Ten free NES games are now available on the eShop for early adopters of the 3DS system in Europe.

The ten classic games, which were released in the US and Japan yesterday, are identical to those available in other territories, which are the following:

1. Super Mario Bros.
2. Donkey Kong Jr.
3. Balloon Fight
4. Ice Climbers
5. The Legend of Zelda
6. Wrecking Crew
7. NES Open Tournament Golf
8. Mario & Yoshi
9. Metroid
10. Zelda 2 - The Adventure of Link

Gamers should not worry that these games will take up much of their 3DS' internal storage - the ten downloads plus the ambassador certificate take up a measly 311 blocks (38MB).

The downloads have an unconventional download method. They are not available on the Virtual Console part of the eShop, so to download you must take the following steps:

1. Open the eShop from the Nintendo 3DS menu.
2. Press Menu in the top left corner.
3. Scroll down to Settings/Other.
4. Select Titles You've Downloaded.
5. If you are eligible, the free titles should be listed on this page.
6. To download a title, select the Redownload button.
7. Enjoy your Nintendo classics!
