Nintendo Announces final list of GBA ambassadors games

[Terenigma]

Am I the only one who was "eh" towards Minish Cap?

I'm more excited for F-Zero and Metroid Fusion.

You wernt the only one, Its a good game but hardly a deal maker. Kirby and metroid for me are the winners of this list.

Too bad, I finished up Metroid Fusion on my phone's emulator last week with a Bluetooth controller. Ran the 1% challenge in 1:40. :/

Now THIS is more like it, I know I'll play GBA games, looking forward to the 16th..or whenever they eventually come out at that fact (this is Nintendo). ;P

It'll be out with the 3Ds revision.

Not happening. Pokemon isn't first party, and Game Freak isn't a subsidiary of Nintendo. Notice how Fire Emblem and Kirby are by Intelligient Systems, not Nintendo, but they're first party.

I never liked mario kart: super circuit.

It always ran like crap for me and the controls were pretty sluggish.

I hope that all the time they took was for make the games fully use of the 3DS and not just a cheap port like the NES games

If you're expecting a full 3D Classics treatment for all of them, then you're expecting too much. If you knew how much of a hard time they had in making the 3D Classics titles, you'll know NOT to expect this. The best realistic expectation would be something like Four Swords, except that was optimized as DSiware, and these GBA titles are gonna be 3DSware.

I got a spotpass notification that anounces them for the 16th also in France (and I guess Europe)

This is true. The game is pretty ugly compared to the other MK games with Double Dash still being the greatest.
But the music in it is really great So it's still worth playing thru just to listen to the great tracks

As for me. I'm pepped for Minish Cap! More Zelda on my Zelda Anniversary DS. Even tho I already own the GBA game, I have to fill my Zelda Anniversary DS with Zelda games.

I half agree; while nowhere near the controls of any Mario Kart game except Super Mario Kart, they aren't all bad. After spending some time with Super Mario Kart and Super Circuit, I got a feel for these sluggish, retro(?), and fun/frustrating controls. I can honestly say I prefer the controls in pretty much all the newer Mario Karts, but the controls in the first two games doesn't completely kill it for me.
I really hope they support multiplayer on this though...

On one hand i'm glad the Ambassadors get Minish Cap. On the other hand, it's been said multiple times that the Ambassador games will not be publicly released. No minish cap for me makes for one sad polar bear

You could always pick up the game on GBA. Be it via Gamecube + GBA accessory or actually purchasing a GBA SP. I recommend fetching the Zelda GBA SP for extra kicks That way, you can also play Oracle of Ages / Seasons. Oh and Zelda DX aswell.
Or you simply buy a GBA flashcard and play like that And if none before-mentioned will do it for you. Just grab it and play on EMU on your PC, hacked PSP, hacked Wii or whatever runs a GBA emu these days.

 

[WolfSpider]

I was hoping that they would add Super Mario World; I think that was one of the best Mario games

they said they "currently have no plans to offer these games on the e-shop"
I'm sure they'll start selling them eventually, these games are too good to remain exclusive

 

[regnad]

You guys aren't crowing about Wario Land 4.

You're going to like it. It's cute, idiosyncratic, and each level is surprisingly unique and well thought out. Plus the music is excellent.

You'll be sad and disappointed when you finish it in two hours, though. But it's a blast until that point.

No they're not, Nintendo said they won't be releasing GBA titles on eShop outside the Ambassador Program (10 GBA Games). If you read somewhere that it's coming as 3DSware then link us to it, or else don't make assumptions which Nintendo has declined for so long

 

[ProtoSphere]

The titles are now live in Australia . I'm downloading them now.

 

[heartgold]

^ I was about to mention that

The games are out for some people

I'll make a thread in the 3DS section

....Nevermind I'm late

 

[Jonez]
