As hard as I try, I can't complain about any of these games. There are even ones I haven't played and want to play, unlike the NES games we got. (I am not complaining about those either - they were free* after all.)

After months of silence we could be getting our remaining Ambassador Program games sooner than later.
Nintendo told us that we’d be getting our GBA Ambassador Program games before the end of the month and today they made it official by announcing the entire GBA lineup as well as when we can download them onto our portable 3D machines.
The Ambassador Program was announced when Nintendo slashed the price of the 3DS from $249.99 to $169.99. The program was conceived to award early adopters 20 free downloadable titles – 10 NES classics and 10 GBA games. The NES games were released at the end of August and since then Nintendo has been rather quiet on the remaining GBA games.
Until now that is. Nintendo has officially unveiled the Japanese Ambassador games. The complete list of GBA Ambassador games is as follows:
It’s possible that the North American and European releases will feature different titles, but given that the previous batch of Ambassador titles was the same throughout all territories, it is quite likely that this will remain true in this instance as well.
The games will be available for download this Friday, December 16, 2011 in Japan.
It’s been a long time since we’ve seen an entry in the Metroid Prime series - 18 years, in fact. It was 8 years ago that Metroid Prime 4 was originally announced and its development was more than a little turbulent. Initially developed by Bandai Namco, it was later scrapped completely and development was shifted back to Retro Studios to start the project over. In the end, Retro has delivered a solid new entry in the series, but one that doesn’t totally capture what originally made the series so compelling.
