For those that are a part of the 3DS Ambassador program, (people who purchased a 3DS and went into the eShop before August 11th) Nintendo has announced the list of the 10 available NES games that you will be able to download. One of these is none other than Metroid. The 10 games are:

• Super Mario Bros.
• Donkey Kong Jr.
• Balloon Fight
• Ice Climber
• The Legend of Zelda
• Wrecking Crew
• NES Open Tournament Golf
• Yoshi
• Metroid
• Zelda II: The Adventure of Link

The 3DS Ambassador Program starts Thursday, September 1st!

If you're unsure you're a part of the program and want to be absolutely certain, Nintendo has a nifty little checker where you can enter your serial number and see for yourself.

Remember that Metroid Fusion will also be released later in the year as a part of this Ambassador Program, so we will be sure to update you as soon as it becomes available!

UPDATE: (8/31)

The NES games were released early in North America (and likely other regions), so check the Nintendo eShop to get your free games. Nintendo download instructions.
