NOA should release the GBA ambassador games tonight for not announcing their availability in NA all day and keeping North Americans in suspense.

Lol. I hope that they announce the date soon but I'm sure it will also be on Friday. It would be unfair if they delayed them in NA.

I'm sure NoA is just going to give it to us randomly the night before like they did with the NES games.

If they come out this Thursday, I will crap a flapjack. My system's in for repairs. That thing better come back with the Ambassador games downloaded and ready to go Nintendo!

What happened to your system man?

I cleared off over 2000 blocks of useless demo videos for the anticipation of there announcement. I have over 7000 blocks still and that's only what came with the system. I'm hoping they land around only 100-200 blocks each.

I, too, do hope that they don't clog up my 3DS. I need room for Oracle of Ages, Columns, Sonic Drift, and possibly more.

you know you can stick them on the SD card? Even if you have the default 2 gig card, GBA games were capped at 32 megabytes, you'll have more than enough room

That's still 256 blocks (max) per game, and if they're all that size (which I highly doubt they are), that's 2,560 blocks per game, or 320 MB. Kinda glad I upgraded to an 8 GB card ...

Exactly.

Looks like my prediction from months ago was pretty spot on. I was saying Christmas gift, close to then or at the earliest after Black Friday. I'm glad they kept their promise of this year and the line up looks pretty fun.

The games are now available for download in Australia.

That's good to hear since north America still hasn't heard anything.

I can confirm that the GBA games are currently single player only.

And an update to the NES games hasn't been made available yet.

That was just for NES games; however, I think that they will include multiplayer for most, if not all GB/GBC/GBA games at some point as well. Hey, if free emulators could do it...

Emulators can do online, but that doesn't mean Nintendo will do it too, lol.

The thing is people who make free emulators have fun adding new features to it. Nintendo's attitude seems to be "Let's do this with as little effort as possible."

I'm not asking for Nintendo to modify the original game data in order to give us new features, but they could at least ensure that all of the features that were available in the original retail release are afforded to us with the 3DS as well. Really, how hard could it be to link 2-4 systems together for VC multiplayer? The bottom screen could easily act as a multiplayer sub-menu where we could choose which systems we'd like to link the game to. Make it happen, Nintendo!

You don't have to change the game code. You just have to change the way data is transferred, which they have to do anyway when they add multiplayer for the NES. Coincidentally I saw a video of Kirby and the Amazing Mirror with online multiplayer earlier today. :3

edit: actually it may have said network. meh, it's theoretically possible, haha.

They can add updates to titles now. Maybe they can include online for a small additional price?

Unfortunately, the GBA games do not include suspended save or sleep mode at the present time (basically, the same restrictions that apply to DS/DSiWare games apply here). The game is stretched to fit the screen by default, but by holding Select or Start upon booting the game, then the game will be displayed at its native resolution a la VC/DS games.

@sillygostly How are you downloading the games? Same way as the NES ones?

Yes.

Are we not paying for GB/GBC games?

And will we not be paying for GBA VC games eventually?

Someone check the NA 3DS and see if they are up yet. Nothing was announced for Australia and yet it got the GBA games now. Maybe NA is doing the same?
