Which will still be the 1st of September.Could be tomorrow night at midnight.
Anyone know how we'll actually claim the games? Eurogamer are saying that you'll need proof of pre-price drop purchase. I hope registration with Club Nintendo should suffice, even though they said simply logging onto the e-shop should be ok.0 -

You had to log onto the eshop befor the 12th of august just gone, as that was the the day of the price drop, so, I'm not sure if you have missed out, but I think there is a website you can go to for european sales prevs to 12th aug and reg your system but I have no idea what the address is, sorry!
The list of games is pretty cool must say!
Zelda 1 & 2, nice but have both for my GBA
Super Mario Bros., nice too but have for my GBA
Donkey Kong Jr. never played it tbh so, yay!
Balloon Fight, never played it tbh so, yay!
Ice Climber, never played it tbh so, yay!
Wrecking Crew, never played it tbh so, yay!
Mario Open Golf, never played it tbh so, yay!
Yoshi's Egg, this is just Tetris with eggs etc, have it for my GBA
Metroid, have it for my GBA
Even though I have 5 out of 10 of these games already, still a nice list of free games!
Does anyone know if these games will all fit onto the 2gb card along with the other 10 GBA games coming at Xmas? I know they are super small in size but with other games and vids downloaded since June, that 2gb card can fill up super fast.0 -

Tad more info
And seems to be confirmed that all 10 games will be available on September 1st:
The ten NES Virtual Console games will be available to Nintendo 3DS Ambassadors beginning Sept. 1. Due to the large number of redemptions, you may experience a longer than normal download time per game.
And:
Here's the news you've all been waiting for: Metroid, Open Tournament Golf, Wrecking Crew, Yoshi and Zelda II: The Adventure of Link are the other five NES VC games you will be available to download for free on 9/1.
Also, the games won't be available directly on the eShop, but on the "download history":
From the Nintendo 3DS HOME menu, select the Nintendo eShop icon.
Scroll left and select "Settings / Other."
Scroll down and select "Account Activity" to view a list of transactions.
The NES game will be listed here once it is available to download. Tap "Software Info," and then "Redownload" to begin the download process.
Also, an "Ambassador Certificate":
The Ambassador Certificate is a downloadable video available to Ambassadors.
By tapping the receive button on the Touch Screen when viewing this video, Ambassadors will receive updates regarding the Ambassador Program, such as when new titles are available to download. As soon as details for the 10 Game Boy Advance Virtual Console titles are available, we will send an update to those who have opted in using the Ambassador Certificate.
Ambassadors will be able to download 10 Game Boy Advance Virtual Console titles for free before the end of the year.
So all ten definately on Thursday

Nintendo are very fond of their artificial scarcity to promote hardcore devotion though - just look at the way they handle things like official soundtrack releases for the core Nintendo franchise games, or the Zelda retrospective game disc, for example.
I'd happily pay good money for the soundtracks to the last 4 or 5 Mario games, several of the Super Smash Bros games, several of the Zelda games and the Metroid Prime trilogy, for instance - and that's just off the top of my head. But I can't buy them - sure, I can find torrents of them if I really want, but I can't give Nintendo (or the original composer) some money for them. If I want a legit copy, I have to either jump through some damn-near-impossible hoops on the few occasions that Nintendo runs a competition, or I have to let go of silly amounts of money on the secondary market to someone who had nothing to do with creating the music I'm buying.
Which is bloody silly, really, but difficult to change.0 -
