So we know we've got the following so far:
NES - Super Mario Bros, The Legend of Zelda, Balloon Fight, Donkey Kong Jr, Ice Climber
GBA - Yoshi's Island, Mario vs. Donkey Kong, Mario Kart Super Circuit, Wario Ware Mega Microgame$, Metroid Fusion
NESSo we've got 2 games that were in the Classic NES series, 2 that were e-reader games and one that was both (Ice Climber). Based on that, and assuming that the only games that they'd have permission to put out
gratis is 1st party stuff.
I'm going to open the bidding at: Metroid, Zelda II, Clu Clu Land, Golf and Ice Hockey.
Metroid will be there to dull the pain of no Metroid Zero Mission, and hey, it's the 25th anniversary of Zelda right? If they're not going to plop out another collector's disc, might as well give the loyal fans another cheap thrill. Ice Hockey will be the obligatory proof that they're not just porting stuff that's also been ported to the GBA. Clu Clu Land and Golf are probably the simplest games that don't already have an equivalent game on the eShop already (Excitebike 3D Classic, and Dr Mario will be out on the eShop in all territories by September 1).
GBAList of possible gamesThis is the trickier one to predict. There MAY be another Mario Advance game or Mario and Luigi, but I can't see it happening between Mario vs DK, Mario Kart and Yoshi's Island. It may be a little too much Mario for anyone to handle.
I think they may take the opportunity to float a couple of franchises that have been previously moribund, so we're probably going to get two of an F-Zero game, an Advance Wars game or a Fire Emblem game. They have lots of Kirby to play with, a potential Game and Watch Gallery (#4), a couple of remakes of Donkey Kong Country, and quirky stuff like Drill Dozer. The longshots are anything Square-developed (Nintendo is the publisher of record for all of Square's GBA output, but later, rarer stuff like FFVI Advance is NA/Europe only) and any Pokemon game that isn't a spinoff.
My predictions: F-Zero Maximum Velocity, Advance Wars, Kirby Nightmare in Dreamland, Pokemon Pinball Ruby/Sapphire, and Drill Dozer
What say you?
