Shack PSA: 3DS GBA Ambassador games now available

The 3DS Ambassador Game Boy Advance games are now live and available for download on the eShop.

Though Nintendo of America hasn't issued a formal announcement, the Game Boy Advance titles for Nintendo 3DS Ambassadors are now live on the eShop and available for download. We suspected the international line-up would be true for North America as well, and now the freebie games are available in all territories.

As was the case with the NES Ambassador games, you'll need to download them one at a time by finding them in your download history and tapping "Redownload." On the bright side, the recent firmware update added a "Download Later" option, so you can stack your download queue and then leave the system alone as it grabs all of them for you.

The ten games included are Wario Land 4, Kirby and the Amazing Mirror, Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones, The Legend of Zelda: Minish Cap, F-Zero: Maximum Velocity, Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3, Mario Kart: Super Circuit, Metroid Fusion, WarioWare Inc: Mega Microgame$, and Mario vs Donkey Kong. If you were an early adopter, that list should keep you busy for a while.

      any idea how much space these take up, I'll probably have to get an SDcard right?

          We got 2 of them the week they were released. Maybe they have a card in them but when we tried to download those 3d video game trailers a while back I cold only fit 2 on the 3DS. had to delete them to watch the others. I just assumed there was no sdcard in them

            Nope, they shipped with an SD card. And I don't know what's wrong with yours (did someone remove the card?); I have like two dozen things downloaded to mine right now.

      Sweet! Yoshi's Island is the best platforming game ever made, bar none.

      The NES ambassador game selection wasn't very good for me, since most of the games I cared about I had already played dozens of times and didn't really care to play them again.

      However, I want to download almost all of the GBA titles =D
