That's what I said! Hell they were complaining about getting 20 free games in general. Seriously nothing will ever please everyone... :l

I thought we were getting a press release today to tell us what the other games will be?
Honestly though we know all the games will be first party titles so that rules out anything surprising.
You can pretty much guess what they'll be.

Then why are you complaining?

@ Kid_Crono
I'm not really complaining but it would have been nice to get something unexpected.

I hope Wrecking Crew is one of the free games.

You don't even know what they are going to be. They could be anything at this point.

I understand that Nintendo owes me nothing, and It was my decision to purchase a 3DS early, but I'm still a bit unsatisfied with how their handling this. The only reason the free games is a good deal is because Nintendo will probably make all the NES games 5 bucks each no matter the quality or length. And there's the fact that most of us already have a good chuck of these games on Wii VC. But what bugs me the most is that they've kept us in the dark a whole month about what the last 10 games are, when they should be open with us and tell us exactly what we're getting from the start. If this is suppose to show the loyal fanbase Nintendo's appreciation, why can't they be clearer on what's going on. I know we're lucky that we're getting anything, but Nintendo isn't exactly convincing me to pick up a WiiU any time near launch.

But it is nice to get some GBA games I missed out on before, and the new updates they're doing to the NES games sound awesome. I just wish Nintendo would be more informative.

@ Kid_Crono
Don't know huh? Let's see, first party Nes Titles....

Super Mario bros. 1,2,3
Zelda 1,2
Metroid
Kid Icarus
Punch-out

That's 8 right there. What else could the free Nes games possibly be?
Btw I have two or more copies of every single one of these. Sucks to be an e-shop ambassador over 30.
I suppose I might be surprised by whatever GBA games they give us but chances are I have all those too.

"What else could the free Nes games possibly be?"

How about these "Classics"

Balloon Fight
Donkey Kong
Clu Clu Land
Donkey Kong Jr. Math
Pinball
Tennis
Golf
Soccer
DK Jr
Yoshi
Smash Table Tennis
Baseball
Mach Rider
Ice Climber
Yoshi's Cookie
Ice Hockey
Kid Icarus
Devil World

Exactly!! Devil World has never been released in the U.S. I think... (it was one of the stages on the awesome PictoBits dsiware download), I would also love to see Clu Clu Land and maybe even Pinball released (lol, for some reason... i love the old skool NES Pinball game.) So there are sooo many choices. Kid Icarus would be a shoe in as far as i'm concerned. It's a very difficult game and very fun too

Almost that entire list is Meh.
Might as well take DK Jr. math off the list. I don't think anybody wants that.

1st of September is just two days away, and NoE haven't even brought their ambassador eligibility tool online yet. NoE need to get their skates on. I wouldn't mind knowing what games are on offer, but the NES games would probably be pretty dull. Especially Super Mario Bros.

I'm 99.9% certain I'm eligible, but I'd like to be sure.

I disagree with you there. Nintendo DOES owe us something, quality titles on which to play with our $300 piece of 'innovative hardware.' I think they realized the plunge us early adopters took by plunking down our hard earned money only to find a small trickle of titles available at launch and for 6 months afterwards. I think this is a nice gesture on their part and I am not complaining. I'm only saying if they HADN'T offered us the free games, I would probably not continue purchasing future hardware right at it's release without seeing some great titles first.

I could use it.
I've always wanted to knoe what 5+2 is...

@Link79: Just for you they're gonna roll out Urban Champion! But seriously I don't care that much about the NES games. There are lots of obscure ones they could include. Kirby's Adventure being the most famous, though it is available on the Wii's VC. Other games like Yoshi's Cook, or Wario's Woods maybe? Kung Fu? Star Tropics would be a great choice. I'm over 30 too but I can tell you I've haven't played every Nintendo game ever made. I've never played Balloon Fight or Ice Climbers. Maybe those games will surprise me and I'll love them. And maybe I'll like them about as much as I like Urban Champion. The only games I really don't want to see (besides UC) are Mario Bros. and Dr. Mario since those games will be on two of the GBA carts already.

My main concern here is how the games will be emulated. I believe that all of the games that were announced were available for the GBA. As either part of the Classic NES series or through the e-card reader. The only game I've bought off the eShop was Link's Awakening, which I feel is very poorly emulated. If these games are just emulated versions of the GBA games and end up looking low rez and blurry I'm gonna be pissed off. I don't mind if they have to shrink the screen a little bit for the proper resolution, but I don't want the micro screen with the huge GBC overlay that Link's Awakening used . I'm more excited about the GBA games, since the five listed are all AAA titles.

@TheDarkness Oh!! Ice Climber rocks!!!!!! You're gonna love it It's in the list of games already being released to us!

SPOILER ALERT 5+2=7 END SPOILERS

Ahh my eyes! You just ruined tonight's Math homework! D:

Mind = BLOWN!

There's a reason I put spoiler alert in bold around the answer ...
