Nintendo intentionally locking content to NEW 3ds

I think it's because the Ambassador program. Nintendo gave away a decent amount of SNES titles for early 3DS adopters. They can't sell them on the 3DS because it would anger the early adpoters, but the N3DS isn't included in that deal.

Still sucks, though, I wanted to play EarthBound.

As a certified, card carrying 3DS Ambassador, I can say without a doubt that we didn't get ANY free SNES games!  They gave us a ten NES games of varying quality and 10 GBA games of mostly high quality.

I'm sure the 3DS could run SNES games with no problem. It already runs a lot of Genesis games with added 3D (and wow, those 2D games with 3D effects look great!) but what can I say? I already upgraded to a NN3DS a year ago so it doesn't really effect me.

 

*edit* on that note, I wish they'd give us more GBA games but even the ones we got don't run properly.  If you choose the console, they still keep running and will kill the battery in no time! You have to use the GBA "sleep mode" to power them down and most other 3DS tricks quit working (if I remember correctly. Been while since i played them).

I thought one of the Ambassador games was Super Metroid! What games were included?
