I swear they just used a random number generator for some of these prices.

Thanks for taking one for the team.
So there it is, they're not the ambassador games, it's an error.

Only half of it though, which effectively has a real-world value of four pounds.

And Germans can finally buy the English language version lol.
I might double dip if nothing else comes along.

Oh man the pricing of some articles is really odd. Why are GBA games so freaking expensive compared to SNES games?
I have 4750 stars in my account. I was thinking about getting NES Remix.

Why is Wii Street U 1300 points, it was free, wasn't it?

Only for a limited time launch promotion.
It is not free. The free version is just a demo.

Metroid Fusion is Wii U only? Damnit. I don't know if I want to spend the points on MK8 DLC but I don't think there's going to be anything else I'll like.
Awesome we finally have it!
At least I have something to get...I think, not sure when club Nintendo codes stop being distributed and points not being redeemed anymore, but if nothing else else good physically comes up (Which I probably wont have enough points for anyway), could get some cool digital goodie.

Not sure if the list is wrong or they are still addiding games, but
Just remember that the MK8 DLC is JUST THE ONE RELEASED SO FAR

She won't. Those are mislabeled U games.

Copmplain to customer support claiming you were miss-sold. I'd be interested to see if they "correct" your stars or actually generate a download code for ambassador Metroid Fusion (it could be technically possible to do but it requires the relevant department to do something).
Unless you've already started the download in which case, oh well...
It might shock you to find out that stars are coins are different currencies.
For example a retail Wii U game in America give 50 coins while here it gives 250 stars.

Of course not. There are no SNES games on 3DS.

Wait, A Link to the Past is the English version? So why did they force me to play it in German when I downloaded it from the eShop?
TheMoon

Because you're not from Switzerland where they have to offer multiple languages due to them all being official languages. The CN catalog covers those countries, too so they have to offer all the codes.
Ah ok I wasn't aware of this.
Still, 22 and a half full retail games over the years would get me one 5th of Wii Sports Club and Alleyway, for example. Bit of a con to be honest.
You can choose whether you want the English, French or German version.
This could be a sort of temp replacement for the Nintendo Network Premium until Club Nintendo gets replaced by the new membership service. Plus it's nice to have the ability to get the games as rewards even though the physical stuff is usually better to spend your stars/coins on.
So we are finally getting digital tiles on club Nintendo just as it closes. Not that it's matters since they are overpriced.
Ah well I will get Metroid II and some other games.
Still overpriced for a butchered version.

Don't we still have a few months to go? I think I'll hold onto 5000 points just in case we get another soundtrack, those games don't interest me anyway.
Is it actually the full content pack, or is it just a Link Unlock as it is difficult to tell.
Edit: Full content pack, which seems like a decent price.

Watch out, the ambassador stuff is incorrect and are Wii U codes in actuality.

How do I complain to nintendo about the download code? I got wario and metroid, but they read as 3DS at checkout.
Robin64

And you wanted them for Wii U? Because that should be what you're getting.
Send them an email, take a screen cap as evidence since this is their mess.

click the flag at the bottom of the page if not in UK/Ireland for info appropriate to you.
Do not redeem the codes on Wii U
They will probably give you a refund on the stars upon the codes being revoked.
Also make sure to screencap the 3DS part if they turn around and deny that they were misleading.
Also be patient and expect to have to explain the whole story from the start even when replying to them.

Dammit. I was excited at the prospect of ambassador games and there's nothing that interests me on 3DS that I don't already own.
Oh, well damn, that's unfortunate. In that case I'll hold on to my stars.
