Early adopters of the 3DS can now confirm their status.

http://www.nintendoworldreport.com/news/27543

The Ambassador confirmation page is available now for North America and Australia.

Players who already bought the 3DS prior to its price change can visit the page here and here for Australian players. Once they access the site, they must enter the serial number of the handheld (Tip: leave out the number in the square at the end if it doesn't work). The status will then be confirmed.

When this is completed, players will be able to receive free games to download onto their handhelds.

For (at least) North America, DO NOT enter the last digit of your serial number (the one in the square box) into the toolbar. If you enter every letter/number of your serial, it tells you that you aren't eligible, but without that last one, it tells you that you are. I'm gonna call NoA to make sure I'm squared away even though it told me that I was eligible.

I will check later, but I SHOULD be part of it since I downloaded 3D Classics: Excitebike, Pokedex 3D, the Netflix app, and every 3D video they had from E3, so I should be part of it.

I'm confused... I entered EVERY digit and got the confirmation. I don't understand your argument. I also don't understand how it's possible to get the confirmation without every character typed in. Anyways, go ahead and call, but it worked for me. I think everyone should just type the number as they see it; then call Nintendo if it doesn't work out.

Information is not available for this serial number. We are not able to confirm your eligibility for the Nintendo 3DS Ambassador Program.

When I typed every single digit into the bar, it said that the system was not eligible for the ambassador program. Then I read on another site about leaving out the last digit, and it worked after that. It appears this may be a North America thing (if that's not where you're from).

LOL, maybe Pedro edited it after Pajamas comment, but the OP mentions that hint.

Hmm… I downloaded Let’s Golf 3D two weeks ago and when I entered my code BOTH upper case and lower case it said my “[font=]Information is not available for this serial number.” I also tried it with and without the last digit, it didn’t mater. I’m not worried because I can still prove I’m an ambassador (because I’ve received two Spotpass updates concerning it). But what’s the point of having a confirmation page if it only creates doubt in individuals like me who were confident in their enrollment in the first place? If I can’t confirm it soon then I will have a problem.[/font]

If you recall all the crap that happened with the OoT soundtrack givaway, it's pretty obvious Nintendo's web people don't know how to work a website very well.

Well lets see. should i check, is checking needed?
i downloaded videos from e3, i have the usual suspects of free software.
i even called tech support with my name and unit serial number 2
weeks after launch. not to mention i registered the unit, before the cut off date.
so is checking needed? is it like a confirmation without which
i get screwed like some kinda doctor evil fine print.?

Did you update?

Important Note! Only Nintendo 3DS systems that performed the latest system update before 11:59pm Eastern August 18th, 2011 will be eligible to receive the free games.

EDIT:

Eligibility:
You are a Nintendo 3DS Ambassador!

Starting Sept. 1, Ambassadors will be able to download 10 NES™ Virtual Console™ games at no charge from the Nintendo eShop. By the end of 2011, Nintendo will also provide Ambassadors with 10 Game Boy™ Advance Virtual Console games. Look for more information soon.

Important: If you have not already done so, connect to the Nintendo eShop today to make sure you are ready to download your free games starting Sept. 1. (How To) Connecting to the Nintendo eShop for the first time after Sept. 1 could delay the availability of the games.

Either by waiting or going on the Eshop again, it got confirmed....

Weird, I just checked it again and I was verified and okay. Maybe they had a hiccup. Good to know though.

TJ Spyke · « **Reply #12 on:** August 19, 2011, 11:05:50 PM »

I just checked (I included the number in the box since the Nintendo page says to), and it confirmed that I am eligible for the Ambassador program.

"You are a Nintendo 3DS Ambassador!"

Yay!

Sundoulos · « **Reply #14 on:** August 19, 2011, 11:40:37 PM »

Weird. I tried it first with the final boxed number and it failed. The second time, I tried it while leaving the number off, and it was successful. Then I tried it a third time with the full number again, and it was also successful.

Being an importer from Australia, I got sliiiightly worried after the Australian confirmation page that launched last week failed to confirm my digits. Confirm them they didn't! I knew I had to wait 'til this American one launched before poopin' bricks totally though. All is good!

SeaNet · « **Reply #18 on:** August 20, 2011, 02:17:37 AM »

Serial Number: "CWXXXXX405" Eligibility: You are a Nintendo 3DS Ambassador!

I had to include both the CW and the numbers that followed, including the one in the box. I'm in North America.

Hope this helps.

For those of you who live in Japan or imported a Jpse system this is the Nintendo Japan link:
Right here

I'm an cheating ambassador! (Got mine before the 11th for the reduced price)

Nothing for Europe? FOR SHAME.

TJ Spyke · « **Reply #21 on:** August 20, 2011, 01:39:43 PM »

LOL, it's not a big deal of course. All this does is let you confirm you are in the program, you don't need to do it though.

StrikerObi · « **Reply #23 on:** August 21, 2011, 02:36:39 PM »

Pro Tip: You can also look up your serial number on Club Nintendo if you don't have it on you.

Weird how they're doing both the eShop and the serial number, seems like one or the other should have been enough.
