Taking it back to the old skool

Nintendo reveals the ten free NES games for Ambassadors, including The Legend of Zelda, Super Mario Bros.

When Nintendo revealed that its 3DS console would be getting a price drop, it knew that some existing owners wouldn't exactly be ecstatic at the news.

As a means of dousing the flames of contempt, the company announced that all of those folk who picked up a 3DS before the price cut would be getting free games. 20 of them, to be exact.

On September 1st - this Thursday! - those early adopters will receive ten free NES games to download from the eShop, and Nintendo has finally revealed what those ten games will be, as reported by Andriasang.

Enough chatter - here are the ten titles you'll be retroing your way through this weekend and beyond:

Super Mario Bros.
Donkey Kong Jr.
Balloon Fight
Ice Climber
The Legend of Zelda
Wrecking Crew
Mario Open Golf
Yoshi's Egg
Metroid
Zelda: Adventures of Link
