Nintendo 3DS Ambassador Program

[granville]

Odd, maybe it's a regional thing where you have to do it at a certain time (or the message is only sent out at a certain time in certain regions).

I am in England with an English 3DS.

The Ambassador video says "by 11:59 CET".

However, "CET is currently not observed because locations are on Daylight Saving Time." according to http://www.timeanddate.com/library/abbrevi...nes/eu/cet.html , so, Nintendo fail?

It is now 11 Aug here in England, I have connected to the eShop, but I have had no confirmation that I am now enrolled as an ambassador.

Pokemon should be one of the GBA's 8D....
Oh well, I'm looking forward to this because I never played GBA/NES games at all.

 

[how_do_i_do_that]

No. If pokemon was part of the download, we would have people posting "How do I transfer my pokemon from the VC to my pokemon black/white etc." questions.

Good point, that would take up at least 15 pages.

 

[ShadowSoldier]

I'm in. Score.

Eh the ambassador program shouldn't be enough to sway you to get a 3DS, considering you can emulate all the games their are offering on the PSP, at a third of the cost. Not worth it really when you think about it.

That's your opinion. In my opinion, the console deserves to be bought. It's a great handheld, and Rayman, Zelda, Street Fighter, Face Raiders, and the games on the eShop are amazing.

Has the GBA list been released? If not then who knows.

 

[how_do_i_do_that]

partial list was already given in the ambassador program.

 

[DxEggman]

Wow, I thought I was a bad pirate. I'm happy to be getting the 20 games, but I'm left scratching my head at how many "I can just emulate anyway" comments there are.

I checked and got both messages.

amptor is in.

However, none of the games are in 3D and I can already play all of them from a DS flash card so I don't see what the big fuss is about.

On the other hand it will be novelty to go in and pick up these wares legit inside of their system when it comes out though.

For the NES games you are correct. However, the GBA versions will run much better than the DSTwo's GBA emulator which hasn't had a decent update since 1.21 and doesn't even have the source code released.

I'm a pirate, but I much prefer to have legit versions of games, it just "feels" better and makes me want to play them.

Geif pokemon emerald plz?

that's also pretty much what i'm looking forward to, as this will be a native GBA emulator (or virtualization?) for the 3DS with the game embedded in it (or is it the other way around?) and as such will perform EXACTLY as the original game on the original hardware, which is to say, way way better than current GBA emulators for any platforms.

 

[chyyran]

Got the message.
20 free games, here I come

 

[dgwillia]

Isnt there a chance that the NES games might recieve a 3D update though? I cant remember where i read the quote, but i remember reading somewhere that it said something along the lines that Ambassadors would be able to re-download the games free when they recieve updates. (Also mentioning something about Multiplayer)

Either way, cant wait to get these NES and GBA games. I love filling my handheld systems with multiple games so i have to carry less around. (Plus i have wanted to replay some of these games anyway)

 

[CannonFoddr]

Didn't get the message (probably only the US got it), but I did recieve about a week ago a notification about the ambassador program. No confirmation though.Same here - connected to eshop this again this morning (11th Aug 5:50am) got no notification in either eShop 'news' or the home page 'notifications' - I'll be trying again after work (no WiFi in work

)

Even tried Another World's 'tip' of downloading the free video player 'Just-in-case' (although I had to do it the other way round - I had to delete the player first THEN re-download it

)

QUOTE(Tanveer @ Aug 10 2011, 11:00 PM) Got no message, but no need to worry. I am sure everyone who connected is in.

I bloody hope so

 

[dgwillia]

Im sure if you had proof, you could easily show that to Nintendo and get included somehow. (Seeing as the system logs all of your downloads and such)

I'm pretty sure they will, if not only super mario bros (I think reggie mentioned it somewhere in an interview)
But all the NES games will recieve updates for their manuals, and multiplayer

Dang, lucky people who got the cheap 3DS and the free games. Seems like Nintendo doesn't mind at all.

 

[ManFranceGermany]

we europeans dont get this massage, because we dont need it. Im sure its about the laws in the us.
lets face it, in the usa warnings and varifications are written on every product.
