But I really like the lineup, so lets hope that's the WW list.
Personally, I think it could stand a couple of changes, but it's a pretty good line up.

Why? They have every genre and franchise pretty much covered except for pokemon. Looks like a good lineup to me. I haven't played almost all of those games and they are all good titles, no throw aways.

I would swap Mario Advance 3 for Mario Advance 4. I'd say Golden Sun instead of Fire Emblem. Ideally, Zero Mission instead of Fusion, but with Metroid being one of the NES games, I understand it. Wario Land 4 I could take or leave. Not sure what I'd replace it with - Drill Dozer (though you'd lose the rumble, which was a bit of a feature of the game) or DK: King of Swing, maybe?

Oh, Advance Wars, Mario Golf/Mario Tennis (no sports titles in that list) and one of the Donkey Kong Country titles would have been nice. DKC could replace Wario Land 4. As much as I like Wario Ware, Mario Golf or Tennis would have been a better selection. Mario vs. Donkey Kong is one of my favorite GBA titles, but Advance Wars probably would have given a better range of titles....

I agree on some of your points but strongly disagree on others.
Fire Emblem and Wario Land 4 are two of the titles I'm most excited about getting, so replacing those two would be out of the question for me. The weakest titles in my opinion are F-Zero (the weakest by far due to ridiculous rubber-banding AI) and Mario Kart (just because it's redundant now that Mario Kart 7 is released). Seeing Advance Wars or Mario Golf/Tennis included in the lineup instead would've been awesome, although I can understand how having Nintendo's top racing franchises represented makes sense.
Overall, I'm thrilled with the quality and selection of titles being given away! Minish Cap was a surprise - somehow I didn't believe they would just give that game away for free.

I probably replace Mario Kart with Advance Wars. Though I'm the one also hoping the Yu-Gi-Oh Dungeon Dice Monsters get a eShop Release because that was a good game.

i know i won't play Mario Kart, so replacing that with Advance Wars sounds good to me.
But I look forward to just about everything else.

I'd be cool with getting rid of Mario Kart Advance as well, as I never liked it a whole lot. Actually I never enjoyed any of the 2D Mario Karts.
Would have enjoyed a Pokemon game, but that's a strange situation. By giving out FireRed/LeafGreen you run the risk of losing some potential buyers if Pokemon Red/Blue is released on the VC (which, why wouldn't it?). If they give away Ruby/Sapphire nintendo, in their warped view of the world could see it biting into the remakes which we know are coming. :P

If all these come to America too, that is a pretty good list. This would actually be my first Fire Emblem game. I'm pretty pleased that there are a few titles there I never got a chance to play before.

You're in luck then. Not only is it a great series, but Sacred Stones is probably the best one to cut your teeth on, since it's the only one that lets you grind fairly easily.
Anyhow, I think that's a great list. I'd trade Fusion for Zero Mission, ideally, but I won't complain. What most intrigues me is F-Zero. Maximum Velocity is just okay, but it's nice to see Nintendo acknowledge the series' existence again.
