honestly I'd just say go ahead and emulate them, they're annoyingly pricey and of course the first 6 aren't available outside of japan anyway, although blazing sword, sacred stones, and shadow dragon are on the wii u eshop if you wanna go as legit as you can
technically the awakening demo,I tried it when I initially got a 3ds and it interested me,though I wouldn't be able to buy it until a couple years later
my actual first was binding blade mid 2014 , and literally the only reason for that is b/c I felt some random need to patch a japanese game...
