3DS Virtual Console Games List (Europe)
A chronological list of first party Virtual Console games, published by Nintendo for the Nintendo 3DS in Europe.
Ambassador Program
Early on in the Nintendo 3DS's lifespan, Nintendo gave the console a considerable price cut due to poor sales. To apologise to early buyers of the system, Nintendo allowed "ambassadors" who bought the console prior to August 11th, 2011, to download ten free NES games and ten free Game Boy Advance games. The NES games were publicly available for purchase on the eShop, but the Game Boy Advance games remained exclusive to this program, and notably did not feature Restore Points, and would not allow the Nintendo 3DS to enter sleep mode during play.
