Support NeoGAF

[Wolfgang Jr]

VERY keen for someone to help me get one of these babies pleeeease.

 

[holysan]

169€ seems alright, if they keep it as the launch price.

 

[SerodD]

Got one as well, not sure if I'm interested I wanted a new 3DS XL not the small one.

 

[dc89]

 

[E-phonk]

Official announcement somewhere after the 12th i'd assume.

 

[Jethro]

In other "news" Review embargo for Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate ends February 12th, it's Thursday. Game Release on Friday with New 3DS?

 

[Kyou]

Hopefully NA gets in on this in the next couple days

 

[Hasney]

My account said "No newsletters" for some godawful reason. That'd be why I didn't get it, or the Tomodachi/Smash demo codes.

Ohhhhh, yeah mines set to no as well. There really should be a separate email list that says "Yes to free shit and offers like this", but I'll enable the newsletter now.

 

[Cjdamon042]

Yep, got this email. From the UK and got my 3DS day one.

I would be tempted but I'm more interested in the New XL rather than the standard size one so...

What do?

 

[Spiffy_1st]

I just got an email too.

Do I get this or wait and hope there's going to be a special Majora's Mask 3DS.

 

[JordanKZ]

Nothing here yet.

Edit: daww...

 

[deleted]

IIRC, 169.99 is the current price for the OG 3DS (199.99 for 3DS XL). So...wait, is this a confirmation of New 3DS price in Europe, actually?

How the hell is the 3DS XL that expensive? I'm sure that I haven't bought it at that price.

 

[Mpl90]

At this point, they have to announce the official release date soon, right? I mean, the Club Nintendo page has the classic amount of infos you'd find on an official page for the thing, its Nintendo Direct could be just a matter of days.

 

[cireza]

I hope that I will have the email !

 

[TangorFopper]

Technical question: during the checkout the website asks for the credit card details (off course).

Do you know if the money is taken right away? (My credit card is "rechargeable" and currently I don't have money on it).

Thanks.

 

[Bazry]

I'm waiting to see if there's a Majora's Mask one

 

[MicH]

That's pretty darn cool. Good thing I already imported an XL as I live in a country where Club Nintendo doesn't exist.

Those ambassador plates are pretty ugly though

I think we would know already if it came out on February 13th.
...But February 20th, if not February 27th are possible good guesses for MH4U release.

Spoiler

As well as New 3DS

 

[Magwik]

NOA fails us again

 

[Zevenberge]

I'm looking for some bait to bite, but Nintendo didn't cast their rod yet.

 

[foltzie1]

Well this is tough, assuming something like this is done for NA by NOA

Spoiler

confidence level low

, go for the bundle or wait for an XL?

NOA fails us again

Its 230am for NOA, give them a chance to wake up before they disappoint.

I'd assume so. Says they're In Stock, so they're ready to go.

 

[Sandfox]

I like that faceplate.

Why the FUCK don't I have this email...

 

[Immaculate]

to access the page you have to log in apparently so for people who didn't get an email yet maybe try logging in? https://store.nintendo.co.uk/ninint/nintendoLogin.account?returnTo=http%3A%2F%2Fstore.nintendo.co.uk%2Fninint%2Fnew-nintendo-3ds-console%2Fnew-nintendo-3ds-ambassador-edition-bundle%2F11054445.html

 

[maniac-kun]

Im a Ambassador but I didnt get that mail yet.

 

[Tempy]

Got the email - as much as I'd like it early, it's a bit expensive when I'm not really interested in a charging station and the offered faceplates. And I'm still waffling between regular and XL :|

Your account won't be eligible if you didn't get the e-mail.

 

[I Wanna Be The Guy]

say "boo" if you were expecting a new set of Ambassador games.

Boo. Not that I'm too disappointed anyway. I don't even play the 3DS anymore and had no intention of getting the new one. Still giving some games away with the new system for OG 3DS early adopting dumbasses would have been nice. God I was such a fucking moron paying £200 for that thing back then. That quick price drop still hurts to think about.

 

[Putosaure]

Says delivery is approx. 7 days.

WHAT ?

 

[thechemist]

Your account won't be eligible if you didn't get the e-mail.

Yep that's correct, thought I would try my luck but oh well

 

[dan2026]

Is this new 3DS finally region free?
Maybe it will be worth it.

 

[Storm360]

Got an enail, but fuck paying £180 when its not even the XL version

 

[dani_dc]

Got the email (Portugal).
Doesn't seem much of an offer to be honest, I'm basically paying for every single extra thing they throw in the bundle. Better to wait for the release and save €30.

Also still ridiculous that the 3DS no longer comes with chargers.

Is this new 3DS finally region free?

It's not region free.

 

[Woffls]

hmm, got the email, but £180 is rather a lot for something I'll never use. It does look rather nice, though.

 

[Shane86]

This Club Nintendo account is not eligible to take part in this promotion. Wasn't going to buy it anyway

 

[BooJoh]

If NA gets a deal like this I'm not sure if I'd bite, but I'd be very tempted... I haven't quite decided on white or black yet.

Has NOA even publicly acknowledged the existence of New 3DS yet?

 

[Aostia]

damn, was not interested but now I'm very tempted!!!

 

[Clefargle]

Very slick, enjoy UKGAF! I want to have a chance to get this in NA if it happens here.

Edit: figured it out

Forget it then. Nintendo keep fucking up

My Day 1 Ambassador 3DS says Fuck you, Mr.

 

[Linkstrikesback]

Got the email. Cute, but no thanks Nintendo. Not interested in any non XL 3DS, new or otherwise.

edit: especially not paying £180 for a n3DS when I could have imported a n3DS XL from play asia for £170 (Which was too much to get me to bite).

 

[Hasney]

My Day 1 Ambassador 3DS says Fuck you, Mr.

If you don't have newsletter and other emails allowed on your Club Nintendo account, you don't become eligible.

It's a rip off anyway. Can get it cheaper getting it from Australia, import charges included.

 

[Newline]

No email (UK account), gutted.

 

[Putosaure]

Can't even pay, there is always an error occuring.

I don't know if that deal is that bad, it includes a set of faceplates + charger cradle, which might cost around 30€ anyway.

 

[Phazeta]

I got the e-mail, but the login button doesn't work. Anyone else have the same problem? I'm in the Netherlands.

 

[SpacePirate Ridley]

Yep just go the mail. Too bad I can't go bad to the smaller screens.
Sinceresly I would have liked an XL that would have worked with faceplates.

 

[Dead_Pixel]

In nintendo don't release the black regular n3ds in Europe, then I'll cry :-(
