3DS Ambassador NES Games Available!

It appears that in North America that the 10 free NES games for the 3DS 'Nintendo Ambassadors' are already Live on the eShop! The download is quick and painless.

The ten free NES titles that Nintendo Ambassadors have access to are: Super Mario Bros., Metroid, The Legend of Zelda, Wrecking Crew, NES Open Tournament Golf, Donkey Kong Jr., Balloon Fight, Ice Climber, Zelda II: The Adventure of Link, and Yoshi.

How to find and download your free Ambassador games:

Step 1: Connect to the eShop

Step 2: Go to the "Settings/Other" tab that is all the way on the left side of the main eShop menu. Select it and then look for "Your Downloads". The way that Nintendo Ambassadors are able to download the free 10 NES games before the general public is that the 3DS is counting the 10 games as games you have already downloaded. 

Step 3: Scroll down the list of games/applications you've already downloaded until you find the first NES game. Select "Redownload" to download the game. The NES games will take up about 33 blocks of space each. There's also an 'Ambassador Certificate' that is 147 blocks. 

Step 4: Repeat this process for each of the 10 games. The process is very quick so it's okay.

Step 5: "Unwrap" the games on your HOME menu to use them.

Going through this process also showed me that if you delete a game or application that you've downloaded by accident that you can redownload the game for free. Fantastic!
