GBA Ambassador games available now on 3DS

If you have a 3DS and happen to be an "Ambassador"—you surely know by now if you are or aren't—today is the day you've been waiting for; you see, the Gameboy Advance games promised so many months ago are finally here!  The NES games were fine and dandy, somewhat disappointing, and I only cared for a few of them; however, having played all ten games for about ten to fifteen minutes, I pretty much love all but one of the GBA games included—Mario Kart: Super Circuit doesn't hold up particularly well, especially obvious with the release of Mario Kart 7.

The full list can be found below, but my stand out inclusions are The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap, Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3, Kirby & the Amazing Mirror, Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones, and my personal favorite: Metroid Fusion—which is still fantastic. Another nice addition since the release of the NES games is the ability to download multiple games at once, conveniently maxing out at ten; it may not be the most ideal or user-friendly system, but it's better than nothing. My last words: these games, without question, validate the Ambassador Program. Now go download the awesome!

If you don't know where to find your Ambassador games (or just forgot), simply open the Nintendo eShop, scroll all the way to the right to 'Settings / Other' (or click 'Menu' and scroll to the bottom), scroll down until finding 'Your Downloads,' and behold your GBA Ambassador games, along with every other game/etc you've purchased.
