Hero-of-Time Posted January 6, 2015 Posted January 6, 2015 Love to know the method Nintendo use to pick eligibility. Yeah, seems a bit random. You have people who have spent hundreds of pounds on Nintendo products and registered all of their games on Club Nintendo and got sod all. No email for me. Luckily i'm still on the fence about whether to get one or not, especially seeing as lostmario may not be getting Monster Hunter. I wonder if @yesteryeargames got one? I imagine he will freak out if he didn't.
Guy Posted January 6, 2015 Posted January 6, 2015 Didn't get one. Girlfriend did. The criteria is a mystery!
martinist Posted January 6, 2015 Posted January 6, 2015 So I got that e-mail about the early new 3DS but I don't think I want it if its just the regular edition. Was hoping it would be an XL. The faceplate thing seems nice though.
Agent Gibbs Posted January 6, 2015 Posted January 6, 2015 (edited) I got the email.....but i want an XL so i'm honestly not tempted by this....can you send on the email or is it linked to your club nintendo account? EDIT nope non transferable Edited January 6, 2015 by Agent Gibbs
Pestneb Posted January 6, 2015 Posted January 6, 2015 Maybe if there are people who are interested but have no email and people who aren't interested who do have an email.. those two groups might be able to help each other out. I'm definitely interested in the new 3ds, but I think I'm going to hold out until the next handheld is released, there aren't enough games coming out for the 3ds for me to invest in a new iteration
VsPhoenix Posted January 6, 2015 Posted January 6, 2015 Just ordered mine! What a nice surprise! Thanks for the heads up as I hardly ever check that email account. Luckily my mum got the email too, so we'll both be upgrading. Now I just need to get a new memory card sorted.
dazzybee Posted January 6, 2015 Posted January 6, 2015 No email. Didn't get smash codes, tomodatchi codes either... Anyone get an email and not want it I'll have it
Mandalore Posted January 6, 2015 Posted January 6, 2015 Anyone got recommendations for a good 32GB micro SD card for a New 3DS?
V. Amoleo Posted January 6, 2015 Posted January 6, 2015 My New 3DS has been despatched. Estimated arrive is the 9th though as Yodel will be delivering it I'll be lucky to get it at all.
Jimbob Posted January 6, 2015 Posted January 6, 2015 Got an email myself, hoping it was a choice between the XL and standard ones. Only the standard, won't be getting it yet. I'll await the XL version as and when that arrives later this year.
Ike Posted January 6, 2015 Posted January 6, 2015 And @Ike - good to see you've ordered! Who knows what would have happened if you didn't get the email and couldn't get one for your collection! Tables would have been flipped over. Or just waited until the normal release. :p This is a nice collectors item, I suppose. This one will be my last one though. Anyone got recommendations for a good 32GB micro SD card for a New 3DS? I used this one: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Samsung-Memory-MicroSDHC-without-Adapter/dp/B00J29D62Y/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1420556777&sr=8-1
S.C.G Posted January 6, 2015 Posted January 6, 2015 Anyone got recommendations for a good 32GB micro SD card for a New 3DS? Sandisk Ultra 32gb micro SDHC card with adapter £11.54 from Tesco http://www.tesco.com/direct/sandisk-micro-sdhc-memory-card-sd-adapter-32-gb/454-9216.prd?pageLevel=&skuId=454-9216 I've got mine already bought, seriously considering transferring over to it now to avoid a lengthy transfer process on the day as others have already advised.
Glen-i Posted January 6, 2015 Posted January 6, 2015 Yeah, I got the e-mail too. Have no interest in it. As someone who does a heck of a lot of drawing, I need the bigger screen. I also want it in blue. @Dcubed knows why.
Glen-i Posted January 6, 2015 Posted January 6, 2015 Because you like a bit of blue? matron... Heh... Nice. Nah, it's a bit more than just me liking the colour.
Mokong Posted January 6, 2015 Posted January 6, 2015 I got an email...so damned tempted but strapped for cash right now Though even if I had the money I'm going away on next week so would miss the delivery...would the post office hold onto it for 3 weeks for me? Meh I'll wait till after launch for a Majoras Mask bundle I guess

Meh I'll wait till after launch for a Majoras Mask bundle I guess I don't know if you've ever tried but we can't order products from the Nintendo store. They don't deliver to Ireland. Maybe if you use Parcel Motel you could get around that. But they wouldn't hold onto it for 3 weeks and you'd have a hefty fine for non collection as well. I always view these e-mails from Nintendo as taunts now. Like why send me the offers if I can't buy them?

There's a link in the e-mail that's says "New Nintendo 3DS Ambassador Edition bundle page for customers from the Republic of Ireland" You tried clicking that?
dazzybee Posted January 6, 2015 Posted January 6, 2015 Got an email myself, hoping it was a choice between the XL and standard ones. Only the standard, won't be getting it yet. I'll await the XL version as and when that arrives later this year. Can I have it then
Wii Posted January 6, 2015 Posted January 6, 2015 There's a link in the e-mail that's says "New Nintendo 3DS Ambassador Edition bundle page for customers from the Republic of Ireland" You tried clicking that? I didn't get the e-mail. Well that would be a pleasant surprise. Maybe they've started to listen to some of the feedback.
dazzybee Posted January 6, 2015 Posted January 6, 2015 There's a few people who got the email but don't want it, is it easy to give it to someone else?!
Wii Posted January 6, 2015 Posted January 6, 2015 Here's a photo of the Smash Bros. faceplate. A spokesperson from Nintendo of Europe gave the following quote to Eurogamer about who qualifies for the invitation: "The New Nintendo 3DS Ambassador offer is by email invitation only for selected Club Nintendo members in Europe only who fulfil a certain criteria, we are unable to disclose such business information, however we would like to reassure you that we are continually looking at different promotional offerings we can bring to consumers at various times throughout the year. The terms and conditions for such promotional activities are individual to each promotion,but we will endeavour to bring you more promotional activities in the future, which we hope you will be able to take advantage of." http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2015-01-06-new-nintendo-3ds-ambassador-edition-goes-on-sale
Mokong Posted January 6, 2015 Posted January 6, 2015 I don't know if you've ever tried but we can't order products from the Nintendo store. They don't deliver to Ireland. Didnt know you didnt get an email, yeah I thought that too when I saw the email but when I read it as @Glen\-i said there is a link for Irish customers When is the handheld launching officially anyway?
Glen-i Posted January 6, 2015 Posted January 6, 2015 (edited) Interesting... Wonder why I was eligible... When is the handheld launching officially anyway? No idea... It just says 2015. Edited January 6, 2015 by Glen-i Automerged Doublepost
