Nintendo of America Soapbox Time:

NoA sucks. I think they should fire Reggie and everyone else up the chain of command and re-hire those positions with smarter, more tech savvy people who are ready to steer this thing into the new decade. (Of course, this might be a problem with Nintendo Corp and not NoA, and if so, then this should apply to those people. Sorry, Reg, if your'e out of the loop.) The ENTIRE future of sales is going to be ONLINE and WIRELESS, why they are so slow to realize this is beyond me. (Look at the success of the iTunes Store, the iPad replacing hardcover books, and the iCloud service, etc.) Nintendo needs to realize that offering its games on other devices (Mario games on the iPad) might be a good thing for them, too, but this is beyond NoA's control and has more to do with Nintendo's board of directors' decisions, etc. I know Nintendo makes hardware and are afraid of cannabilization of hardware sales if they offer their games on other devices, but until Nintendo can offer a similar quality online experience, they'll be shooting themselves in the foot.

Also, More thought needs to be put into caring for the user of the product. Why they fail to notify us when they say they are or leave us hanging at times is beyond me. If its a business and they want to make money, then sometimes I feel they could do a much better job of doing so! Hell, hire ME! Lol. I'll make sure the American user base feels loved! I do know these are free games we're talking about and Nintendo won't make money off them, but our happiness will lead to future sales. They also could offer these games up for sale on the e-shop to anyone and everyone after we get ours, why they wouldn't do that is beyond me. While I know there are pure haters and others who on the flip side of that - total brainwashed Nintendo fans-, I feel that we can all agree that NoA has done sort of a below the par job as of late with their fan base. Get your act together, Nintendo of America!

P.S. On a sidenote, word is out that the GBA games are now available in japan after only being available in Australia for the past few hours. So it seems to be inching closer to Europe and America. Let's hope!

I love how half of this didn't even apply to Nintendo of America.

The only part about this that is frustrating is NoA not announcing anything, which is really annoying.

Lol, seriously. This is completely unrealistic.

To keep the waiting shorter:

Do you plan to play them one and one or each a little while? I usually end up playing lots of games, are you stoic and finishing one and one?

Also which one will you start with, will you save some for christmas? I will at least save Fire Emblem I think.
It's hard to choose which one to start with, they looks great all!

I wasn't excited until those silly Aussies got them.
Just looking at the Austrailians tweeting and posting about their games.
They're torturing us.
MAKE IT STOP!

@TheBlackDragon Yes, but we're also mad thatr Australia got the games before us.
_{None of theese posts are hate for Austrailia, because I go there every other summer, but IMADBRO.}

@grumblegrumble: most of the GBA Ambassador titles hadn't been retro reviewed, and I'm told the few that were (I know Minish Cap was one, idk about the rest though) were taken down so that they can have information regarding how they play on the 3DS added in. They will all see Ambassador-style reviews once we get 'em, though, don't worry. :3

As for the forum-search thing, we know, we know, believe me we know, and hopefully the upcoming site revamp will take care of it for us. As always, we appreciate your patience. :3

Australia ALWAYS gets things first! It's so unfair! [insert video of angry-sad pony here]
You know what? I'll sit in that corner there thinking bad things about Australia until we get the games. Karma powers!
