New 3DS owners can now enjoy playing SNES games via the Virtual Console.
An upgrade to the 3DS Virtual Console was announced during today’s Nintendo Direct. Those with a New 3DS will now be able to play a bunch of classic SNES titles.
The first batch of titles, Super Mario World, F-Zero and Pilotwings, is available right now.
Donkey Kong Country, Super Mario Kart and Earthbound will be added to the collection on March 24.
Update: Because Nintendo loves to make things complicated, the European release schedule is different to the North American details quoted above. Here’s the skinny:
