Just a reminder that those of you who already own a 3DS, or just bought one on the cheap before the price-drop, you need to register for the Ambassador Program by 11:59pm in order to get your free 20 games from Nintendo. In order to do this, just perform a system update or visit the eShop. All 20 games will be delivered to your 3DS system as they are released, with all in your system by the end of the year.

Target’s the next retailer to drop the price of 3DS earlier than Nintendo plans, according to a report on Joystiq. A employee of the box store told the site: “There is a message board out to every store that the price changes are active today. Price changes must be activated by corporate.” This is more than likely in response to Walmart doing the exact same thing yesterday. The Nintendo sanctioned 3DS drop is slated for August 12, and early adopters are automatically part of the Ambassador’s Program, allowing for the download of 20 free games provided they register through the eShop before August 11. So, if you plans on getting one on the cheap and claim to be an early adopter, you will need to do it by the end of today. The same thing is going on the UK too, apparently.

According to a post over on CheapAssGamer, a source as told the site Walmart plans to drop the price of 3DS on August 9, which is three days before the official price drop goes into effect. Providing the information is true, it could presumably allow purchasers to download the 20 free downloadable games as part of the Ambassador’s Program because they would be purchasing the handhled before the price drop is official on August 11.
