It’s a solid Nintendo Download this week

The Metal Gear Solid Snake Eater 3D (wow that’s a long title) demo headlines this week’s selection of downloadable goodies on the eShop. The first ‘official’ NES title also bows in with Super Mario Bros.

I say ‘official’ because the Ambassador Program already saw the release of a bunch of NES classics. But while those games were only for a select group of early adopters, this reissue of the Bros. first appearance is for all to enjoy… for the hundredth time.

  • The MGS demo had awful controls and some graphical issues. If the retail game is like this, then you can count me out. I'm more interested in Rhythm Thief anyway.
