The price drop may have resulted in the 3DS’ much-improved sales in recent months — leading to it already surpassing first-year sales of the DS — but it also left early adopters feeling like they had made a mistake by choosing to pick up the 3DS so quickly. Luckily a gesture was made to keep them happy: a selection of 20 classic games would be given to them for free. Nintendo still plans to make good on that promise by the end of the year despite rumors to the contrary.
Ten of those games were NES titles released at the end of August. They are (eventually) planned for public release on the eShop, complete with additional features. 3DS Ambassadors– the name assigned to anyone who bought a 3DS before the price drop and enrolled in the free program — will be able to upgrade to these enhanced versions for free once they are made available.
