We'll only get the NES games, mind you. I own most of the NES games that will be made available... instead of forcing us specific games, they should have just add 80 bucks on funds on your eShop account.

That actually isn't a bad idea, and perhaps an early release of a bunch of GBA games for the Ambassadors so we can have a better selection of games rather than just 10. Us launch 3DS members deserve more!!!

But what about 3rd parties? They'd be getting ripped off then.

I'm sure it is for the ambassor program which is a week away. Although they could have picked a better day to do it than new content day. I wish they'd go ahead and reveal the other 5 NES games.

No they won't. It's exactly the same as normal, just this time it's Nintendo's own money that will have to go to the 3rd party.

Anyway, they could also just release more games so you can choose which one you want. I like most of the games, but i just don't like being forced those. i would have rather had others. But hey, it's better than nothing.

this ambassador program is a nice gesture but it really isn't 'costing' nintendo much aside from a fraction in lost revenue. Odds are the majority of people that will get the free games would never have paid for them in the first place. Whereas if they credited 80$ to everyone's accounts and we were free to buy 3rd party games they would actually be losing money. The only cost for them to provide these free games is the development effort to get them into place and the paltry network costs to transfer them to the devices...very minimal cost

No. The "funds" on your eShop account are not actual money. The actual profit comes when you buy a points card at retail or use your credit card to add funds.

That doesn't work because you could then spend the money on thrid party games. And there isn't $80 dollars worth of Nintendo games on the Eshop

Well, then "you can download 20 games", no matter what they are. Even DSiware if you want.

I guess they were just spending all of that time adding Gargoyle Quest or whatever to the eShop channel... >>; lol

They added a few games to the shop, mostly DSi stuff of course, but none of them really caught my eye this week. Which is probably good since I need to save money.

The blue-man group videos look interesting, they are usually pretty good, but when I went into the video channel is was being a bugger and still displayed the (u.u) ok go video and smurfs video.
