Lucky 3DS Ambassadors in Australia and New Zealand: your GBA games are waiting for you right now.
Vooks.net reports the games are available early for those living Down Under.
Here's how to download your games:
1 — Enter the eShop from the 3DS Home Menu. It's the icon with the bag on it.
2 — Scroll to the far left and select "Settings / Other".
3 — Scroll down and select "Titles You've Downloaded"
4 — The games will appear here once ready for download, alongside software you've already downloaded.
Europe, North America: we'll update when your games are available. For now, just cast jealous glances.
Thanks to MarioPartyFan999 for the tip.

-Casts a jealous glance-
Whiners gonna whine
I hope we get ours today! I'm at work for a few more hours anyway though...
Stupid Ausies (jk )
@Joshers744
Same here, hope it's ready to download in 4hrs for when i get home. Plus i bought the 3D Classic Xevious from the Club Nintendo site for 100 coins. Got the code to redeem my download. Will do that first and then check for GBA goodness.
@James
It's MarioPartyFan999 but whatever. I'm enjoying playing my GBA games but I have no idea why we got them early!

Replace those images with those of Minish Cap. It's what this download is really about. Mario Kart was improved dramatically from the GBA to DS, so It isnt that amazing now. Not to mention most people just got Mario Kart 7.
Casting more than a few hundred jealous glances... 8-)
@Gustoff
I was thinking about doing the same thing with my coins. I played Xevious on Star Fox Assault and liked it, but that game got scratched up. I'm out of here in about 4 hours myself. Here's to hoping for some GBA games when we get home. Now if I can just decide which game i want to jump into first.
@Late , thank you mate ! i hope it will fit on my 2gb sd card
@Joshers744
For me, i think it'll be Yoshi's Island. When i had my GBA, i always wanted to buy it but no stores would have it available. Now i get my chance to play it. Can't wait...
They're out in japan now! They're Inching closer!
Mario Kart was improved dramatically from the GBA to DS, so It isnt that amazing now.
I play Super Circuit to see which courses from that game I would like in future Mario Kart games as Retro courses. There are a lot of unique courses that would make for good courses in modern Mario Kart games. Plus regardless of later games, its still a classic GBA game.
I may have to go with Minish Cap first. That's one Zelda I have never really got to play. The only one...except for playing it for about 2 minutes on someone's emulator once. Yoshi's Island is great though. Used to love that on the SNES.
I can wait
@Giratina6 That's good to know! Europe should be next, then America. We just need to take a big breath and turn our 3DS's off for a whole day then we'll be fine. LOL.
I hope use Americans aren't too far off with our own GBA downloads.
I hope us price-cut buyers will get to buy these games soon My guess is that that it will happen in about 3 months. Hopefully less.
I actually never had the chance to play some of these games back in the days. And what reason do Nintendo have to prevent me from playing them in this Dynasty of the 3DS? None.
The wait is unbearable! I missed a lot of GameCube and GBA games while I was busy being a Sony fan.
Bwahahaha, how hilariously evil, Nintendo. Just tease the Americas.
It's okay, we all know we shall get our hands on these games relatively soon.
@kholdstare tut tut
Sony = dupid to nintendo
(casts jealous glances with the power of a thousand North Americans)
thats what i get for visiting the eshop for the first time with my region set to uk. ah well only a couple of hours to go
Nice for the AU ambassadors!
Good thing I have a Micro for when I want to play GBA games.
Lucky Australians... lol
@Koto: Me too, I love the Micro! I would probably rather carry around my Micro and play my GBA games, but it's one less thing to shove in my purse when I can download some of those games on the 3DS.
Hooray for being an Aussie!
GAH!!! Hurry up, NOA! D:
Australia gets everything first!
/me slaps reggie
Australia gets Pikmin 2 NPC and now this? They get all the cool stuff.
@Dodger I've always wanted to try Pikmin, never really got the chance though
@sonicman1011 Pikmin is different. But, I personally really enjoyed it. 2 was even better in my opinion, but good luck finding it. (By the way, nice icon. Used to play Sonic Adventure 2 Battle on the GC like crazy)
@36 I love Pikmin 1 NPC.
Didn't they get that plastic ocarina as a preorder bonus too?
Hm. I'm in NZ and can't download them yet. Under "Titles You've Downloaded", there are a whole lot of new spaces, but they're all blank, and the ones that say "Redownload" just give error messages when I try to select them. Ah well, can't be long!
@Joshers744 Thanks for the info on Pikmin (and the comment on my icon, SA2B is my all-time favorite video game by far!) @Dodger I believe they did get a plastic ocarina preorder bonus for OoT:3D.
We should invade Oceania and take all their ambassador 3DSes!
I think Australia and Japan the games already because isn't it already the 16th of December in those countries
who cares, I don't even like those games......
How dareth you lord jumpmad!!!!!
Ausies deserve it. they always have to wait for everything after NA. but now i just want my games even more.
Out in Japan now too

I will love nintendo more if they prevent the people who didn't support the 3DS at the start from getting these GBA games. Shame on you...shame on you all!
I hope they never get released out of Japan and Australia!
@48 LOL, we were already promised ours, so...
any aussies played the fire emblem game is it any good?
Curse you Australia. First Europe now Australia what is the world coming to?
Looking for a jealous glance @James?

That girl there?
She's me.
@Square-enixFan
Wait... are they out in europe!!!???
@Link_Belmont No, he's likely referring to Xenoblade which was released earlier than NA in Europe.
-casts a jealous glance at the Aussies-
Reggie should give all of his bonus to the president of Nintendo of Australia for not being good.
First time being an aussie is any good to anyone... well besides all the marsupials they've got...
Well, NOA never sent us a notification so I wouldn't be surprised if we didn't get them tomorrow...
We're so lucky! If I had to complain though, no multiplayer for mario kart or f-zero but oh well they're free =D Yay New Zealand got something first!
its midnight... gotta go check the eShop... (fingers crossed)
Congrats Aussies...this is the one time you guys get something before people from other regions. I hope you love your games lol.
Reggie!!!! Come on, you're slackin'!
they released the NES games the day prior to the date they had listed, I also am not sure why but my 3ds always notifies me about the updates or stuff of any importance usually a day or two AFTER I downloaded them. I'm still waiting on my notice for the latest firmware update that I downloaded days ago...
You Australians deserve it. I mean, usually you guys get shafted, right? I'm happy for you. Envious, but happy.
what i want to know is did they ever update the nes games to have better saves?
oh look at the time, its time to about nintendo planning to release these games in NA next week.
Can anyone vouch for if the GBA games have a terrible resolution, like original DS games.
I don't think Europe or NA are getting these games today :/ I'm VERY upset, more so about STILL no NA confirmation on dates and stuff
ლ(ಠ益ಠლ) BIG N...
Y U NO GIVE AMBASSADOR GBA IN N/A YET?
GBA Games now available in Europe! Happy DL-ing.
Try using the standby download feature. Speeds things up.
But I want them NOOOWWW
