In a recent Nintendo Direct press conference, Nintendo announced a summer promotion for 3DS owners that should make retro fans very happy. Dubbed the "Summer of 8-bit," the promotion will see Nintendo releasing retro Virtual Console titles on the 3DS eShop for each week in July. Here is the list of games and dates they've put out so far:
The Legend of Zelda (NES) - July 5
Kirby's Pinball Land (Game Boy) - July 12
The Sword of Hope II (Game Boy) - July 12
Kid Icarus: Of Myths and Monsters (Game Boy) - July 19
Tumblepop (Game Boy) - July 19
Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3 (Game Boy) - July 19
Sonic Blast (GameGear) - date TBA
Sonic Labyrinth (GameGear) - date TBA
Not too shabby of a list, and it's great to see not only NES games, but GameBoy and SEGA GameGear games as well on the list. For me personally, I'll be picking up Kid Icarus: Of Myths and Monsters, Wario Land and both Sonic GameGear games.
Nintendo also released a trailer for the promotion, which you can check out below.
