If you were one of the early adopters for the 3DS and have been on the edge of your seat, waiting for Nintendo to give word of the five mysterious titles…you can now celebrate, sort of. Andriasang have reported today that Japanese 3DS owners have received a message, letting them know that all of the promised Game Boy Advance titles will be available to download this Friday.

So what are the games? Check out the full list below:

  • F-Zero: Maximum Velocity
  • Super Mario Advance 3: Yoshi’s Island
  • Zelda: The Minish Cap
  • Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones
  • Kirby & the Amazing Mirror
  • Mario Kart Advance
  • Mario vs Donkey Kong
  • Metroid Fusion
  • Wario Land 4
  • WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgames

    • Excited? We are too. This list is fantastic and the variety offered here is also very respectable. Before you jump up in the air for joy though, keep in mind that this list is for Japan and is subject to change for Nintendo of America’s offerings. I honestly can’t see the games being switched out, but you never know with Nintendo. This news also means that Nintendo of America will soon be setting a date that western Ambassadors will be able to download their Game Boy Advance masterpieces. Stay tuned, as we will bring you that bit of news as soon as it hits the web.

    That is right, Battlefield 3 fans! You can head Back to Karkand right now as the DLC for Battlefield 3 has just dropped earlier today.

    If you had preordered the special edition of Battlefield 3, you will be recieving Back to Karkand for the price of absolutely freaking nothing. However if you did not purchase the special edition, you can go scrape up some cash for around your house or much more sensibly borrow some money from your drug dealing neighbour (you’ll pay him back, chill out man!). Or you could just go and give an arm and leg (1200 Microsoft Points) for it.

    Back to Karkand features several of the best Battlefield 2 maps re-imagined with the almighty Frostbite 2 engine and repackaged for you to download on your new game that isn’t Battlefield 2. Enjoy, Battlefield Vets!

    With last weeks announcement that Bejeweled would be getting remade for the iPhone, you would think PopCap would be satisfied with their coverage of the classic puzzler. Poppy never rests though, and today informed the world that Bejeweled is now on Google Chrome. The game has been customized specifically for the highly innovative HTML5 browser, with advanced 3d accelerated graphics and effects, and features two dazzling modes: Classic and Speed.

    PopCap released this statement on this brand new way to smash gems:

    “Everyone is looking to HTML5 these days because it holds the promise of cross-platform development across all browsers and mobile devices,” said Giordano Bruno Contestabile, Bejeweled franchise business director at PopCap Games. “While it’s still early in the technology life cycle, we at PopCap are very interested in the potential of HTML5 gaming, and this game is one of the most advanced and impressive HTML5 games yet implemented.”

    A while back, PopCap made Android users cheer for joy when they announced they would be bringing Plants vs Zombies to the device. This bit of news is mainly a reminder, but those with the other mobile platform can now rest easy knowing that the invasion will begin at the end of this week.

    Plants vs. Zombies has previously been available to Android consumers via other compatible marketplaces, but this will mark its first appearance in the official Android Market. This is also Peggle’s first venture on Android and we’re thrilled,” said Tony Leamer, Plants vs. Zombies franchise business director at PopCap Games. “With the recent availability of Plants vs. Zombies on Kindle Fire, fans will now have access to the game on multiple devices and from several marketplaces.”

    Twisted Pixel has chosen to keep their latest piece of Gunstringer DLC very close to the vest. So close in fact that we didn’t even know about it until today. Now while this wouldn’t usually be a big surprise, it is when you learn that the DLC will actually be available tomorrow for only 240 Microsoft Points ($3). Talk about short notice eh?

    Those eager to see what they can be expecting in this DLC can watch the newly unveiled trailer below. ‘Mad Dog’ McDog’ has been saying that you can’t beat his quickdraw and the only way to prove him wrong is to play through four new acts that seem to play similar to a shooting gallery type set up.

    Just one glance at the floating city of Columbia and one should be able to gather that the city once a flourished. However it seems that just like a city below an ocean, a city in the sky is no place that can stay beautiful for very long. In the latest trailer released for BioShock Infinite, 2k Games and developers Irrational Games give us a look at some of the titles gameplay.

    All of the gameplay you see below is taken directly from in-game and looks absolutely wonderful. Even if you don’t feel like watching the gameplay, the video also contains a song sung by none other than the lead female character in the title, Elizabeth. Elizabeth is central to BioShock Infinite’s storyline as the player must protect her from the dreadful robotic Songbird and make use of her ability to tear open rifts in time to survive. Catch the trailer below.
