    OK, I have a question. My original 3DS went missing. Well, the ambassador games that would be attached to the system have popped up on the Club page for me to do a post plat survey for 10 points. Does this mean that someone has downloaded those games to my system or do those show up automatically due to the ambassador program?

    I would guess it's automatically counted due to the way they were awarded. That is, they just added them automatically to your Club Nintendo account and you had to "re-download" them as if you had purchased them, but then deleted them beforehand.

    The 3DS ambassador program? People who bought a 3DS before the price drop got 10 NES and will get 10 GBA games for free. The NES games will be available for the rest of public at a later date (and possibly upgraded/3D) but the GBA games right now are ambassador only.

    Ambassador Program is the thing where if you got a 3DS before the price drop then you got some free NES games and will get some free GBA games.

    Ah cool, av sort of apology for the early adopters then. Pretty nice of them to compensate.

  • Jam WarriorJam Warrior Registered User regular
    It worked pretty well at making a potential shit storm into a pretty neutral event.

    I haven't gotten my pins yet :(

    YAY I got my pins today, yours must be pretty close!

    They're pretty cool, the packaging is especially neat. Also, when you take all the pins out, there's a shitload of them, and they're good sized with pretty nice clasps in the back that seem like they'll hold up pretty well, as opposed to a lot of the chinsey pins I have.

    Why'd you have to go and put a Nintendo copywrite on all the pins!?!?! I know who owns the rights to Blooper, Nintendo. Ah well.

  • Big ClassyBig Classy Registered User regular
    Does anyone have an ocarina? im sure they were available at one point. Trying to get hold of one for someone.

  • Jam WarriorJam Warrior Registered User regular
    EBay or Etsy will be flooded with them. An unofficial one will probably be much better than the plastic thing that Nintendo was using as some kind of promo at some point.

    Sorry if this was mentioned already; I checked back a bit, and didn't see anything, but...

    I guess third parties have codes now? At least, Sonic Generations for Nintendo 3DS does...

    So is it cool to start inputting my codes into my account now? I've already got my platinum reward so I can start working towards the next one now, yes?

    Platinum status doesn't reset until June. Are you platinum for this year yet? If not then you could have already put all your codes in.

    I already have Platinum for this year, so all of my codes are being stockpiled until June. It's kind of annoying.

    I also have some surveys that expire this month that I have to do. It won't count towards next year's status but it's nice to have coins.

  • AuburnTigerAuburnTiger Registered User regular
    I'll have a Twilight Princess code soon if someone wants to nab it; would prefer a trade, but doesn't really matter; I've already got the code on my account so I can't use it. :(

    I did this last year, but I figure the Wii U's launch will easily get me into platinum territory for the 2012-2013 season.

    I'll be at Platinum with Mario Kart 7 I think, but i'm going to just keep entering everything as I get them. I like getting the extra 10 coins from intend to buy. I'll have those coins for the 10 GBA ambassador games eventually as well, I'm going to be waaay over Platinum this year.

    Probably going to sell these Pins soon. It's very nice but I just have no use for this at all.

    How much do you think the pins are worth? Despite how awesome they look, I don't think I have a good use for them.

    How did the pins come?

    USPS? Fed Ex? UPS?

    Most of my individual boxes holding the pins came moderately bent; I had to take them all out and remove the creases by hand as best I could. :(

    But otherwise, they look pretty neat.

    Got mine yesterday via USPS (thanks Vyolynce).

    Pretty underwhelming but at least it was free.

    I have no room for it where I live currently so into the closet it goes!

    Like I said in the industry thread, Fluidity and Mario vs. DK are also supposed to be offered in addition to the ones pictured.

    I've heard really good things about Fluidity, it depends on how much they're charging for it!

    To be honest when you step back a little and consider it, it'd be nice to have other Nintendo rewards instead, things you can't get anywhere else. 100 coins is quite literally about $100 that you spent in order to get that $8 game.

    But it's still a nice gesture and really does give us some good things to spend our coins on, which people have been clamoring for for ages.

    (I mean if you step back and look at the tote bag and consider that it cost you about $500, or whatever...it can be better not to think about it.)

    Damn, I thought that Super Mario Kart was on 3DS for a minute :( I don't think I want to bother with more Wii VC stuff (unless something great comes along), but having that game portable would be pretty neat.

    Fluidity costs 1200 points last time I checked. 800 points : 100 coins :: 1200 points : 150 coins?

    It was also one of my favorite titles this year and I heartily recommend it for either price.

    Well, they are bonuses, unless you were just buying the games to get codes to register...

    That said, more Power Club Catalog-type stuff would be nice. I'd like a new watch, personally...
