Today's the first day a the rest a me life; today's the day I finally start playing Zelda II: The Adventure a Link. Jeff argues it be better than The Legend a Zelda: Majora's Mask, 'n since I haven't played Zelda II yet, I can't really argue against that point.

Soon, that be going t' all change.

Nintendo made everything live for the NES part a the 3DS Ambassador program today, making 10 old school games, some a 'em genuine classics, available for free. Another set a Game Boy Advance games will arrive later on this year.

Naturally, downloading them be a vast pain. Don't believe me? Here's a step-by-step process, taken from me own 3DS.

Tap that eShop button. ye know ye want t'.Now, click the Menu button. Why? that be a good question. Let's find out.ye're not missing anything: there's no Ambassador button. Instead, click on Settings / Other. Because.yer downloads? What? Just do it. Follow me into this digital Nintendo rabbit hold, mateys.This be taken after I'd downloaded everything. Normally, there's a download button. Click away! 'n no, ye're not crazy, there's no way t' queue multiple downloads. ye have t' repeat this process over 'n over 'n over again.Voila! Play yer games! Without proper Virtual Console save functionality! Still, free. Games. Free games.

Sigh. But, hey, at least I have something t' do with me 3DS.
