While Nintendo has yet to announce the full list of games some details about their features has been announced.

Anyone who logged into the Nintendo 3DS eShop before today's price drop will be treated to twenty free games, ten Game Boy Advance and ten NES titles, in the coming months as a thank you from Nintendo for purchasing the console early. While Nintendo is still yet to announce a full list of games some details about their features has now been released.

The NES titles, due to be offered from September 1st, will include an electronic manual explaining the game's controls initially but when the titles are made public at a later date a full manual will be included. Interestingly when discussing the Game Boy Advance games the official site states "manuals will be available", although it is not clear how.
