And who would have bought a Wii a month before the last price drop if they knew? You not knowing what being ripped off is is why you use the term "ripped off." Nintendo thought the 3DS would sell for $250. More importantly, you thought it was worth $250. You weren't tricked, you weren't forced into anything, you weren't lied to, and you certainly weren't ripped off. You're just butthurt because I guess that's the kind of person you are.

So what you're saying is that you bought a 3DS because you thought it was going to be $250 for a good while, not because you wanted one and thought $250 was a reasonable asking price for what it offered?
Early electronic adopters; this is how it works. If you want to save money, buy a year after an electronic launches. Otherwise people should shut up, because the companies owe you nothing.

If I had known the choice was buying it for £200 and eventually getting some free NES and GBA games or waiting four months to save £50, I would still have bought it on launch. I'd have probably done the same without the ambassador programme, actually.

Again, lame comparison. A console that just got released is a whole different thing to a console in the middle of its lifecycle.

Every time a 3DS thread derails into "omg sucky ambassador games" I think to myself: "OH BOY! AT CHUCK E CHEESE I WOULD HAVE GOTTEN EXTRA TOKENS ROWARDS ANYTHING AND A PIZZA WHISTLE OH BOY!"

BTW, I remember when MS dropped the price with xbox. They gave you a controller and two games in return. Atleast here where I live. Thats what I call a good deal
And that set you on a path towards a lifetime of self entitlement?
Well, I hope you didn't buy a PS3 early in its life, because those people didn't get or deserve anything for it.

Yeah without a doubt....most of the people don't give a **** about most of the VC games. (if not all)

No thanks to any more stupid 3DS threads or threads where the range of discussion only extends as far as whatever the OP wants to whinge about.
So, in essence you are upset with yourself for being an uninformed consumer that just buys new electronics the second they are released. Not because there is something the electronic can do or play that you want, but because it is a novelty. When the price drops you realize that you really didn't want or need the electronic at the time you got is and should have waited till it was cheaper or could do something you wanted.
You know I get upset at my own stupidity, too.
And I've only unlocked like 6 new hats. So I still have over 45 new hats to go. You must have to replay it a lot, or there's even MORE. ;_;

TF2 + Nintendo = StreetPass Mii Plaza (firmware 3.0)?

I'm tempted to mess with the clock so I can play more Find Mii 2. The coin requirement for those of not getting a bunch of StreetPasses is really steep. The game is so good too.
Most likely a Miyamoto or Iwata mask.
That would be so awesome.

So guys, to use the streetpass games, presumably I actually have to meet people via streetpass? I mean, I can't play Mario Kart online and get the hits required to get the puzzle pieces etc? Because if so, it's sadly a feature I'll never get anything out of.

Now I wait for demo's to happen on the eShop.
The 3D recording and stop motion stuff is pretty cool - and I was done all the puzzles in the Mii Plaza so I'm glad there's more.

Yup, you have to (omg!) go outside and get hits. If you don't, at least you can use the coins from the pedometer to hire cats and dogs instead.

5 and it seems so.
One way that might verify that the Ambassador status has transferred to a new system would be for one of you fine, intelligent (and probably good-looking) individuals who has already done this to pave the way for the rest of us to go into the eShop and try to /re/download one of the Ambassador games. (You might have to delete one in advance; just to be safe I'd pick one you're not super fond of, like maybe NES Open Golf for me.) I guess the true test would be when the GBA games come out.
My assumption is that: If you *can* re-download & play the game, then your The Everything has transferred properly to the new system. If you *cannot* re-download & play the game, then the Ambassador status is not valid for the new system.
Also, to you brave individuals who already took the plunge, on behalf of Zelda 3DS purchasers such as myself: Thanks.

The Ambassador games do transfer, yes; it was mentioned on page one or two. It's still not 100% certain if Ambassador status transfers, though.
You know, electronics drop all the time and consumers are never comp. for it. Such is the way it goes. I thought the 3DS was worth $250, paid $250 for it, and I'm still good for it.
The Ambassador games are a nice perk, along with some other free stuff we have gotten. They didn't have to do that and it was a nice gesture considering I expected a price drop and nothing else. So whatever. I don't see the bitching.
If Sony dropped the price of the Vita in six months and didn't offer shit, I wonder if people would defend that over what happened with the 3DS. lol:

Someone who has done the transfer needs to put their new transfer-accepted system into the Ambassador registration test.
Some people are currently unable to redownload the NES games regardless. For me, it says "This software is currently not available" or whatever.

I've converted a pretty good Sony 3D advert (Two Worlds) for the video player - works pretty good!

I think Japan's getting Wario Land. I hope we do as well.

I think we're getting Blaster Master and Pushmo.

There's a pretty good chance America is getting Zen Pinball and/or Pushmo. Doubt it'll be both but I'd pick them up for sure. Wario Land on top of either one of those would be the best eShop update so far.
According to Nintendo PR the update would have automatically downloaded today if you have updated your firmware any time before and hadn't manually downloaded this new one. It must be nice to use the passive download feature but I was too excited yesterday and had to have it right away!

That is actually interesting. So the 3DS can install firmware updates without the user knowing it.
It was nice! I usually keep my 3DS in my pocket during the day for streetpass stuff (as I work on a college campus). When I went to bed, I pulled out my 3DS and there was a Blue SpotPass light. I started the FW install right then and there.

No. It can download them on sleep mode while attached to a wifi network.
It then notifies the user when the lid is opened to advise an update has been downloaded and is ready to be installed.
Yeah, worked a treat for me (JP system auto-downloaded the update overnight, woke up to blue light, installed straight away).
Oh. =/
Having only played Wario Land 2 back in the day (one of the best GBC games IMO) I'm definitely going to get Wario Land and Wario Land 3 when they hit. I'm only really counting on Pushmo for tomorrow though.
