In this video, I will show you how I received all of the Ambassador Programme games in 2016 without doing anything illegal and that it is possible to be done even if 3DS was connected on eShop after August 2011.
That was exactly my case.
I bought my Nintendo 3DS back on 7th July 2011, but I connected it after August 2011 on eShop the Ambassador Programme games didn't appear for me.
Some years passed but I simply couldn't forget about this and I've decided to finally claim what I rightfully deserve.
This is how I did it and this is how you can do it as well if you meet the criteria:
- You need to have proof of purchasing your Nintendo 3DS before the price drop in August 2011.
- You need your Nintendo 3DS serial number, Club Nintendo username, and Club Nintendo email.
Nintendo 3DS serial number can be found on the back of the console.
- Contact Nintendo either by phone or email.
I personally recommend email because phoning them costs money.
If you are from the USA or have imported the American Nintendo 3DS, contact them on this email:
nintendo@noa.nintendo.com
If you are from Europe or have imported the European Nintendo 3DS, there are many countries to choose from and you don't need to choose a country where you live.
For example, Nintendo UK will NOT help you.
I tried contacting them and they were very rude to me.
I contacted Nintendo Russia and I suggest others to contact them as well.
They also speak English fine so there won't be any language barriers.
Here is their email:
support@nintendo.ru
If you are from Japan or have imported the Japanese Nintendo 3DS contact them on their official website:
https://www.nintendo.co.jp
You should explain to Nintendo in your message that you bought Nintendo 3DS before August 2011 but that you didn't manage to connect on the internet in time.
Make sure to include in the email your Nintendo 3DS serial number, Club Nintendo username, and Club Nintendo email.
You shouldn't forget to include as an attachment a picture with the proof of purchasing your Nintendo 3DS before the price drop.
If you don't do it, they will ask you for it in their response so make sure that you at least have it prepared.
After you successfully convince them, they will remotely activate Ambassador Programme status on your Nintendo 3DS based on your console's serial number.
Once it's activated, you can go on eShop and download your Ambassador Programme certificate and the games.

Unboxing of Crash & Spyro Micro Blocks Figurines that were given as a pre-order bonus at Gamestop to those who pre-ordered Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy & Spyro Reignited Trilogy.
Living outside of the USA, I had to buy it by other means but thankfully I found a good deal for both figurines on eBay.
