How to Download 3DS Ambassador Games

  • Turn on your 3DS system.
  • Make sure you are a part of the Ambassador Program, otherwise these games won’t show up for you. This can be done by entering the Nintendo eShop and heading to the “News” hub on the left. If you see an article titled “Ambassador Program Update” at the top, you’re good to go! You can also check your Ambassador status online by visiting THIS SITE.
  • Also note that you must be connected to the internet to download games from the eShop. Your connection availability can be viewed in the top left corner of the top screen on the 3DS.
  • Now that you know you are connected, and indeed a recipient of these games, go back to the main menu of the eShop.
  • Tap “Menu” in the top left hand corner of the bottom screen. This will create a small pop up. Scroll down the list and tap on “Settings/Other.”
  • This will take you to your handheld’s History. Scroll down a bit and tap on “Your Downloads.” Here, you will see every game and application you have downloaded onto your device.
  • Scroll down the list a bit and you should come across the ten games mentioned above. There’s no way to queue all of the downloads up, so you’ll have to do each game manually. Free is never easy! 😉
  • Find the titles you want to download and tap “Redownload.” Then select “Download.” Now the eShop will start to download the game(s) to your 3DS. Be sure to get the Ambassador Certificate as well, as it allows you to sign up for future notifications. You are still waiting on those ten free GBA games, afterall!
  • Once you are finished downloading them, the ten titles will appear on your 3DS home screen. So press the Home button and there you go! Ten new games to revisit. Enjoy!
