing to do in order to save money, so instead of buying new weapons try to trade weapons with characters you barely use.

Tip for the Colosseum; don't accept the fight if it's over 700 gold. It's the safe bet. And you can jam on B to exit the fight if it looks like you're going to lose (you'll exit at the end of the round).
You get a lot of characters in this game, so even if you lose some you'll make up for them later. Keep in mind to check how far enemies can move, and who can tank hits to draw enemies out, if you're trying to raise up weaker units.
Personally, if I lose a unit it's an automatic restart.

Sell Blue/Red/White Gems if you've not done so already. Otherwise, there is the Runesword trick in the tower (I outlined the points here).I suck at Fire Emblem. I'm playing on easy, but I still lose a lot of my guys.

Money-wise in terms of cost per use it generally goes like this (starting with cheapest):
Axe>Lance>Sword>Bow>Anima>Light>Dark

I created a Club Nintendo account yesterday. WillI still get coins for the ambassador games anyway or has that ship sailed?
If you created the account after downloading the games... I'm afraid you missed on the coins.
Try linking your 3DS to your Club Nintendo account from the eShop, then contact Nintendo's customer support. They should be able to see your download history and then manually add those games to your Club Nintendo account, so you can get coins for them.

Kirby and the Amazing Mirror is sweet. Kirby lends himself really, really well to Metroidvanias.
