Minish Cap is one of those GBA games that just never made it into my GBA or DS. Can't wait!

Nintendo promised early adopters of 3DS a suite of NES and Game Boy Advance titles by the end of the year, and the clock is ticking on the second wave. Naturally, I still haven't played Zelda II.

Those games are definitely coming, though. Both Japanese and European 3DS owners are reporting having received SpotPass notifications about the games being delivered on Friday.

Each territory is passing along the same game lineup, too:

• 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
• WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgames

It’s expected a similar notification will arrive on American 3DS machines, but that hasn’t happened as of this writing. Please, please let The Legend of Zelda: Minish Cap be on there--I’ve never played it!
