Basically the way it works is that for the 3DS to emulate the GBA, it has to run in DS mode (since the DS had the hardware to do so) and as such you can't get any of the features like save states or anything that appear in other 3DSVC consoles since DS Mode isn't able to use the extra resources that the 3DS has.
In other words, the Ambassador games were more or less Nintendo's attempt to see if it would work, and when it didn't they decided to release them to the Ambassadors since they can't actually sell them as VC titles with so little features.
Source?
I'm not disproving that theory all together but something just tells me that it's not entirely possible, but I would like to double check to see who actually said that.
