Nintendo has promised to reveal more details about the Nintendo NX this year. The most ideal gaming event that it can do so is the E3 2016. There have even been rumours from earlier that announcements may come during that event or sometime in summer, leading to a release to retail some months after.

A couple of Nintendo classics will be making their way to the new Nintendo 3DS console. During the newest Nintendo Direct broadcast, the company had confirmed that these titles will include “Super Metroid,” “Super Mario World” and “Earthbound.”

However, according to Wired, players will need to get the newer Nintendo 3DS to actually play the Virtual Console titles. This is not without proper perspective though, since the new Nintendo 3DS has the features that will emulate the games.

With the Nintendo 3DS features, the games will be reproduced in the original ration with an additional “perfect pixel” mode. As such, fans of these games should not expect Virtual Console releases outside of the new Nintendo 3DS.

There is one game that was leaked and rumoured to come to My Nintendo. According to My Nintendo News, “The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess” will come to the service on March 31. The source stated that the game will serve as a reward to fans who have already subscribed to the new program. For now, it’s best to take both leaked information with a grain of salt.
