How To Get Your Free 3DS Ambassador Games

Earlier this month, Nintendo announced the 3DS Ambassador program, a program meant to reward the early adopters of the handheld who paid the $250 price tag before their price drop to $169.99.  The incentive has been a bit vague and the release dates and instructions on how to attain these games has been scarce.  After a bit of digging, I found how to get them and that the first ten NES games are available as of today!  So, here is a quick guide to walk you through the steps into a nice collection in your Virtual Console.

First go into the e-Shop

Go to Settings and Other

Select Your Downloads

The games will show on the list with a download again option

You will now have access to the 10 free NES Virtual Console Games
The games being given to ambassadors so far are:
BALLOON FIGHT
DONKEY KONG JR.
ICE CLIMBERS
THE LEGEND OF ZELDA
ZELDA II: THE ADVENTURE OF LINK
METROID
NES OPEN
SUPER MARIO BROS.
WRECKING CREW
YOSHI
(Remember, to qualify, you must have purchased your 3DS before August 11th, 2011.  The second set of 10 will be GBA titles and will be available for download sometime before the end of the year.)
