lol at anyone that ran out to buy a 3DS because of the Ambassador program. And for those of us that bought it prior to the announcement of 'free stuff', you shouldn't assume you're going to be compensated for a sudden price drop.

I never paid $80 for these games. You got ripped off.
$80 bought you the right to play the 3DS for months before the price drop.
The only people you should be laughing at are the ones who bought it before the price drop for the free games and didn't get their money back once it did drop.

Edit: Sorry for the bump, I was doing a search for info about the Ambassador games, and a couple of the replies bugged me, probably not bump-worthy, but too late now I suppose.
So when we put gems like "Rayman 3D" aside (even though I was super-excited to play a lazy port of a Rayman game that ran worse than it did on older consoles), you had a Pilotwings game everyone said was too short, a submarine game which everyone said was too short, and three versions of a "Dogs" game that was supposed to be "+ Cats," but even Miyamoto said he didn't want it to be called that, and there's a grand total of one cat breed per version, so it was really just "better dogs than before."
The "killer app" for a lot of people was a 1998 N64 game, with some nice graphical alterations but almost nothing in the way of new content, that wasn't even ported in-house.
Some right.
The GBA games are going to have the hacker intros still on them. "RIPPED BY DAIZAU, MAD PROPS TO T-DOG, Enjoy your Yoshi's Island fuckers."
Yeah, and its giant selection of... uh... you know... the... uhmn... like the games they hyped like Kid Icar- oh that wasn't there. Well there was plenty of stuff on the eSho- oh that wasn't there for months either. At least we could use it for the internet brows- no, same deal.

Wildcard berths that can't beat teams without a winning record should have homefield advantage
Meh....I thought SSFIV portable was great and Pilotwings was underrated.
Still too expensive, though.

I did forget about SSFIV portable, but I still heard a few bad things about it, and of course it didn't run in 60 FPS in 3D mode, which kind of killed that feature for a lot of serious fighters. DOA
had a similar problem.It was literally the only reason I bought my 3DS. A huge mistake on my part honestly.

No-one is asking you to come into the thread, mate. Just ignore it.

If you purchased the 3DS at $250, you did so because you wanted the system, not because you knew you were getting free games.
You bought a 3DS to play NES and GBA games?
Yeah that doesn't make a whole lot of sense.
Yeah, 'cause he was totally being serious.
Maybe you should try reading the posts in the thread next time you try to make a funny joke about the content of such posts.

How about
and
You asked for only one post to fit my description so I gave you one, but there's at least three before my post, and I'm sure they'll be more before the thread defends into obscurity.

At least Nintendo is staying consistent. They've always been slow to release their digital games, and the ambassador ones will be no different. We'll be lucky to get them before Christmas.

What's wrong with releasing them on Christmas? Besides, somewhere out there might be a little boy who is not getting many presents. Wouldn't it be nice if his 3DS would light up on the magical Eve and let him know his free games are now available.
I just hope we can utilize the upcoming eShop shopping cart on items from the download/purchase list.

Zing.
Meh, nothing - -would be pretty awesome actually - my only pain is that it's so late!
And a little boy that isn't getting anything, but has a 3DS? Um, did he ask for 3DS games?
What if their parents only buy them clothes for Christmas?
Fixed.

Anyone know if it's possible to transfer your "ambassador-ness" to a new 3DS? I really want that black Zelda one...

I'm actually hoping Minish Cap is part of it - I haven't played it and would love to.
Nope. Nintendo even made a point of it.
You can according to Nintendo Europe.
EDIT: You can actually transfer the games, but not the Ambassador status.

You forgot the part about us (well, France only) getting Napoleon instead/one of the games is Napoleon meaning everywhere but Japan and France is getting 9 GBA games. Wait, better make that America gets 8 due to Kuru Kuru Kurin being another one. Shall we go for 7 with Polarium Advance (Atlus USA blocks it as Mother 3 revenge)?
To make it more bleak the other 2 games are NES Classics Super Mario Bros and Kirby: Nightmare in Dreamland.
QQ, is it an absolute requirement to have logged in online to get ambassador stat?
Don't say things like that
Hmm, maybe that's why that Mother 3 Handbook just got a reprint?
We probably won't hear or get anything on the GBA titles until after Mario Kart 7 is released though

Anyone playing SSF4 "seriously" wouldn't using be the 3D anyway. You can't exactly hold the 3DS perfectly still while playing it, so the 3D feature would be annoying. SSF4 is also only 30FPS online regardless if you play it with 3D on or off. This still didn't stop me from clocking in over 30 hours on it though. It's an excellent port overall and was the best launch title on the system....no way I would even own a 3DS right now if that game hadn't been released.
DOA Dimensions' problem is that the online is completely bare bones outside of friend matches. No rematch options, no player matches...just 2 or 3 round match options.

Yeah, it was a real dissapointment.
I still wish Capcom would do a 3DS SSF4AE2012 release given they could probably push the engine and networking a bit farther now (60fps 3D, 60fps online, animated backgrounds, online spectator, voice chat, etc). I think there's enough incentive there for an update, beyond just the content additions and balance tweaks AE2012 brings.
Yes, I paid $170 for 20 NES and GBA games. It happened that the system involved in the deal was a 3DS.
That's how I look at it, anyways.
you could have bought a NES and GBA and all these games for less than $170
Maybe I should have. Too late now!

You chose poorly.
Indeed. ;_;
What information do you even have right now that you didn't have when you purchased it?
Go get SM3DL. Should soften the blow.

I would assume that doing a 3DS to 3DS transfer of everything would move along the ambassador status to the other system seeing as it takes everything over...?
