I don't mind waiting a bit longer in the United States if we have to pay less. Plus we get an AC Adapter included! NOA finally knows what they are doing.

If only they knew...

So, why the delay in North America?

Just watched Japan's Nintendo Direct and it was better than E3!!

I'm hoping for Professor Layton and the Mask of Miracle!

I'm more of a morning person, so I might have trouble staying awake until 12 AM.

@Cipher It is an hour before both North America and Europe's.

@James You are going to make a lot of people angry you know. The Nintendo Direct starts at 11 PM EST and 8 PM Pacific. You might want to change that. Edit: I was looking at Japan's conference time.

So E3 passes and no mention of Professor Layton and the Mask of Miracle? How much longer do we have to wait? You would figure with Level 5 even trademarking the title a few days before E3 that Nintendo or Level 5 would have said something.

The demo was compelling, but I don't think I will be picking up this game.

I knew it would be at least 4 years. What we some people thinking when they thought they would see something at E3 2012?

@TheHermit I guess we'll find out in a little less than 3 hours.

My body is so ready for E3!!!

Bring on Miiverse!

There is only one way to describe how I am feeling about E3 2012. [youtube:2Gc5cuekQto]

The controller looks great, but I feel sorry for the guy who leaked this. My question is why would you leak something like this knowing that you would get fired and possibly sued by Nintendo for not keeping the NDA?

@James It's not the the link doesn't work it's just that they are all gone.

This offer is over, it was a super limited time thing. By the time I found out which was about 13 hrs ago the offer was already over (they were all sold out). Readers should be informed of this.

Yeah! NOA has announced it will translate Japan's conference through Twitter/Facebook updates pertaining to North America (of course) at 11:30 PM EST!

Still waiting for a conference for North America...... hopefully it will happen.

I feel disappointed for some reason. Don't get me wrong, I love playing 2D mario games but considering it feels like I just played New Super Mario Bros. and New Super Mario Bros. Wii not too many years ago, I was anticipating a completely new game for Wii U. Who knows, Nintendo may show off multiple mario games at E3.

It's a good thing Pikmin 3 is definitely going to be shown off at this year's E3.

This game will most likely make its way westward due to the large fan base. I'm also sure this will happen as it is the most requested game to be imported in a Level 5 survey.

London Life is exclusive to North America, but don't worry Europeans remember DS Games aren't region locked!

The 3DS virtual console service needs better games, now! I'm getting frustrated with very few games that are good every couple weeks, with games I never even have heard of before. Nintendo just puts its hand into a bag of old, unwanted, no-name games and pulls out a title. Nintendo needs to bring GBA titles to the virtual console and not the no-name ones. As a 3DS ambassador I am satisfied with the games announced thus far, but I would like them to release more games for this service that you can buy much like now with GB and GBC titles.

Nintendo Give us Ouendan 3!

Well, I'm on the other side of the country... no chance I'll be there.

GBA games coming to the 3DS VC service? Please no redesign....

Well some people like me like it.

@SuperLink Nintendo states the following on their ambassador FAQ. "More details will be available closer to when the titles are ready for release." That gives them a little over a week to announce the remaining NES titles at least if we are to find out before September 1st.

I'm In. Now waiting for Nintendo to announce the other games we will get for free...

Well, I already have all of these.... Bring us WarioWare Smooth Moves Nintendo!

This will be my last DS purchase. Then Nintendo can bring Kirby to the 3DS!

Well, I guess I will wait to see what's availible next week.

@47 Nintendo stated that the GBA titles would not be transferable but the NES titles would be.

I don't understand why so many people bought the blue 3ds the black one is way cooler.

This defeats the purpose of the Ambassador Program...

Oh... I already have all these games. Oh well!

3DS sales should definitely pick up within the next few months.

I feel like NOA is just messing with me as it does say may have included.

It would be funny if Kirby's phone got hacked during gameplay.

Nintendo of America accidently told me two more titles in an email.

Kirby and the Amazing Mirror and Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3.

Here's the email for anyone who wants to see it.

Hello,

Thanks for contacting us. First off, I want you to know that I documented your comments and reported them to the relevant departments here at Nintendo. We appreciate hearing what is important to our consumers.

When Nintendo announced the price drop we also announced an offer to the loyal consumer who purchased the system at the original price. Let me share the details with you:

• All current Nintendo 3DS owners will be able to download 20 free games from the Nintendo eShop, half of which are available exclusively to you as an early adopter and will not otherwise be made available for purchase or download on Nintendo 3DS.
• In order to get these games, you will need to use a broadband Internet connection and go into the eShop by 11:59pm Eastern time Aug 11, 2011. If you have already done this, you are set. Once this is complete, you are automatically registered for the "Nintendo 3DS Ambassador Program."
• Then, on September 1, 2011, you’ll be able to download 10 NES Virtual Console games at no charge, before they are available in the Nintendo eShop to the general public. All the game titles are not known as of yet, but here are the games I know are included so far:
  o Super Mario Bros.
  o Donkey Kong Jr.
  o Balloon Fight
  o Ice Climber
  o Legend of Zelda
• Next, at a later date, you’ll be able to download 10 Game Boy Advance Virtual Console games. Unlike the NES games, these will be available exclusively to Ambassadors—we currently have no plans to make these 10 games available to the general public on the Nintendo 3DS in the future. Again, not all the games are known, but here is the list so far:
  o Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3
  o Mario Kart: Super Circuit
  o Metroid Fusion
  o WarioWare
  o Inc: Mega Microgame$
  o Kirby & The Amazing Mirror

More details will be made available at a later date, so keep an eye on our website (www.nintendo.com).

At this time, we have no plans for alternative offers similar to what you've described, but I hope you feel like we’re treating you fairly with this program and that you’ll continue to be a loyal Nintendo customer.

Sincerely,

Dervin Camden
Nintendo of America Inc.

Nintendo accidently leaked to me in an email that Kirby and the Amazing Mirror and Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3 were coming to this program, I still hope Nintendo Life posts this story.

Wii Relax U anyone? The Wii vitality sensor may not be dead after all.

I contacted Nintendo and received this response. "Thanks for contacting us. We had hoped to have the short-form video service application available at the launch of the Nintendo eShop. However, we are still in the process of developing this service as we want to be sure that it is polished and ready to go. While a specific date has not yet been determined, I can tell you that in the near future, users will be able to download this free application that will enable them to view specially selected video content, including 3D movie trailers, comedy clips and music videos automatically received using the SpotPass feature. (Please note that this service will be different than the Netflix download, which is scheduled to be available sometime this summer.)"

The Pokemon Company seems to be favoring Europe lately....

Ha! Ha! Europe's just getting Kirby's Epic Yarn!

IGN gave us hope, then they crushed our dreams...
