can i get a 3ds number
Aye - got me Zelda DX (had the original cart on the Color...and my brother had the original monochrome version :)) definitely one of the best in the series.
Glad Minish Cap is getting a release on the Ambassador program - I never completed that but thoroughly enjoyed it whilst I was playing it on the Advance.
Am looking forward to Four Swords nex week too :)

The NES Zeldas are stupidly difficult, especially Zelda II.
I pre-ordered a red 3DS the other night (which should arrive next Friday) and I'll do my best to pick up as many Zeldas off the eShop thingy as possible. I won't be able to partake in the ambassador program though, so I guess I'll have to wait a bit longer to grab these NES/Gameboy games.
If you haven't already played it Edgy, you should buy Link's Awakening DX from the eStore. The Minish Cap is also being released as part of the Ambassador program (though I've never played it). And this Friday you'll be able to download Zelda: Four Swords (a slightly improved version of the GBA game) free of charge!

The original Zelda is definitely getting the most play out of the NES originals on my 3DS...I love the whole Virtual Console remembering where I left off thing...
All downloaded this morning but not had a chance to try any of them out yet.
The 10 NES games that can be downloaded by 3DS Ambassadors now will be available at some point, though not at the moment. The 10 GBA games that will be available to Ambassadors (ie those who bought their 3DS and signed up for the store before 2nd August) will be exclusive, at least for 2011.
Cost seems to vary per game from £2 to £8.
For instance, titles available on Virtual Console 3DS now:
Kirby Dreamland £3.60
Double Dragon £2.70
Gameboy Donkey Kong £3.60
Zelda: Links Awakening £5.40
Super Mario Land £3.60
All, bar Link's Awakening, are Gameboy games and I'd imagine the NES games will be similar prices.

I want pretty much all of those games (especially the Zelda games), but I don't plan on picking up a 3DS for another month or so.
Can I still buy those games from the store, or are they only available to users who connected to the eStore before the price drop? If they are available to everyone, how much roughly does each game cost?
