If you own a Nintendo 3DS and was in the eShop today you would notice that the Ambassador Program is live and active. If you purchased a 3DS before the price drop then you can head over to the eShop and download the 10 NES games that Nintendo is offering, which includes the Legend of Zelda and Adventure of Link. If you are unaware on how to access your games then we have the steps for you below:

1. Go to the Nintendo eShop.
2. Browse to “Settings / Other”(which is all the way at the end of the menu to your left).
3. Look for “Your Downloads”(which you will get once you scroll down) and click on it.
4. Since the 10 games are counted as downloaded games you can simply “Redownload” any game that you choose.

UPDATE: We have a video showing you how to download your games from the eShop right after the post jump.

I recently got an email from our e-commerce affiliate/partner, Amazon, and it is some good news. Amazon is now offering pre-orders for the Skyward Sword Bundle for the same price that Nintendo announced, $69.99, and it includes all the stuff, such as the Golden Wii Remote and the Zelda Symphony CD, in the package.

Includes The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword Game, Music CD Soundtrack and Gold Wii Remote Plus w/Triforce Symbol Accessory. The limited-edition gold controller bundle for The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword will be offered at a suggested retail price of $69.99. As an additional 25th anniversary treat for fans who purchase the game early, every copy in the initial production, whether sold by itself or as a part of the limited-edition bundle, will come with a free CD featuring select orchestral arrangements of iconic music spanning the history of the franchise which will be performed at The Legend of Zelda 25th Anniversary Symphony Concert performances in October 2011.

If you haven’t pre-ordered your Limited Edition Skyward Sword yet then you can now. If you just want the game only then you are in luck because you can also pre-order the game by itself for $49.99 and as a bonus you get the Zelda Symphony CD free of charge. So head over to Amazon to reserve your Limited Edition Skyward Sword or just the standalone Skyward Sword with the Zelda Symphony CD.

Rumor: Standalone European Skyward Sword Boxart?

We just can’t get enough of Skyward Sword can we? Well yesterday we saw how Nintendo made Skyward Sword’s Limited Edition boxart a masterpiece, the only thing that is the boxart for the Limited Edition bundle and we are left to wander what is the actual boxart for the game if you purchase the standalone game. What we have to your left is a boxart that popped up on the internet today, this boxart is “suppose” to be the European artwork for Skyward Sword. Since this hasn’t been featured on many sites I am convinced that this a rumored artwork but if this is the real boxart then I must say it is a beauty.

Apart from the boxart not surfacing on other websites, there similar boxarts to it that fans created which can lead to more speculation. Jump inside to see these fan made boxart and you decide whether this is legit or rumor.

We know so much now about Skyward Sword such as its release dates (for the United States and Europe) and price but one thing was left unclear to us and that is its rating. If you looked at the box art that was release yesterday you would see that it has “RP” as its rating, this means that the rating of the game is currently pending, but now if you look at the box package for the European region you would see that it has “12 (with an orange background) www.pegi.info Provisional“. PEGI is the rating system for Europe, just like ERSB for America, and showing that on the box brings up this observation. Regardless, the box still shows that the rating is in pending status but that non-highlighted section on the box can give us a clue to Skyward Sword’s rating. Jump inside if you really want to know how this clue can tell us the rating.

So far we are only aware of the United States and Australia and now those of you who live in the European region then you should get excited at this point for this Limited Edition bundle is headed your way as well. According to Official Nintendo Magazine you can get this bundle once you pre-order, like the rest of the world must do, before the day the game is release for their region, which is the 18th of November.

The gold Legend Of Zelda: Skyward Sword bundle is coming to the UK and Europe when the game launches in November.

Nintendo Of America announced the gold Zelda bundle yesterday and we are pleased to report that UK fans will also be able to get their hands on this special limited-edition bundle if they pre-order the game before 18 November.
