Yes! I'd re-download right away, but my 3DS battery is dead and can't find the charger!

@StarDust

Bravo, ambassadors! Have at it!

Why couldn't they make it Full Screen

Slow and steady... I guess...

...And it it amazing!!! I hope that this is implemented into the other NES games sooner than later. I'd like to get a good run on Zelda 1&2 with zero deaths. This is much easier with some sort of save state. Mario is a good start I guess.

Glad to have my 3DS a whole year soon. (39days to go^^)

Nice update. I really like the 3D NES icon on the 3DS menu screen. I just wish that Nintendo would add an option to map out the button layout on this game. I want to run with Y and jump with B.

Any difference in the versions of TLoZ? Haven't seen any yet. Post-game?

Also, Ambassador Certificate got an update that changed the color of the text background. The definitive game just got better!

I've noticed that pressing L + R then Y allows you to change to player 2, don't remember that option being there before! Though I've hardly player the VC ambassador games as I knew they were getting updated so it's possibly been there all along!

Can't wait for the day you can play the applicable games with simultaneous multiplayer.
@Grubmeyer(#6): Does anything special happen when you complete these games without dying at all ? (Don't want to spoil anything here but a simple yes, no or idk would be awesome. )

I've been waiting for the update, though not so much for the restore points (I mainly use them for tricks). I was most worried about the Home Screen icon- I take great pride in the appearance of my Home Screen, lol. I like the coin sound that plays when the game is highlighted as well. I wonder if that will be used for all NES games or if each game will use a sound effect from the game itself.

Awesome, this will make it much easier to get to Bowser in World 8.

love the nes graphic

wait what? Wireless multilayer?!
goes to check

@battLeToaD Honestly, I'm not entirely sure. I know it's been a theme of Zelda to offer some sort of reward /special ending sequence for game saves with 000 death completion. However I do not know how early that tradition started and I'm only familiar with its use in games more recent and including links awakening. "

Does anything special happen when you complete these game without dying at all ?

Nope. Its just an achievement not to have any deaths recorded on your save file.

@Grubmeyer:Thanks dood.
Wouldn't make sense to use restore points for it if you don't get anything special. If it's just about the achievement consider yourself a cheater now.

Slightly offtopic but could it be that downloading the updates of eShop titles enables you to take part in the EU Club Nintendo surveys ?
While i didn't download an update for Kirby's Block Ball it's present twice under "My registered products" _{(maybe not the actual term on nintendo.co.uk, just a rough translation of the German title "Meine registrierten Produkte").} One of 'em had the the option to fill out the survey.
As i said it might not actually have something to do with the updates, it's just the first and only eShop title i can fill out a survey for. Previously i thought they'd never add that option.
I can only make a test in a few hours once i get home. @James: Maybe you'd be interested to check it out before ?

@10 Yeah, thats been there all along but it's pretty much useless.

Excellent!

Once again Nintendo doing something they should have done from the start, and acting like its this great new idea. Emulators have had this since the stone ages. I luch prefer playing on hardware though.

@Geonjaha What makes it useless, exactly?

Finally...nintendo is using their brains.

@winter123(#21): I didn't see them touting this much anywhere. Could you show me examples that prove your statement please ?

Cool, I just now updated - now, to try and beat this http://www.nintendolife.com/news/2012/02/can_you_complete_super_mario_bros_in_under_five_minutes

It already has a digital manual. Make the game full screen. Make it save after you pass a level. Make the bottom screen a map so you can choose the level instead of automatically going to the next. That could sell. Sadly, I dont think it'll happen.

@espinozac7 That's probably never gonna happen. 3D Classics Super Mario Bros. could though...

Im getting an update on Excitebike, anyone else too got 1?

well,now that the restore points are in the emulator, why not upgrade all ten ambassador games with them? seriously, that's lazy, I need one on Zelda II already, I COULD beat Zelda II without it, it'd just take a lot longer

So does anybody know why some of my Gameboy VC games had an update available? I updated them and saw nothing new.

@THENAMESNORM That's actually been there from the beginning.

I wish there were some way for me to reset and go back to the original quest now that I've beaten the game once. I was hoping that would come in the update but no such luck. I'm still constantly in Buzzy Beetle hell. I guess I'm just going to have to delete and redownload the game every time I want to see Goombas again.

@grumblebuzzz If I remember correctly it is possible, just requires a little bit of patience. Basically its as follows(borrowed from another forum):

Open up Super Mario Bros on your 3DS.
Push the power button on your 3DS.
Push the Home button on your 3DS.  (This will return you to the Home Menu instead of power off)
Next time you open up Super Mario Bros, you will be on the first quest, and the top score will be erased.

Let me know if this works for you, I've yet to actually make it all the way through. Having too much fun messing around with the glitches.

@MrPlinkett-789 No wireless multiplayer yet. Mario wouldn't support it either way. It was always only played with a single controller. I think. It's been a long time since I've played luigi in anything...

Downloaded it and it's great.

if only i could transfer the game from the wii to the 3ds,wants it but dont want to spend 5 bucks on it again

@WolfRamHeart They did update the button mapping. But, instead of using 'y' and 'b' you use 'x' and 'a'. It's the same idea and way more comfortable. I'm surprised no one is mentioning it in their articles about the update.

@Grubmeyer It was played with two controllers originally but, the first player controller was the only one capable of pausing the game.

Of course the theory i had about the updates (comment #18) turned out to be bogus. I downloaded some of 'em but can't do the respective surveys on the European Club Nintendo.

@Joshers744(#30): Somebody said NoJ told people they'd only fix problems the games have with some SD cards. Couldn't find a source yet though and i wished western Nintendo would explain 'em themselves.

@Grubmeyer Thanks for the tip! Going to try it now.

@Grubmeyer It worked! Sweeeeet. Thanks. I missed the 8-bit Goombas.

cool i just beat super mario bros with the restore points.luv the 3d nes icon too.
