Have a Nintendo 3DS? Love classic games with Zelda, Mario, Donkey Kong, Metroid, Pokemon? Well, stop what you are doing and go to this page, then click the “Filter Games” button towards the top of the page.
My three immediate favorites are Super Mario World, The Legend of Zelda, and Metroid. $4.99 each. All running on the 3DS using Virtual Console. Very cool.
The Wii U has a similar feature. My kid begged me for weeks to buy him the original Legend of Zelda.
Finally I punished him for the pestering by buying it.
Don’t get me wrong, it’s a great game. But for an eight year old used to modern games that guide you along? Horrible choice. 🙂
Virtual Console is nothing new for the 3DS. The new part announced yesterday is adding SNES games to the Virtual Console, and only for the NEW 3DS XL.
