I thought it would be very straightforward and my 3DS or the eShop would tell me exactly how to get the first 10 free games that were released on September 1, 2011, but it was not. Instead I only stumbled across that they show up on downloaded games and you have to click redownload to get them. Below is a step by step walkthrough to get the games if you are an Ambassador (i.e. you bought and used eShop before price drop).
How to Download 3DS Ambassador Titles
- Enter eShop on 3DS
- Tap on Menu in top left corner
- Scroll down and select the Settings/Other option
- Scroll down and tap on Your Downloads
- Scroll down to find the titles. The amount you have to scroll will vary depending on how much other stuff you have downloaded from the eShop. You might have to click Next to go to another page to find all or some of the free games for 3DS Ambassadors.
- Tap on redownload for the games you want to download.
- Repeat the process to download the rest.
Overall the process is easy, but it is kind of annoying to have to go through all the steps over and over to get all of the initial 10 Virtual Console games. Although, not as annoying as the fact that there was no alert. However, in the process of getting all the games I also found I could download something called Ambassador Certificate, which allows you to turn on notifications. Thus for the remaining titles promised to eventually be released for free to Ambassadors I should be able to know when they are available to go download.
