Nintendo’s announcement yesterday of a 3DS price drop was accompanied by an offer of free games for early adopters. Called the Nintendo 3DS Ambassador Program, it provides ten NES games and ten GBA games to people who buy the system before August 12. Here’s the thing: only five of each are announced yet. Here’s what we want from the remaining ten, keeping in mind the company’s previous announcements.
Already announced: Yoshi’s Island, Mario Kart: Super Circuit, Metroid Fusion, WarioWare Inc: Mega Microgame$ and Mario vs. Donkey Kong. We’re assuming we won’t get games with special cartridge features, and we definitely won’t get third-party titles.
The RPG: Golden Sun. The GBA is a treasure trove for good role-playing games, and if we had it our way, we’d get ten of ’em. We’re hoping just one will make it in this group, and if we had to choose, we’d love to get a shot at Golden Sun again. Last year’s revival, Dark Dawn, was great, and we’re hoping another one’s in the works. The visuals, impressive at the time, are a bit dated now, but the underlying systems remain. Also good: Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga. READ MORE
