Nintendo unveils all 10 GBA games for 3DS Ambassadors, coming December 16th

Nintendo has unveiled the complete list of Game Boy Advance games that 3DS early adopters will receive through the Ambassador Programme.

Furthermore, the publisher has announced that the games will be made available on December 16, 2011.

Earlier this year, Nintendo sharply cut the price of the 3DS. To compensate early adopters who bought the console before the price cut came into effect, the Japanese giant promised to hand over 20 free games. 10 gratis NES titles were added to the eShop in September.

Now, gamers can look forward to 10 Game Boy Advance games, including titles from The Legend of Zelda, Fire Emblem and Super Mario franchises. The complete line-up is as follows:

- Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones
- F-Zero Maximum Velocity
- Kirby & The Amazing Mirror
- Mario Kart: Super Circuit
- Mario vs. Donkey Kong
- Metroid Fusion
- The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap
- Wario Land 4
- WarioWare, Inc.: Minigame Mania
- Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3

All together, these games represent a greatest hits collection of the GBA's most beloved, critically acclaimed and memorable titles. Minish Cap and Metroid alone will take you long into 2012 to finish.

To get these games on December 16 you'll want to load up your DS, open the eShop and touch the menu icon. Find settings, and the other tab, and finally "Titles You've Downloaded". Your bounty of free games will inside, waiting to download.

Note: These games will only be available to you if you own a Nintendo 3DS and connected to the eShop before (or on) August 12, 2011.
