nintendo really isnt that secretive, they post interviews about why they're developing games and the thought processes behind them
lol seems kinda open plus we've had multiple explanations for the price drop, not really much of a secret, plus they've revealed part of their lineup
i think they just didn't have anything else lined up and assumed just half assing releases would grant them a DS successor or something
I've already DLed the Excitebike 3D remake and the Netflix app. I should be good for the 20 free games, right? Or do I need to register at Nintnedo?
And I'm one of the early adopters who doesn't feel cheated/slighted by the price drop. I've enjoyed my 3DS a good amount, and I got it for $200 by trading in my DSLite. I knew what I was getting into with being an early adopter.

EDIT: Also, the Wii didn't get the NES version of Dr. Mario due to the WiiWare version, but the Game Boy version is already available in Japan's 3DS eShop despite a DSiWare edition existing. Take that as you will.
Why would you do that?

If they put Kirby's Adventure on the 3DS, I will love Nintendo forever. Definitely the best NES game, better than the GBA remake.

Hopefully they didn't reveal the last 5 of each because they're in talks with other devs like Konami to get some of their games in there too.
The best NES game is Dragon Quest 4.
Seriously, thing is HUGE and well balanced and charming and full of stuff to see and do. It's a masterpiece.
Kirby is Nintendo's best first party game though (well, SMB3 gives it a run for its money).

I just got a spotpass update about the ambassador program in the US. Probably same as the one in Japan. I'd be pretty excited if I didn't read gaming news then just saw this msg on my 3ds one day. I bet there's some little kid freaking out in America right now getting this.

Was it actually confirmed that we won't ever be able to move these games over to future 3DS revisions? I thought I heard that somewhere....

I thought Kirby's Adventure was a bit boring. >_> But I played it after DL2 and SSU.

Based on the fact that the NES games are definitely getting upgraded to the sale versions, I imagine they can make the jump, at least.@MUWANdo said:

Honestly, this is exactly what I do with them when it comes to anything that doesn't have to do with game/system design.jooey said:

If the free games are the same in Japan and international regions, than it won't be StarTropics. It was never released in Japan, and even in the Virtual Console era they've refused to release it there. It's like "once a western game, always a western game". It's Japan's Mother 3 in that Nin will never release it.Lambtron said:
Also, I didn't see this posted - looks like SMB3/Amazing Mirror weren't confirmed after all. From the same NOA rep, reposted on GoN:
My guess is that someone saw that one fake e-mail that had SMB3/Amazing Mirror, shot a message to NOA about it and they just hand-waved it away without actually paying attention to the games that were listed.

This is ultimately why despite hemming and hawing I decided to hold off on a 3DS purchase for now. I know I'll just want a hardware revision anyways so what's the point of picking this up if I won't be able to transfer the games. Also I assume the 10 remaining games will be ones I don't want. Fire Emblem and Advance Wars and Wario 4 would be nice, but they're pipe dreams I think. Gotta expect rock bottom with Nintendo, always.
Ah well, 3DS XL will be great I bet! And the games I want will be out by then too.

Yes. Yes they are. I can't wait until a game sort of "requires" you to use it. 4th walls will be broken, and miraculously.oatmeal said:

It does let you do that, if you run out of space, you can save your doodles as a picture.
What baffles me though is that there's no universal way to take a screenshot (even though it leaves a screenshot of your game saved on the touchscreen while you are multitasking a game)

And one thing that's struck me as a stroke of genius: Don't you pass Spotpass messages to other 3DSes you encounter that haven't recieved them through online sources? Speaking personally, if I didn't have my 3DS online, and got a message that I'd get a shitton of free games if I got my 3DS online, I'd get my damn 3DS online!
This may get a lot more people into the eShop. On a regular basis, too, if they keep dripfeeding the GBA titles.

Any hints on when they'll say the 5 remaining games from the NES? After all, those will come out in less than a month.
I assume Kid Icarus to be one of them, to attract people to Uprising.

I would like to play StarTropics seeing as I never have before, but the fact of the matter is that it seems like Nintendo's 3 different regions all hate each other. They never seem to work together, and they all seem to be 3 different entities. Obviously, that is just stupid. There is no reason they shouldn't work together. I understand the separation, but when it comes right down to it, it's no excuse.
Don't know how old is this, but I just received a message through the 3DS (Spotpass? I'm new to this ) about the Ambassador Program. Same from their press release, but still made me feel nice that they haven't forgotten about us in Puerto Rico.
They're also looking into solving the issue with Nintendo Video not working on 3DS owners from PR. They thought it worked, but it wasn't untill me and a few others sent emails to inform them, that they noticed that it wasn't. Told me to try again in 2 weeks as they're currently investigating the problem.

Dunno if this is already old or new thread-worthy, but CheapyD says he was told by a trusted source that Walmart will be dropping to the $169.99 price on August 9th. Assuming this is true, this will probably be good enough for me and my wife to pick up a 3DS without having to mess with return/matching shenanigans. I do hope that the Kirby GBA game winds up being true though, my wife would be super psyched about that.

I thought I heard that they would announce it in a couple weeks, the remaining five NES (and maybe five GBA) games.
These lists are getting redundant, but I'm really hoping for Kid Icarus, Zelda II, SMB2, Punch-Out!!, and Kirby's Adventure for NES, and Super Mario Advance 4, Mario & Luigi, Drill Dozer, Advance Wars, and Metroid: Zero Mission for GBA.

Read on cheapassgamer that supposedly Wal-Mart is dropping the price Aug 9th, a chance to get it early and get the games.
