Nintendo has revealed the full list of GBA games that will be released as part of the 3DS Ambassador program this Friday. While Nintendo hasn't released an official statement, ONM readers have been receiving SpotPass notifications this morning informing them that the games are arriving this Friday.
The full list of games is as follows:
F-Zero: Maximum Velocity
Super Mario Advance 3
Legend Of Zelda: The 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
These games are free to download to anyone who bought a 3DS before the 3DS price cut.
Earlier this year, Nintendo released 10 NES games as part of the 3DS Ambassador Program.
What do you think of the complete line-up? Let us know by commenting below or in our 3DS forum.

Wow.. all great games! Lots of Mario Kart goodness with Mario Kart 7 and now this
Just received the SpotPass message.
Hallalujah, praise the lord.
There's a few games I'm interested in, unlike the 10 NES games which I played none !
to bad bad i've allready got most of them
but i'll be getting mario kart and wario ware
and i may give fire emblem and F-zero a look
Those annoying twitter style tweets ruined this video damn it!
Impressive list
Just wondering but as an 3ds owner after the price cut, will these games be available to us as well on the eshop, not free obviously? Thanks
Slightly jealous
Could it be that Mario Kart Advance could shoot up the rankings because of easier multiplayer?
Fantastic selection of games. I have several of them on GBA already on my PSPgo on an emulator since most my GBA stuff is in attic but havin f-zero, wario land and metroid which i never got chance to play as well a s a few of the others will be great, the 3DS screen is really bright and the PSP cant quite keep up with the likes of Mario Mario Kart. I just hope they update them to enable online multiplayer on Super Circuit, altho i'm expecting those who have played MK7 will get a suprise as Super Circuit is really tough
Good mix of games cant complain really
I have to say I'm a little disappointed that Golden Sun didn't make the cut. (I mean, two Wario games?) I feel as though that series is always on the back burner....
But Fire Emblem: SS and Minish Cap were nice surprises. Can't wait to play those! Despite having beaten them probably 5 times each.
The big question is though: Will Nintendo release updated versions of MK and FZero at a later point WITH multiplayer to the public at a price? It would be awesome to be able to play these as meant to be but I suppose MK7 has some of those tracks anyway and with it being bought for Xmas I cant complain
RE: 2 Wario games: thats like saying Mario Kart and Yoshi's Island are similar.... completely different types of games you'll see. And with Golden Sun technically being a Camelot IP it makes more sense for Ninty to push the core titles that they are pushing at the minute which is why both Fire Emblem and Minish Cap are on there instead
It is all about Fire Emblem. Great list!
Wow, awsome line-up! I'll probably end up downloading all of them.
F-zero and Fire Emblem are possibly my 2 favourite series ever, so to see both of them on the list is a dream come true. Hopefully this will create enough interest in them over here to persuade nintendo to release fire emblem games over here more often, and to make a new f-zero game. To have not had a new f-zero game since GP Legend in 2004 is obscene.
I've been wanting to dig out my old copy of the Minish Cap for a while now but held off in case it was coming to this. Now I'm happy!
I can't describe how happy I am to see The Minish Cap there. Adore that game. I lost my original copy years ago, much to my devastation. I'm really looking forward to getting to play it again
mario advance 3 was SMB3 wasn't it
im sure i read an ONM article saying that yoshis island was being released to ambassadors???
No Pokémon game? Well...at least there's Minish Cap...
What a great lineup! All those for free, thank you Nintendo
I'm looking forward to Mario vs Donkey Kong, the DSi Ware being the first version I played and loved it.
Already have Mario Kart Super Curcuit (and like someone else said it was hard) but I never got very far.
Also keen on trying Wario Land, Kirby and F-Zero. Roll on Friday!
awesome list. i can see minish cap being replayed and a lot of time going to metroid and f - zero... i wont even have time for xmas games!
Great lineup.
Despite owning three of those games already, I'm really happy with the full list. Would have prefered Golden Sun to Fire Emblem, but I'm not complaining since I get to play Wario Land 4, Super Mario Advance 3 and Kirby and the Amazing Mirror for FREE!! Hot-diggity!
By the way I can confirm that Metroid Fusion and Minish Cap are truely awesome games. Great news for those who never got the play the the first time!
Super Mario Advance 3 was Yoshi's Island. SMB3 was Super Mario Advance 4.
Minish cap? Yes Nintendo! you beautiful b**tard!!
Im guessing it was the fact they couldnt get around trading, as it was a main part of the game.
Or maybe its a clue to the new pokemon game...
I ye;lled "YES" when I saw minish cap on the list. Too bad theres no Yoshis Island =( Might give fire emblem and fzero a go though...
At last and just before the end of the year!
Good line up too.
I'll be getting all of them, unlike the first 10, of which I only downloaded 2. Well done Ninty!
Amazing news, and an even more amazing list!!
Looks like Christmas will be starting early.
Fantastic list,I am very happy with it.
I haven't played none of those games so yes I can't wait till Friday,all ways wanted to play Minish Cap,and a Fire Emblem and F Zero game.
Thanks Nintendo.
I've only got one of those! Hallelujah! Must say I was hoping to replay one of the GBA pokemon RPGs but I'm still happy with this!
Really pleased with this list
I was worried i would have most of the GBA games that were been released as part of the Ambassador programme but i only have 4 of them. The one i am most looking forward to is Wario Land 4 as i really wanted to get it the first time it was released but never got around to getting it. From the other titles that i have not played Kirby & The Amazing Mirror looks like it will be good fun. Roll on Firday! 
now I don't need the emulator any more
HELL YES !!! METROID FUSION!, MINISH CAP!!, F-ZERO!!!
This is most likely the best present i will get this year lol
MINISH CAP FTW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
F-Zero is on the list!!!! Word's cannot explain my happiness, also Mario Kart, Zelda, Mario VS DK and Metroid Fusion will make this one of my favourite Christmas presents! This certainly makes up for the price drop!
Awesome line up. Love that Fire Emblem is in there, I hope a bunch of new people get to experience its brilliance then go out and buy the 3DS game when its released, so then we should get more FE goodness in the future! lol
Legend Of Zelda: The Minish Cap
Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones
This is great! I've been wanting to play both of these games
That's a great line up. I will look forward to playing Kirby!
Minish Cap, Wario Land 4...HELL. VERY. YES.
amazing doesnt even sum it up. i'll be downloading all of them for sure! with mario kart 7 in my christmas stocking i'll love playing MK here. also minish cap (along with the oracle games) are the only zeldas i have never played or owned, so after just completing skyward sword this is amazing news too! same with yoshis island.....i'd be 100 years old waiting for the game on wii VC!!
Planing on downloading them all and playing a bit of them all! Just like what I did with the NES games.
Super Mario Advance 3 is Yoshi's Island so you can be extra pleased!
Minish Cap, F-Zero, Mario Advacnce 3 and Kirby! Oh yes!
This is going to be an amazing weekend, really can't wait to play Minish Cap for the first time as well as another great Mario game! And Kirby will certainly provide some fun and laughs!
Thanks so much Nintendo!
I very happy with the list.
Yes! Super Mario advanced 3! Minish Cap is also good, can't wait for friday!
I'm a bit disappointed that Mario and Luigi: Superstar Saga
Great to see a fire emblem game, especially The Sacred stones. An amazing game that hopefully will reach a greater audience now.
sorry my friend, i'm afraid nintendo has no plans to put these games on eshop. cruel, but these games are for me and the early adopters. you can have hope, but don't hold your breath.
but dear god, what a list! trolls will complain about pokemon or something like that, but seriously everyone else is left with a thought of "seriously? how good does it get?" fact is, this is about as good as it got on the gba (heck, metroid fusion is as good as it ever got anywhere), and many people will have never played games like fire emblem before, including me. also, last day of school! i know they weren't thinking that, but man, that is a reward. i was hoping for this, but i was fine with what i had. nintendo, i will never doubt you again. thank you.
so, who's cheaper now apple? hmm?
oh, just to state again, nintendo, everyone loves you now. read the posts above and you'll see a lot of exclamations of happiness. merry christmas everyone! but what do i play now, with like 13 or so games this christmas? i'll find time.
merry christmas to everyone here, to early ambassadors, we get early christmas present from our favourite people. to be honest, i didn't want this, but now i'm getting it i am jumping in excitement. like all good christmas presents.
bring on the 16th. or as it will now be known, gba day.
I love the line up. Just a shame that I didn't own a 3DS before the ambassador programme. And, where is Mario and Luigi: Superstar saga. That was my number one favourite GBA game.
Wow, this is pretty good. When I got my GBA, I thought every game was amazing, as it was my first console and I was so naive. That's why I was content playing Crash Bandicoot XS, Finding Nemo, The Incredibles, Castleween and Pokemon Ruby. I never got anything better than or even remotely in a similar league to these games, so now that I have the chance to play some of these great games for free, I'm extremely excited.
Can't wait to play Super Circuit again!
A few people expected a Pokemon game, and there isn't one. Can't say I'm shocked to be honest, even if it is one of Nintendo's main series.
I'm surprised that Mario and Luigi: Superstar Saga isn't there.
But what the hey. Early Christmas presents, especially 10 free GBA games are fine with me!
This is a near perfect list!!! The only thing I would change is FE:SS to the normal Fire Emblem. Because I have and completed Sacred Stones. The thing is I have played nearly all of these games, yet I have lost them along the way of my life. So it will be good to play Super circuit and MvD again! Kirby, F zero and Fusion I have never played. They should be good
MINISH CAP!!!!!!! *faints*
I'm actually sort of disappointed about the lack of Mario and Luigi here, also Golden Sun and a Pokémon game would have been nice too, despite that, this is still quite a cool list. Nice to see F-Zero finally getting some much deserved love.
Also, no Mother 3, but i'm not surprised at that...
I would have liked a Pokemon game too to be honest. Pokémon emerald was the first pokemon game i had.
Will the games have wifi or connection ablilties??? (sounds stupid)
YES minish cap is on there
FINALLY! i get to play metroid fusion! i mean, i've already played it but that was at my cousin's house so he wouldn't let me go on it for more than five minutes before saying GIVE IT BACK!!! also i FINALLY get to play mario kart super circuit from the start because the one i've got is second hand and the previous owner already completed it 100%. i'm also LOVING the inclusion of wario land 4!
Awesome list. Finally, we get the GBA games.
OMG free minish cap. Thank you Nintendo!
Also I never actually played a lot of those games, so that'll definitely be something to look forward to.
fantastic list, just an absoutly fantastic list
mario
zelda
f-zero
wario
fire emblem
metroid
there is NOTHING bad in the list whatsoever, who ever says nintendo don't care about there fans need to have their brain checked
Awesome
not a bad game in sight, finally get to finish Minish Cap also (Damn you bugged cartridge!)
Aww, no Pokémon, Or Mario and Luigi.
I'm sorry but WHYYYYYYYYY!!!!
The line up could have been better, but Metroid alone would be acceptable.
I don't get you people. WHY THE HELL DON'T YOU DOWNLOAD ALL OF THEM?????????
They're free. They take a few seconds to download. They take up about 40 blocks each.
WHAT IS YOUR PROBLEM?!
Ok, they are pretty rubbish. But it's no excuse for not downloading them!
So happy Minish Cap is up there! Now I just need Oracle of Ages, Oracle of Seasons and Four Swords Adventures to finally have every single Zelda Game! (Including Tingle's Freshly-Picked Rosy Rupeeland and Link's Crossbow Training!) (NOT THE CD-i GAMES. *Shivers*)
I seem to remember them being a lot better.
HHHMMMMMMM....
The only one on there that's any good is MVSDK. Minish Cap is epic but I already have and played through it on DS.
Shame I'm going to be away...AGAIN D: I was away a week when the first ambassador games came out IT HAPPENED AGAIN! WHYYY?! T_T I hope I find a net connection in Holland D:
Ruby was an awesome game
But these are fantastic. Really good choices by Nintendo and im sure that when they are eventually released on the e-shop there will be all the other greats!
I'm happy that Minish Cap was on the list, that was one of my most favourite GBA game!
As for the pokemon game, I understand why they wouldn't have one. Which to choose out of firered, leafgreen, ruby, sapphire and emerald? No matter which you give, someone will ALWAYS complain about not getting a different version. Also, no trading so how can you get pokemon from other regions or transfer to DS versions?
Actually so excited to play minish cap!! One of the only zelda's I haven't played so I'm very pleased its coming for free!! I'm pretty pleased with them all though tbh, I love metroid fusion too
very pleased with those, especially fire emblem

Looking forward to Kirby and Fire Emblem - I've never actually played any of the games from either series.
Already have Yoshi's Island on SNES, but it'll be nice to have a portable one.
And I already have two copies of Minish Cap (got it on release and then last year I finally bought the Zelda GBA SP for my collection and it had another copy with it)... oh well. xD
Will these be downloaded like the NES games? Just go into Your Downloads and redownload them?
yes, but you can put them into sleep mode download this time (thank you Dec 7 update)
