Forums - Nintendo - Nintendo Ambassador program downloadable a day early.

I certainly got mine! it was a task and took an hour to get them all, but I can see myself actually playing and finishing about half of them.

Mario is awesome
Metroid is awesome
Zelda is awesome
Zelda II is awesome
Donkey Kong Jr is pretty rad
Yoshi is a pleasant surprise
Ice Climbers could be good
NES Golf I have no interest in
Bubble Blast could be fun
Wrecking Crew is....what the hell is it?

So that's not bad, 4 epic games, 2 good game, 2 games that I'm neutral on, 1 game I've never heard of, and 1 game that doesn't interest me. Honestly can't go wrong there. Hell, I'd be happy if I only got the zelda games, but this is pretty much win.

Also:

Mario Kart: Super Circuit
Mario vs Donkey Kong
Metroid Fusion
WarioWare Inc: Minigame Mayhem
Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3

Those are 5/10 of the announced GBA games coming to the system. I already own Mario Kart and Yoshi's Island, but I never did get Metroid and I always wanted to try Mario vs Donkey Kong. Never liked WarioWare though. Ah well, I have an 8 gig SD card, I'll download them all! Muahahah!

Downloads are fast, this is great!



Downloads are fast. I downloaded everything in about ten minutes. The thing that took the longest was having to go through the menu everytime.



no problems downloading... very fast actually. Zelda, mario & metroid look great, actually they look better than what I recall... I am trying the other games now... 10 free games? Awesome day...

 

Edit: Balloon fight is awesome...

ONE HOUR?!! And I thought mine took long, took me about 30min to download them all. I agree with the golf game, not really interested in it especially since i'm planning to get lets golf 3D from the eshop (now If i can only get my hands on a ehsop card..). Bubble blast, or Balloon fight is an really fun game! I remember as a kid playing it with my brothers. Even if it just looped over and over again, it gave us hours and hours of fun and laughts! ahhh..those were the days when things were simple and i hadn't a care in the world..too bad we all grew up and are now married with kids of our own.

Anyways, enough of that, the best way to play balloon fight is with a friend.  you can either team up or be assess and try to pop each other's balloons lol!

I think 1 block is 128kB
The download was super fast, maybe 2 or 3 seconds per title.

The games look great, but sometimes I wish I could change the button layout.
Now I hope we'll see some GBA games soon.



Need something off Play-Asia? http://www.play-asia.com/

Now playing balloon fight! its as awesomely fun as i remember it! lol! But is it just me or did this game just get extremely easy?

I'll probably start playing Zelda 1 after I complete Oot...or maybe I should start playing RE mercenaries since I just bought it a few weeks ago and haven't really started playing it as i'm still finishing up Oot...or maybe I can play SMT Overclock after Oot as I just bought it last week in fear that it would run out of stock and me unable to buy it...DAMN!!! so many games! so little time! LOL!!

Its a good thing that most of the free NES games are games that provide instant fun.

My biggest gripe about all of the VC games I've played so far: All of the slowdown and flicker from the original versions still persist, even though the hardware isn't being taxed at all.

I don't know if that's intentional, but AFAIK, faithful reproduction would similate the lag and all that, which is harder than it sounds.

Yeah, I figured it was around that size. Took me 2min per title but I got them all now! I'm extremely happy with game lineup and I really dont have much issues with the button layout as it feels natural to me having played most of the games on the original nintendo familycomputer (its the equivalent of the NES here). The button layouts of the original familycomputer controller is similar to the placement of the a and button sooo..yeah..no issues here but yeah, it would be nice for some customization on the layout for others who arent use to it.

As much as I want to get my hands on those GBA games too, I hope it doesnt come out too soon as I already have a lot on my plate right now! lol! (2 Zelda games, Metroid, RE Mercenaris, and SMT Overclock)
