Just curious, but are there any other members here who are eligible to purchase one and if you are, have you?

Also, one more thing, does anybody know of any sites where you can import some of the Jap faceplates from for the New 3DS? 0.o

I got the email and ordered one too I was going to get an XL, but I just can't resist something that is exclusive/rare hehe

i bet if something like this comes to the US..it will be at the NYC Nintendo store..i'm sure Nintendo wants to make a huge splash with the re-intro of 3DS..and wants people to buzz about it, so i figure something like this would happen in NYC since we technically don't have an on-line official Nintendo store like Europe,. but unlike Europe have an official Nintendo store in NYC

It's here!! ^^ Was surprised it dispatched so quickly after purchasing it. Paid extra for next day. Was so happy to have received an email to purchase one of these yesterday! It will be cherished! ^^



















Now for the console box and contents of the box! ^^










The lid faceplate comes detached from the console when it's packaged. Unfortunately the console doesn't come with plain faceplates like I had hoped for either.




Faceplate installed! ^^

I haven't actually used the console and if I'm honest I don't think I will be using this one now. >.< Can see the White getting incredibly grubby, so I think I migt still look at importing a black one. Lol The faceplates are glossy, but the borders and inside of the console are Matt and in my experience with the Matt White DSi, it doesn't take long before they tarnish, especially with how much I play my DS and the fact that it goes everywhere with me. Lol

That's a gorgeous piece bud! I love how they plastered the "Ambassador Edition" on it and the inside boxes, very nice! Definitely a fantastic item, thanks for sharing!

Yeah, fair enough. You don't wanna turn it on just once though to check out the enhancements?

You have more resolve than I would in your position

i hope something like this comes to the US as well..and we all know if it does..it will be NYC store exclusive.

lol I fired it up earlier with my Zelda OoT demo cart in it and the improved 3D screen is exactly that. It's worlds better than the original 3DS screen. The "sweet spot" for the 3D viewing on the previous console has gone. It has such a wide 3D viewing angle. You can even see it altering itself if you turn the console away from you and quickly turn it back. XD I would most likely use the 3D more on this model if not all the time because of this. The 3D felt like a gimmick for me on the old model as I'd use it once one new games I buy and then the 3D would stay off as it feels like a hassle to make sure the console is in the precise spot. I haven't been able to try the extra thumb stick as I don't have any cartridge games that would support it anyway. I personally don't like the feel of it as it is... It may feel better when being used for a game, but I don't know. >.<

Given NoA's track record, I can't see it reaching US shores and if it did, as you said, most likely a NYC Exclusive.

Yeah, I was happy to see that the inner console box was a properly branded "Ambassador Edition" box and not just a standard white console with the faceplates as separate items inside the bundle box.

Thanks for the response

Makes me excited to get one of these New 3DS's, probably the XL.

If they ever come to the US.
