how can we check if we are a "nintendo ambassador"
There is no way to actually confirm if you are currently.

However, to be absolutely sure, you should go to the eShop on your 3DS right now. Then you're guaranteed to be signed up.

But the price drop makes my siblings happy, since it isn't as steep now.

EDIT: I wonder when it'll let me/ask me to become a Nintendo Ambassador?

And im gettin that much for my bday XD YAY

Then you just have to import all of your games too!
and?

It's just inconvenient, and I'm sure there is no guarantee that prices will remain favorable when it comes to importing fees and the like.
inconvenient here games take up to 3 weeks sometimes months to even get released here after the US so it's worth importing. and if there's ever a flash cart that works with 3ds games you can bet i'll be getting it in a nano-sec

one outstanding question is:


Will the Ambassador Program be available and/or accessible to people outside of the 4 Nintendo regions (US, Europe, Australia, Japan)?

because don't forget, Nintendo, you're ALSO making Asian units. OFFICIAL, Asian units (Singapore/Malaysian). and yet no eShop of their own, not even credit card support, no Nintendo Video support... damn. it's like Asia is the unwanted bastard child of regions. :/
You cant use e-shop?
If not, I dont see how the Ambassadors Prgram is gonna work out.
Maybe there will be other plans for Asian Units.
Na it should be cool...I have a DSi from Singapore TWL-001 (ASI) and it had 1.4.1U on it. It should be the same with the 3DS. Maybe chris888222 can confirm this?

No, if u have read the previous post in this tread chris888222 is also worried that Asian 3DS owners may be left out of the Ambassadors Program. I myself is also worried that we may not be registered as a Ambassador.

Hmm... I was just about to sell my 3DS too.. Guess I'll hold off selling until the rest of the free unknowns are revealed.

Aw man... I won't be able to afford one until the price drops, but I really want those free games... Anyone know of a retailer that might do a partial refund if you buy a product that has a price slash just a couple days later?

Target gives you 90 days to return it. Walmart probably does the same or more. If any of this is of any help.

You know what disappoints me about this though is that all these games are not 3D and that I can already easily play them from a flash cart on any console that I choose. This would have been jumping up and down impressive if the games, or at least half of them, were 3D remakes even if they are originally 8bit and 16bit 2D titles.

I think that the fact that these are multiplayer (updated, at least) is rather impressive.

Nintendo even said that it is rather hard to program an older game into 3D without time to do so.

For those of you in the US, you can get the 20 games AND only pay the $169 price.

BestBuy has a 14 day price guarantee. Buy your 3DS now for $250. After the price goes down on the 12th, just take your receipt back to BestBuy and they will refund you the difference. You keep your 3DS that is now qualified as an "ambassador" system.

Will they drop the price of the XL or DSi? I was about to buy an XL to my 4 yrs old son 'cause
the 3DS seems like a waste of money, for him I mean, and because of the warning of the use
of the 3D effect on kids younger than 6 yrs. But at $170 I might buy a 3DS for the two of us!

Nintendo has already informed Best Buy of the ambassador program. Price matching for the 3DS has been disabled until September (According to my local BestBuy)

The DSi line has not had a price drop.

For now, it would be better to get a 3DS. There are parental controls to disable 3D, as well.

Would rather 80$ worth of nintendo points
closedeyes.gif

But they don't have points for the e-shop plus than you have to pay tax. You don't mean you wanted 80 dollars worth of points for the wii. Do you self a favor and hack ur wii if you have not already.

Did a long time ago, I wouldn't be complaining if I had my 3DS hacked though.
