3. Scroll down and select "Your Downloads" to view a list of transactions.

  • The NES game will be listed here once it is available to download.
4. Tap "Redownload", then "Download".
  • The game will now be downloaded to the SD Card.

    I was just wondering if there were choices or if the 10 I get are just these 10. Either way most of these look like solid games that I could stand to play again :)
