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.
