I'd be pissed if that were true. We payed a hefty sum for those, it'd be a shame if others could get them for free via an exploit. I guess this is what it feels like to be a legal consumer.

You didn't pay sh*t for them! You were happy to buy a 3DS at the launch price and there was no hint of the 'Ambassador' games at the time. That's the price you pay for being an early adopter. Things go down in price all the time. I haven't been given a set of free cable tidies (or whatever) from Phillips just because the price of my TV came down by £50 a few weeks after I bought it.

You were lucky to get the free games in the first place. Nintendo didn't have to do that. I kind of wish they hadn't because in doing so, the sense of entitlement that early adopters generally have has sky-rocketed well past their usual levels.

That being said, I agree that as they were a gift from Nintendo to you select few, it wouldn't be great if other people were able to get hold of them by other means. They should remain exclusive. But you didn't pay for them!

So I read through this thing. And I've still got no clue what this is about.
You create a QR code, and if you scan that, you'll get an eShop game.
From what I did understand.

This thread seems to assume that there IS a download page for the ambassador titles. Remember, the ambassador games were downloaded through a hacky 'you have already downloaded these titles' way, not an actual download page like for the 'real' eshop titles.

there are download pages for them, they only show "more details" tab and "Ratings" tab. same thing for the preview video downloads and e3 video downloads, along with the Green Lantern trailer download.

They weren't free, we paid $80 for them, even if it was indirect.

Not to state the obvious here, but you don't think Nintendo will notice if a system that doesn't have ambassador status suddenly downloads 20 games only available to ambassadors?

Well, 18 games, since Metroid and Super Mario Brothers are now for purchase. Sounds like something that can be fixed with a simple page change, and might just kill re-downloads for those with the status.

But if it works, I got 2 systems in house that I'll try it with. The other 3 have ambassador status and the games downloaded already.

Its not like Nintendo stalks over a million 3DS'S
