You can still register for the Nintendo 3DS Ambassador Programme, but in order to do so you will need to EITHER:I had done step a, and entered my serial number on the site like they ask, and that all returns successful and says I should have the games if I go to downloaded software. So I don't think there's a problem with being registered in the program. The problem is that once I actually go there on my console, there's nothing in downloaded software.
a) Have created a Friend Code and connected to the Internet with your Nintendo 3DS system prior to August 12th
OR
b) Have retained your original receipt or proof of purchase for your Nintendo 3DS system
