Paid Members FLips Posted November 28, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted November 28, 2011 Sort of a Semi-Spoiler (everyone is making sure to mention it though, including Official Nintendo Mag's Review) but after you finish World 8, you unlock 8 more Special Worlds which is just as big as the first part of the game. About 50 Levels, not including Mushroom Houses or those pink Bonus levels. They're all quite hard too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CiderBag Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 So does anybody know if the 3DS is due a price drop in the run up to Christmas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members PunkStep Posted November 28, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted November 28, 2011 So does anybody know if the 3DS is due a price drop in the run up to Christmas? No, it's already had a massive fuck-off reduction. So big in fact, it was very uncharacteristic of Nintendo to do in such a short time after they launched a platform.

CAREBEAR LUVVA Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 Great stuff. I'm properly stuck at the end of world three now, so with a load of extra (and more difficult) stuff after the main game's finished it'll keep me going for ages. Â I'd imagine if the price of a 3DS is going to be dropped for Christmas it would've happened by now, to entice people into buying one over all the other consoles that are around at the moment.

Solution 9 Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 Any word on when the GBA ambassador games will become available? I'm also one of the ones that hasn't touched his 3DS since August due to precious lack of games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Arch Stanton Posted November 30, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted November 30, 2011 What's an ambassador game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members PunkStep Posted November 30, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted November 30, 2011 Basically, Nintendo uncharacteristically dropped the retail price for the 3DS by quite a lot only a few months after it came out- no doubt due to disappointing sales. As this no doubt pissed off their hardcore fanbase that bought it at full whack at/shortly after launch, they treated those said fans by giving them 20 free games to download. 10 are NES ports (which are already available to download) and the other 10 are GBA ports (not available yet, but apparently will be by end of year). Â They aren't shit games either, the NES ones so far include some of their best titles- Super Mario Bros, Zelda 1 & 2, Donkey Kong, Metroid. I can't remember the GBA titles they will be giving away but they are also damn good. This giveaway to the fans that paid full price for the 3DS is what Nintendo are calling the 'Ambassador Programme', hence the 10 games are known as ambassador games.

King Pitcos Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 Free games for mugs (like me) who bought a 3DS before the massive price drop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Arch Stanton Posted November 30, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted November 30, 2011 That's a nice touch from Nintendo, sounds like those that paid full price will certainly get their money's worth. Doesn't help me as someone thinking of picking up a 3DS soon though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Pitcos Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 I'd definitely prefer the price drop over some old rubbish games, but they do help soften the blow a bit. Or they will when the GBA ones come. The NES ones are rubbish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members PunkStep Posted November 30, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted November 30, 2011 Yeah I'm not into the old NES ones. I downloaded a handful of them- the original Super Mario Bros hasn't aged well. I found the first game totally unplayable as soon as Mario 3 came out- just blew it to shit. And although there have been better Mario games since, you can still have a blast playing Mario 3. I wish they'd have given us that. Â Zelda 1 I don't see the point in playing, considering I have downloaded Link's Awakening. The first Zelda game I would imagine is shite in comparison to that. And I don't think I'd ever give Zelda 2 a chance, it just doesn't seem right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sym Posted November 30, 2011 Author Share Posted November 30, 2011 Mario, Zelda and Metroid are far from rubbish in my eyes! Â Really enjoying Mario Kart 7, struggling to put it down! JLM best be getting this for some good old time trailing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Arch Stanton Posted November 30, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted November 30, 2011 It's decent considering 3DS games are pretty expensive and the top titles (Mario and Zelda games) never seem to get reduced, so it's a good chance to build up a bit of a library without spending any more money. But yeah, can't imagine you'd get too much play out of ancient NES games unless you're a proper retro game enthusiast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
