If you’ve been following the lovely Nintendo hoopla you’ve been in one of three categories: disgruntled without your 3DS, excited for your free games (with a slight touch of sour grapes towards the additional price you paid.), or a bit sad that you’ll have to pay for the dandy NES releases over the next little while. I find myself in the second category and the bitter feeling of early adopter tax wore off for me after 6 or so minutes. I’ve checked the eShop everyday hoping that those titles would be here even though my senses told me it wouldn’t be til after the first, and to my amazement! They were waiting for me this morning!!! Here is how you download them as long as you’re registered as an ambassador, also be sure to grab your ambassador token so that they may be downloaded again for free through the eShop.
- Step 1: Open the eShop Channel
- Step 2: Go all the way left to settings/other
- Step 3: Select your downloads
- Step 4: Scroll down to view the titles listed, and simply select Redownload on your NES games, and voila!! You’re set!
Hopefully the GBA stuff will be up and ready in the coming months, but for now I’ll have to while away my hours with DK Jr., Zelda, and Metroid. Enjoy, and feel free to share your celebrations or lamentations below.
