Gaming 3DS ambassador games out in NA (For some people)

[heartgold]

So... how do they play? Is the screen stretched good? blurry? pixely? any display options?

its like an exact rip of the nes game, and the graphics are fine.

Does it look better than on the DS?

by looking at the screenshots... I can tell that it plays like a normal Virtual Console Game. It has black bars on the sides.

Give me a few minutes and I'll upload some gameplay pictures and edit them into this post.

wait when do i get the gba games again? i thought i got the with these games?...
and hmm i am playing smb right now, the screen is stretched vertically to match the height of the screen, and the aspect ratio is the same as the original.
i saw on some thread that there are some buttons you can hold down or something to make it look 'old school gameboy' and get a border around the game screen too, i forget what buttons though...
any other questions i should answer?

Not really, it has that slight smooth finish that you can see on some nds games played on the 3DS as well. I find it ugly, but some people think it looks better. Its barely noticable and the game looks fine.

GBA games come later in the year, we don't get them all at once.

Got mine too

Does anything happen if you hold start/select during loading?

The button holding trick is not available on these NES ones until the real VC ones come out for the public to pay for- these are basic emulations with no whistles and bells.
We have to re-redownload them later to get all features!

I don't know why but I feel like not opening the gifts.

It is free.

Enjoying them now. Although I must say controlling with the analog is more difficult

Yep, all free to re-redownload. We don't get the savepoint feature on the GBA ones, just a WiiVC style 'close it and it saves' jobby. Not that this is relevant to this post, as we probably won't get those until December 31st

Still waiting for the EU version

So don't?

Yup I'm using the D-pad

For the later GBA games though... Analog!

I find even DS games a little awkward on the circle pad- Mario 64DS, GTA Chinatown wars and Pokemon White are all hideous without D-control!

I got them too. Didn't think I did but you have to check just like the OP said. Go into settings on the eShop and look at Your Downloads.

 

[bowser]

Well I would have downloaded them too but my internet connection at home conked off yesterday!

Hmm...maybe I should wait for a while in case there are reports of bricked 3DS' from these
