If you live in Japan or the UK and own a 3DS, you've probably already received your SpotPass alert heralding the coming of the long-awaited free ten Game Boy Advance games promised to players who purchased a 3DS prior to its August price drop.

On December 16, the following games will be available for download in the Nintendo eShop: Wario Land 4, Kirby & The Amazing Mirror, Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones, Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap, F-Zero: Maximum Velocity, Super Mario Advance 3: Yoshi's Island, Mario Kart: Super Circuit, Metroid Fusion, WarioWare Inc. Mega Microgames, and Mario vs. Donkey Kong.

Those 3DS Ambassadors residing in North America will have to hang in there just a little bit longer -- hopefully these games will be coming our way just in time for Christmas.
