0th April 2012 – Return to the mystical world of Hyrule in the classic title, The Legend of Zelda™, on Virtual Console for Nintendo 3DS. First released in 1986, The Legend of Zelda™ introduced innovative ideas that are still at the forefront of the series more than 25 years later. This adventure is as action-packed as they get, featuring puzzling dungeons to explore and a myriad of secrets to discover.

For a classic Sega Mega Drive fighting game, you won’t need to look much further than Super Street Fighter II: The New Challengers™, on Virtual Console for Wii . Taking you back to the golden age of arcade-style head-to-head fighting, you can battle in elimination tournaments, local fights and against other challengers in heated online battles, the first time a Virtual Console title on Wii supports online multiplayer.

Also, grab your trainers and get stuck into the skill-based action running game I Must Run! or blast through over 1,000 levels in the puzzling Crystal Caverns of Amon-Ra, both available on your Nintendo DS and Nintendo 3DS.

Check out all the latest offerings which are available for download this Thursday via Nintendo eShop, Nintendo DSi Shop and the Wii Shop Channel below.
