As a token of appreciation to early 3DS adopters, Nintendo announced last month that it would gift rewards in the form of free NES and Game Boy Advance titles. Originally slated to go live on September 1, the first batch of rewards are now up for download a day early, at least in North America.

Those in the 3DS Ambassador program can now download NES classics Metroid, Wrecking Crew, NES Open Tournament Gold, Zelda II, Yoshi, Super Mario Bros, Donkey Kong Jr, Balloon Fight, Ice Climber and The Legend of Zelda. To access the goods, simply log on the eShop and navigate to settings. The 10 titles are available under My Downloads.
