Got my 3DS a day early!

[manuel]

Yes, there are already over 20 games on the e-shop.

Virtual Console is starting to look better, too. Still waiting for Wario Land, though.

Ah yes, the 3D video... if only it worked for my country
I have region changed to UK and I have also tried some UK proxies but without luck. "...Not available in your location"

Oh and I'm so jealous about that Rockman World!

You're not missing out on a whole lot with the video channel.  It's almost entirely movie trailers and PG-rated videos from College Humor. 

Honestly, I didn't know College Humor even *had* videos that don't involve lots of swearing and nudity.

I can't believe they made a 3D Classic out of Urban Champion. There is NOTHING in that game you can count as a classic. It was one of the worst games ever back then, still was on Wii Virtual Console and it's not better on the 3DS.

I understand the deal with putting out the crap FIRST because otherwise no one would buy it. But they could mix it with some REAL 3D Classics, like Super Mario Bros. That would also broaden the appeal of the 3DS. But noo, they just want to convert games that takes two weeks to redo in 3D. And it smells cash-in from the other side of the globe.

However, I'm a fanboy, so I bought it. Got to round 45 at the first try and the rankings is a nice addition. But it's the same crappy game as always, both boxing and this can be beaten by random button mashing. If you play against another player there is a bigger chance of winning if you just mash buttons. (Can't say this is true if you play it for a long period of time, but no one, NO ONE; will ever waste that much time on this crappy game. If you do I envy you a bit.)

Back to grinding Skill Points in Resident Evil...

[manuel]

I agree.
I wish they'd bring out some more "big guns" in the beginning.

I have a question about the ambassador programme - is there a way to see if you are qualified already from your 3DS?
Or will it be possible only by typing your S/N here  http://ambassador.nintendo-europe.com/  (for Europe, should work soon)
I heard some rumor that the US have a special notification saying "You are an ambassador" - is it true?

[UglyJoe]

Got my first StreetPass tag today!  I always carry my 3DS with me when I go grocery shopping so I can rack up 10 coins from walking around the market.  I guess somebody else was doing the same thing today

I have a question about the ambassador programme - is there a way to see if you are qualified already from your 3DS?

I got a message telling me how to register, but not a message telling me that I successfully registered.  The message in the 3DS market says to go to http://support.nintendo.com/nintendo3DSstatus to check.  Worked for me, but dunno how it will work for those outside the NA region.

Hey guys!
Try to download the ambassador games!
At least in Japan they're ready for download and I got all 10 on my system already! 

[UglyJoe]

One of my friends in Japan is playing through Zelda 1 now to see if you can kill Pol's Voice by screaming into the mic.  I anxiously await his results

Woohoo, they're in NA, too.  Just kinda hidden in the store settings: http://kotaku.com/5835966/heres-how-you-nintendo-3ds-ambassadors-can-download-your-free-nes-games

[jpx72]

YAAY got it in EU! AWAWAWAWAWA   in the "titles dowloaded" section!!!

So, should I download all 10 of them (NES) or save some "free download credits" for some other games?

[manuel]

You should download all 10 titles, because those are the only 10 NES titles that are free.
Later there will be 10 GBA games available that you can download with the same method.

[jpx72]

Hey do you know what's the best on these games? That they run here in EUROPE in NTSC SPEED!
NO PAL SLOWDOWN like it was on the Wii Virtual console!

I only hope that when they will be officially available, the trend in speed will stay.

Anyway, saving in Zelda? press start, then L+R switch controllers and push Up+A !!! I love this -original- way!

[L___E___T]

Really hoping they put VirtualBoy games on the eStore.  I think they will come 'later' because of the controller issue.

[manuel]

That would be nice. I'd love to see the VB Wario Land on the 3DS.

[petik1]

Saw this on Kotaku:

3DS price announced at $250: Everybody freaks out.
Vita price announced at $250: Everybody pleasantly surprised.

3DS battery life announced to be 3-8 hours: Everybody freaks out.
Vita battery life announced to be 3-5 hours: Everybody pleasantly surprised.

3DS accessory announced: Everybody freaks out.

Vita, you're up.
