Can’t wait to get your hands onMetroid? Are you aching to playIce Climbersfor some perverse reason? Well, you don’t have to wait until tomorrow to get your grubby paws on Nintendo’s free “Ambassador” titles. The ten Virtual Console games are ready to download now!

They’re not officially on the store yet, but you can “redownload” them by going to the 3DS eShop, clicking on the Menu in the top-left corner, hitting “Settings,” going to the “Your Downloads” section and scrolling down. They’re all there and can be downloaded easily. I just checked them out, and they seem to work just fine.
