Nintendo has insisted that the Game Boy Advance games on offer to 3DS early adopters through the Ambassador Programme will be released this year.
The company's Spanish website said the ten free games, due as compensation for the global 3DS price drop in August, would be "available next year." Nintendo has since confirmed to ONM that the games will be released in 2011 as promised.
"The forthcoming ten GBA Virtual Console titles available for registrants of the Nintendo 3DS Ambassador Programme will be available before the end of December 2011. We will make further announcements in due course."
Nintendo is still yet to confirm the full line-up, though it is known to include Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3, Mario Kart: Super Circuit, Metroid Fusion, WarioWare Inc: Minigame Mania, andMario Vs. Donkey Kong. Reports have also claimed that Kirby & The Amazing Mirror, and Super Mario Bros 3: Super Mario Advance 4, will also be included.
