I work til 8 pm on Thursday and I'm not checking until after I get home and eat, so like 9 pm.

Didn't they give a specific time for the e-shop update and they totally missed it?

And by snes legends of zelda, they mean the new parts of the GBA port of the game that only 1% of the owners used.

There are an inordinate number of little kids who would orgasm early in life over 20 free games, but are too young (and have parents too ignorant) to know about it...

I was really expecting them to announce the rest of the games today. I mean, they're [supposedly] going to be downloadable in three days, right?

Jesus.

So we are pretty sure that SMB 3 will be one of the NES downloads? Cause if not heads will fall down!
P.S.: It's not like I have time to play my 3DS with all that stupid school and work, anyway. :( At least I am getting 4 streetpasses on average daily!

Super Mario Bros. 3 hasn't been confirmed, only rumored...unless there's a recent confirmation. :p

They used a screenshot in one of their official press releases. It just makes too much sense to have it. I haven't played it in such a long time! There is only one thing better than having a perfect conversion of SMB 3 in your pocket, having a perfect Super Metroid conversion in your pocket!

Wrecking Crew
NES Open Tournament Golf
Yoshi
Metroid

Decent list of games. Never finished Metroid, or the original Zelda. Yoshi should be awesome! Now we wait for the GBA list.

I'm not really looking forward to the NES games...

It's the GBA games that I never really played much of...like Wario Ware...M v DK...shit like that.

I have at least 5 versions of Zelda 1/2 already.

That's a fine list. Surprised that they're not including Kid Icarus though. I would've thought that they'd be chomping at the bit to take advantage of this advertising opportunity!

Meh. Not so enthused about the list. Zelda fans get two entries? Kirby, Kid Icarus, Punch Out, Dr. Mario, Ice Hockey, or Pinball would've been nice.

Dr Mario would've pissed off the people who bought the DSi Ware or the GB VC versions (currently Japan only).

Kirby or Kid Icarus would've been good replacements for Zelda 2 if they didn't want too much Zelda representation. But considering that they're celebrating Zelda's 25th anniversary, you can't have too much Zelda here!

It's a pretty good list if it's for all regions. I was hoping for one or two games out of left field, but they are all pretty solid.

I don't know why, but I'm really excited about Wrecking Crew.

Not being a Zelda fan, it's funny because I was thinking about what I'd rather have. So I took a look through my NES cart collection. It's kinda amazing, but I was surprised at how much I actually cared about on that system was third party. The big first party stuff for me were the three SMB games, and I figured we'd only get one of them.

Pretty meh list out side of SMB and the two zeldas. No kirby?

Honestly though i'm having trouble thinking about what exactly there is on NES that's first party..

I'd be happy with that list for sure. I still haven't finished Zelda or Zelda II (yes, I'm a terrible person) but I know I could finish them on the go!

great list otherwise but who cares about 25 year old sports games?

I care about Ice Hockey. :(

But yeah, no one gives a rats ass about NES Open Tournament Golf. That's pure filler on Nintendo's part, and a pretty shitty "reward" for being an early adopter.

Hey, I care about it. I've never played it before so I'm all for its inclusion!

Very excited for that list, especially the play Zelda II. Boo at those complaining at getting a fairly diverse list of free games. I think it will be fun and caters to lots of different tastes.

Mario/Zelda/Metroid is great, but there are still some obvious missed opportunities. The absence of Kirby and Kid Icarus in particular is a bit conspicuous. Also, anytime I see Donkey Kong and Donkey Kong Jr. packaged separately instead of together as Donkey Kong Classics I'm mildly annoyed. It was lame on GBA and VC and it's lame here as well, in spite of being "free".

Good list, though I was secretly hoping for Star Tropics, SMB2 and Kirby.

I like golf games, though NES Open Tournament is no Mario Golf. Nintendo World Cup by Technos would've been a better sports choice. Wrecking Crew I've never really enjoyed.

Wow.
We're getting actual good NES games.
Nintendo must be really compensational.
Zelda 2, Metroid, Zelda, ICe Climbers? Hell yes.

Now they also have an excuse for never putting them in the 3DS Animal Crossing too.

As for the Mario games, i'm willing to bet we'll see some of their GBA ports on the GBA list, which is fine by me, because those are great games.
