In this half of my breakdown of the 3DS Ambassador GBA games, i will be looking at Mario Kart: Super Circuit; Super Mario Advance 3 : Yoshi's Island; The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap; Kirby and the Amazing Mirror and Wario Land 4.
Part one can be found here.
I was one of the suckers who pre-ordered the 3DS based merely on the potential of newest Nintendo handheld - technology-wise and the game that had been announced. The launch titles were not very good however (mine came with a 3D port of Rayman 2), and sales (bar release-weekend surges) mirrored this.
Early August saw Nintendo take pretty drastic action to boost sales of the flagging console, as they cut the 3DS' price by almost a third. Needless to say, early adopters were not pleased! At this point Nintendo could have shrugged off the screaming hordes of their faithful fans claiming "It's business", but instead announced the 3DS Ambassador program, proving once again they are in a class above their gaming rivals.
The program meant anyone that had registered their 3DS in the eShop by the end of August would receive 20(!) free games - 10 NES and 10 GBA. I downloaded my NES games in early September and was a little underwhelmed; the titles were pretty predictable and consisted of games the majority of gamers will have owned or at least played at one time or another.
The list of GBA games (released last Friday) however, is superb! I was tingling with excitement while downloading them, and just knew i would have to review them. So here is Part One of my breakdown of the 3DS Ambassador GBA games!
