1UP has issued a timely PSA on how to play Virtual Console games on the 3DS at their original resolution, rather than smeared across the larger screen. It’s pretty easy – after launching the game from the channels menu, just hold down start or select until the black boot-up screen appears. Last week, Nintendo finally handed over the ten Game Boy Advance titles it had promised early adopters as compensation for the August price-cut.

Thanks, Joystiq.

Early adopters who remembered to register for Nintendo’s 3DS Ambassador scheme, introduced to compensate for a price cut in August, will finally see the Game Boy Advance portion of the promised goods this week. According to SpotPass notifications, as noted by ONM, F-Zero Maximum Velocity, Super Mario Advance 3: Yoshi’s Island, The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap, Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones, Kirby & the Amazing Mirror, Mario Kart: Super Circuit, Mario vs. Donkey Kong, Metroid Fusion, Wario Land 4 and WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgames will all be automatically added to player’s 3DS eShop profiles this Friday.

Thanks, Engadget.

Nintendo has confirmed that its Ambassador games are still coming this year to early adopters of 3DS. Rumors yesterday, stemming from Nintendo Spain (thanks Mark) had the games being delayed into next year. However, when contacted by ONM, a Nintendo spokesperson told the magazine the Game Boy Advance games “will be available before the end of December 2011,” and that further announcements on the matter would arrive “in due course.”

Five of the 10 GBA games confirmed as part of the 3DS Ambassador Program confirmed so far are: Yoshi’s Island: Super Mario Advance 3, Mario Kart: Super Circuit, Metroid Fusion, WarioWare, Inc.: Minigame Mania, and Mario Vs. Donkey Kong.
