I loved Drill Dozer!

And I suppose getting a 3DS will be easier for me now. I'll just have to wait for a game I want to play to come out!

VixyNyan · **Reply #26 on:** August 12, 2011, 04:32:51 PM

So I was trying out this form on Nintendo of Japan's site, writing down the serial number from the back of my 3DS just to see if I get the 20 free games, and it looks like I'm in~

This is the message if you are an ambassador.

Is that only for JP 3DSs?

VixyNyan · **Reply #28 on:** August 12, 2011, 06:08:14 PM

It looks that way. ^^;

Other people have said to just connect to the eshop. o.o;

Kieran · **Reply #29 on:** August 12, 2011, 07:12:29 PM

Yeah, in the US the eshop just sent you out a news item that told you you're eligible for the program if you connected in time.

Satoryu · **Reply #30 on:** August 12, 2011, 07:50:29 PM

Do you mean news on the eshop itself? I did the system update yesterday, but I don't think I went onto the eshop after that. Did I just screw myself out of this?

If so, it's no big deal. Everything they've revealed I either already have or just don't really care about.

Gaia · Quote from: Gaia on May 07, 2010, 12:30:32 AM

I thought it was sept. 1st? I logged on the E-Shop yesterday (and the system was already updated) and I think that the August 10th was for those that imported thier 3DSes.. I am so confused..

Satoryu · **Reply #32 on:** August 12, 2011, 08:54:55 PM

Okay, I got a bit confused. I was under the impression you had to access the eshop after getting the latest system update in order to be eligible, but it seems like I'm okay because I have used the eshop long before yesterday. The only criteria are either you access the eshop before yesterday or do the system update. So I'm safe on both grounds. The message thingy was what got me scared. I didn't see the message because it's apparently gone for everyone now. I would like to check that I am indeed an ambassador, though. Nintendo ain't helping with that just yet.

VixyNyan · **Reply #33 on:** August 12, 2011, 09:51:53 PM

Next week, there "might" be a Nintendo-website announcement about a "confirmation form" for English users, similar to the Japanese form, where you have to check your 3DS serial number.

VirusChris · **Reply #34 on:** August 12, 2011, 11:44:59 PM

^I hope so, because I'm up to date with my system AND I log in on August 10th and 11th to be sure on the eShop. Only thing related to the Ambassador program was in the News section just telling about what it is.

I really like to know if I'm eligible or not.

VixyNyan · **Reply #35 on:** August 13, 2011, 06:36:16 PM

Take it with a grain of salt, but look at this list of NES and GBA games.

GBA games will be available on December 4th. ( Sunday? That doesn't sound right. ^^; )
NES games will be sold to the public on the eshop in October 15th. ( Saturday? Really?

)

And it looks like some GBA games will be sold on the eshop after all. (if it's true, but an announcement a while ago said they won't be public... hm)
Mario Kart: Super Circuit, WarioWare Twisted (!?) and Pokemon Emerald (!?) are set for a public release in 2012.

NES
~ Super Mario Bros.
~ Donkey Kong Jr.
~ Balloon Fight
~ Ice Climber
~ The Legend of Zelda
~ Metroid
~ Super Mario Bros. 2
~ Kid Icarus
~ Zelda II: The Adventure of Link
~ Kirby’s Adventure

GBA
~ Yoshi’s Island: Super Mario Advance 3
~ Mario Kart: Super Circuit
~ Metroid Fusion
~ WarioWare, Inc.: Minigame Mania
~ Mario vs. Donkey Kong
~ Pokemon Emerald
~ The Legend Of Zelda: The Minish Cap
~ Kirby And The Amazing Mirror
~ Super Mario Ball
~ WarioWare Twisted (Up To Date 3DS Motion Controls)

Yes please to Kid Icarus, Zelda II and Minish Cap~

CephiYumi · **Reply #36 on:** August 13, 2011, 07:09:17 PM

I'd heard about Amazing Mirror being a possibility somewhere else so this might be right ^^ Twisted will be nice with the motion controls if it's true

There's a problem with this list. It's already confirmed that Super Mario Bros. 3: SMA4 is one of the GBA titles, which I see is missing here.

Phi · **Reply #38 on:** August 13, 2011, 07:41:51 PM

It was? I thought that was still just a rumor.

Satoryu · **Reply #39 on:** August 13, 2011, 08:37:07 PM

Wasn't that someone confusing Super Mario Advance 3 for Super Mario Bros. 3?

If that list is true, I'm a tiny bit more interested in these games now. I skipped a lot of those GBA games for whatever reason.

list

I only played Yoshi's Island, Super Mario Bros. I & II, The Legend of Zelda, and Kirby's Adventure (or was that Kirby's Dream Land?). So if these are true I'll be able to play some of these classic I never got the chance to play before! That's awesome in my book, but we'll wait and see if this is truly correct.

PS: By the way I'm going on vacation for Universal Studios in Florida so you'll won't see me around, or lurking around, for a while now. I'll miss some of RPM's witty comments... and yes I'll miss, you too, Acid even if you did hijack my artwork topic a while back.

STM · **Reply #41 on:** August 14, 2011, 12:48:21 AM

Well, I'm only getting it from this link. If this has been proven wrong, then I stand corrected.

You know how it is when reps are used as a source.

Hypershell · **Reply #42 on:** August 14, 2011, 05:50:42 AM

I have a confession to make: I never played Minish Cap. If that list is true, that'll certainly keep me busy for a while.

Some little gremlin in the back of my head is still telling me that Nintendo won't be releasing main-series Pokemon games on Virtual Console, though. At least, not unless there is a transfer solution with the current-gen games. Otherwise, what's the point?

So that people who liked Gen III can play the game again?

Police Girl · **Reply #44 on:** August 14, 2011, 08:47:23 AM

18 more days till we get the ambassador goodies.

I wonder if they have a time limit before the opportunity expires.

As in, not redeeming the NES games in a month means you can't get them or some [parasitic bomb] like that.

Hypershell · **Reply #45 on:** August 14, 2011, 05:01:52 PM

Dunno. But as far as the NES games go, Ambassadors are getting early builds of the emulator and will be able to re-download the public versions for free when they're available for the rest of the world to pay for. I would think that status should be preserved whether you download early versions or not. GBA games are a different story.

I've always taken that announcement with a grain of salt. I find it exceptionally difficult to believe that Nintendo would leave Yoshi's Island unavailable to the public. Now maybe, just maybe, they intend to publicly release the SNES version and leave the GBA version exclusive to us. But, I find it more likely that "no plans" for a public release means nothing more than "we haven't set a release date yet".

Police Girl · **Reply #46 on:** August 15, 2011, 06:05:02 AM

Intresting thing to note, Club Nintendo members can get coins for their 20 free games if they have registered their 3DS before the games release.

Seems like 2,000 free coins to me.

Nintendo 3DS customers who performed the latest system update or connected to the Nintendo eShop before 11:59pm Eastern time on August 11, 2011 were automatically registered in the Nintendo 3DS Ambassador Program.

During the week of August 15th Nintendo will launch a website that will allow customers to enter their Nintendo 3DS serial number to check their Nintendo 3DS Ambassador Program eligibility. Once the website is live, you will receive a message with the link.

Starting September 1st, 2011, Ambassadors will be able to download 10 NES"TM" games at no charge from the Nintendo eShop. By the end of 2011, Nintendo will also provide Ambassadors with 10 Game Boy Advance Virtual Console games. To download these games, Ambassadors will need to connect* to the Nintendo eShop. We will be announcing more information and instructions for how to download them soon.

*Wireless broadband internet access required.

OK, the Ambassador Program serial number tool is available now~ (GN)

Write the serial number from the back of your 3DS and see if your 3DS is able to get the free games!

Don't enter the last number inside the square border thingy.

CephiYumi · **Reply #48 on:** August 20, 2011, 06:46:58 AM

It's weird, cause the text above it specifically says to add in the number from the box as well x3

Phi · **Reply #49 on:** August 20, 2011, 07:11:58 AM

Yep, i'm eligible. I already knew beforehand, but it's nice to get that sense of closure. Just wish Nintendo would have released both GBA and NES games at the same time.
