3DS owners, today’s eShop update includes–along with Mario’s Picross and three DSiware titles–a welcome message to all its freshly-inducted Ambassadors. (Toadsworth isn’t actually the program mascot, but he should be: He’s classy, he’s good with PR, and he needs the work.)

“You are a Nintendo 3DS Ambassador!” proclaims the message, which can be found under the “News” tab. It goes on to remind you of the program’s benefits:

Starting September 1st, Ambassadors can download 10 free NES VC games, including Super Mario Bros., Donkey Kong Jr., Balloon Flight, Ice Climber, and The Legend of Zelda.

10 free GBA games will be available to Ambassadors by the end of 2011. These include Yoshi’s Island, Mario Kart Super Circuit, Metroid Fusion, Warioware, Inc., and Mario Vs. Donkey Kong. (more…)

The free, then un-free Wii Internet Channel is now free again, reports GameIndustry.biz. Those of you who didn’t download in time and were forced to pay the 500 Wii Point to get this oft-unused Wii Channel will have the option of downloading a free NES Virtual Console game come October. That is all.
