Apparently a few folks have received SpotPass messages informing them at some point they’ll receive a SpotPass message with the details about the free Game Boy Advance games that anyone who is a part of the Ambassador Program will be receiving this year. So yes, this is an announcement of an announcement, but that isn’t too strange of a thing for Nintendo to do. It’s also a bit of non-news, but at least this gives me a chance to remind people that we don’t know the games we’re getting, nor do we know the release date.

  1. pokemonfaan

    Well, at least is something… :S

    1. Matthew

      Yeah.

  2. jessenaim

    i hope we get them in the next system update :)

    1. Mark95

      I wonder if the update is tomorrow…
      anyways, hope they announce the games soon :D

    2. Mike S

      Speaking of the update, will the new Find Mii Quest replace the first one? i’m on the last room on my second playthrough and i want to know if i would still be able to get the Ultimate Hat after i update my 3DS. Thanks to anyone who answers.

    3. The update is tomorrow!

    4. Jacob

      Possibly tommorow. Still late November. It’s supposedly 22nd for Australia. I don’t know where you guys got the idea it was coming out on the 22nd anywhere else.

    5. Navolas2

      Old news. now its possibly the 30th

    6. Cory

      Is there any SURE news yet? The UK says in an advert, that it will be on November 30, the last day. Nintendo said late November. The 22nd for Australia is rumored to be their update by several sources. I thought maybe tomorrow would be ours too, or today, because looking at past updates, we ALWAYS got our updates before Australia, and one time we got it on the same day as Australia. Does anyone know anything??

    7. Eric3ds

      @Cory
      Time zones are different like example in usa its 20 and in australia its 21 (in australia we are 1 date ahead of usa :D)

  3. skywardS

    I just thought, When we know, when we get the Firefox GBA GAMES :D

    1. Lawrence

      Firefox?

    2. SuperSherbet

      I’m guessing “Firefox” censored out the F word

    3. Belinni

      What the Fragglerock is going on in here?

    4. Jakob

      That’s what the Frak I’d like to know!

    5. Omarsonic9

      Stop saying random Fragwoakawokh words

  4. Xarreno

    Finally! I’ve been waiting to hear news about that forever! Except this doesn’t sound like anything new. You do know that the ambassador program came with a “certificate” to announce when said games were out right? So this seems a bit strange to hear about. Whatever, news is news.

  5. Matthew

    All I know is that Yoshi’s Island is coming to the 3ds. Check Yoshi’s Official facebook page. can’t wait!

    LOOKIN’ GUD’

  6. sean

    its about freaking time. Thanks for letting us know, David!

  7. Cecil

    well what sucks is that i ain’t getting the GBA games because im not an ambassador:[
    but my brother is so is there a possibility that my brother to tranfer the GBA games to me??

    1. Im afraid thats not possible, and if it is in hacks its Illegal and you MIGHT get bricked :P

    2. Pokeneon7

      Please use some proper grammar before you walk into the Internet….

    3. Pokeneon7

      and to answer your question, you can. In the system update, you can transfer over 3DSWare and Virtual Console games to other 3DS systems.

    4. Navolas2

      Key word there is transfer, not copy

  8. andy93

    man i hope we get good games.. cause the other 10 were good.. but some like were ehh? these games really?

  9. I can play yoshis island again!

  10. angel

    Hopefully we get some really good titles. Gba games are the awesomeness.

    1. Lawrence

      Not awesomeness; awesomesauce.

  11. Luciano Fran

    Did you guys see the new rainbow road?Its going to be epic

    1. SuperSherbet

      That’s the one thing I’m personally not going to see until I play the game itself.

  12. Lawrence

    Yay for ambassador games! I want to know the full list of GBA games.

    1. Mike S

      Don’t we all?

  13. At last! :D

  14. LiamHetherington

    dont forget to mention that the update is tomorrow.

    1. Jacob

      This update is supposedly tomorrow. David has not posted anything to the actual release date to the update. I’ve heard that it’s the 22nd for Australia, but I’ve never heard that date for anywhere else. It’s still late November I think and not the 22nd. I just don’t want you guys to be disappointed.

    2. Navolas2

      New thing just posted, update possibly the 30th…

    3. TechTris

      If it’s the 22nd for Australia,then It should be later today that the US gets the update,or maybe even at midnight. Nintendo has simultaneous updates,it’s just a matter of knowing the time zones.

  15. aguy

    man when di we get the system update?

    1. Jacob

      Late November. No exact specifics unless you count the supposed 22nd for Australia.

  16. aguy

    do*

  17. 1-up Dude

    I hope most of them are mario games X3

  18. noname

    i just bought the game skyward sword limited edition and is garbage
    the wii remote looks like crap the orchestra soundtrack sucks full of mistakes and the game is just ok, the controls are not responsive at times but the game is just more of the same….

    1. infernoflash

      I fullheartly agree.

      This is opposite day right?

      (And what does this have to do with the article?)

    2. Jacob

      Don’t listen to this garbage. This dude has been trying to spread the word that this bundle was terrible and the game is bad. This is the exact same comment posted over 6 times before. He’s just trolling.

    3. Eragon Fowl

      I bought it too and the controls aren’t very responsive but its still a good game. The controller isn’t the best but its still pretty cool. I haven’t listened to the cd yet though.

    4. Connor Russell

      Troll

    5. I got it and i thought the controls are great , though they take some getting used to. the cd only has 8 songs but they are like 5-10 minutes long each. The gold remote looks epic and you might as well get it if you dont have a wii motion plus alredy.

  19. YOU MUST DIE

    Finally SOME news about the gba games

    But not much news

  20. penubag

    my guess is they will give us the ambassator games on christmas or after. If they gave us 10 free games now, we may not be as interested in buying 3D land or mario kart.

    1. Mike S

      Especially because one of the 5 free games confirmed is Mario Kart Super Circuit and people would be like “Why should i BUY the new Mario Kart when i’m getting one for FREE”? Those kind of people are what i like to call STUPID :)

    2. bill

      I think it’s the other way around. The ambassador games get boring faster.

  21. I’m just glad that I’m a very patient person, what with all that Nintendo has planned for the next few years.

  22. that guy

    i dont think its true because technicaly theres no proof

  23. tyler mccoy

    is this fro north america 2

  24. Kayriss

    I hope Mario Super Circuit & Minish Cap are some of the games we get. I wish we’d get third party games too like River City Ransom EX.

    1. Kayriss

      Wait I take that back I’d rather have SONIC BATTLE F&%$ YEAH!!! (If third party games were part of the program ofcourse…)

    2. Mike S

      Mario Kart Super Circuit has already been confirmed ¬.¬

    3. mondy

      mario kart super circut is already confirmed

  25. 3DSNINJA!!

    Anyone got it yet?

  26. Christian Zuniga

    I hope mother 3 is one of the games.

    1. Eric3ds

      That will be awsome :D

  27. flyinggazelle

    Yes, Super Circuit

  28. megajacobf

    I never got it :( oh and David what happened to the mobile version of this site?

  29. I hope we get minish cap. I never played that zelda

  30. Natto1995

    I know that Pokemon Emerald will be one of the games included but what about sapphire (my sapphire was stolen of me) plus i had a shiny Sandslash, Lairon and a Bagon doubt i’ii find them again :(

  31. mondy

    wait a second. i got a spotpass mesages about 2 months ago confirming these gba games:
    yoshes island
    super mario advande 3
    mario kart super circut
    metroid fusion
    wario ware mini game mania
    mario vs donkey kong

    PS: i made a video about it. if you want to see it pleas reply and i will upload it to this youtube account:
    Mondy20o

    1. Naner

      Yes, those are the five games everyone knows about. The real question is concerning the other five.

  32. Nat

    Kirby and the Amazing Mirror! My favorite Kirby game ever!!!!!

  33. whats the good stuff we get from the ambassador thing anyway? besides a bunch of old games and games we still literally have at home.

  34. ChaosInvoker

    Well at least Nintendo didn’t forget! Hopefully we get them in December so Nintendo can keep their promise of dishing them out by the end of the year.

    *something tells me we won’t get them till spring next year*
