We are now in the final month of 2011, and some of you may be wondering whether you're getting your ten free Game Boy Advance games before the year is out. Nintendo has answered the question, confirming that 3DS early adopters will still be getting their freebies before 2012 rolls in.
"The forthcoming 10 GBA Virtual Console titles available for registrants of the Nintendo 3DS Ambassador Programme will be available before the end of December 2011," promised a representative. "We will make further announcements in due course."
The GBA games will include Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3, Mario Kart: Super Circuit, Metroid Fusion, WarioWare, Inc.: Minigame Mania and Mario Vs. Donkey Kong, along with five others.
Honestly, I'd managed to completely forget about them!

Ambassador Jim now has the floor.
What I really want is to see where the Turbo Grafx and Game Gear games are, and when they will get their release.
Who let this peasant Masterballs into the Ambassador meeting. Back to the barn Masterballs, the cows need tending.
We. Are. Ambassadors!!
@KingSigy
Enjoy your $100 or so.
Anyway, I think they should choose Mario and Luigi Superstar Saga and Mother 3. It would be perfect for Mother 3 to be on there, because the revival pretty much from Super Smash Bros. plus they wouldn't be losing any money really by having to spend it on producing copies. They could just pay the people who did the fan translation for Mother 3.
Ambassador Birdman would like to see Superstar Saga, Golden Sun and Link to the Past. Some good lengthy games would be most welcome on my 3DS, even if I have played them all before. Still, the five they've announced sound better than the 10 NES games combined.
I would like Metroid Zero Mission
At least we get free Club Nintendo points!
WELL, I HADN'T! I WANT THESE.
Sho bad. So many friggin awesome games, many of which I've never played!
HERP DERP YOU SO RIGHT
Carrying lots of hate for a game company. You might have issues to deal with....
That update is coming no later than the 8th, it was just confirmed a few days ago.
Also, golden sun and advance wars.
MOTHER 1+2, MOTHER 3, and uhhhh.....hopefully Zelda of some sort.
Take your time Nintendo......
