Update: Games are live in Japan as well. Nothing for North America/Europe yet!

The ten free Game Boy Advance titles for 3DS Ambassadors have gone live on the Australian eShop. Other regions are still waiting, and it may take until Friday before the games are made available worldwide. We’ll let you know once anything significant happens!

Nintendo is sending out SpotPass notifications to 3DS Ambassadors that the ten free Game Boy Advance games will hit the eShop this Friday. They’ve also announced the full lineup of games that will be included in this part of the program.

The complete list is as follows:

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

The SpotPass notifications have been spotted in both Europe and Japan, so I assume that the GBA titles will also be available on Friday for North American Ambassadors as well.

Some Nintendo fans may remember Diddy Kong Pilot, a GBA title that would have acted as a sequel to Donkey Kong Racing. Technically the title made it to market, but the final product saw significant changes. The retail release, named “Banjo-Pilot”, swapped out Donkey Kong characters for characters in the Banjo-Kazooie series once Microsoft purchased Rare.

In any case, new screenshots and footage of the original game have emerged… more or less a decade later. We also have some details on cups, commentary from a developer who worked on the project, and more. You can even read about the short-lived character “Crappy Kong”!

You can find all of the content after the break.

Over a year ago, a former NintendoEverything writer started a series of “Time Capsule” articles taking a look back at games we have fond memories of. While others might choose to take a look at something like Star Fox 64 or Super Metroid, we all have different ideas of what qualifies as a “classic” game. And that’s why I’ll be taking a look at game that no-one but me would ever call a “classic”: Sonic Pinball Party. Yep, It’s definitely an unconventional pick, since —let’s be honest— the title makes it sound like shovelware riding on the persistent popularity of Sega’s spiky mascot, but I swear it’s one of the best titles for the Game Boy Advance.

Nintendo has elaborated on their DSiWare plans for The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords. The company revealed that the title is indeed a port of the GBA version. You know, the extra addition made to A Link to the Past on GBA. Any sort of online support is therefore unlikely. But hey, it’s free!

One of these days I’ll have to pick up another copy of Metroid Fusion. I played it constantly back in the GBA days, but somehow lost it. My collection was never the same again!
