Nintendo’s “Ambassador program” is rushed and somewhat botched
Twenty free games for early 3DS owners is far from the worst deal in the world. The thing is, it sounds like this “Ambassador’s program” is incredibly rushed.
First off, as was hinted at in the official press release, the NES games that will be offered on September 1 will be “early” versions of the final product. They won’t have digital manuals and there won’t be any cross system multiplayer support. Users will be able to download a free update at an unspecified date to enhance the NES titles.
The GBA offer also suffers from a few issues. None of the games allow for sleep mode usage or SpotPass/StreetPass communication. Oh, and you won’t be able to transfer these games to another system.
Nintendo will begin offering the NES titles on September 1 and the GBA games later in 2011.
