SNES Games Coming to New 3DS Virtual Console

The Virtual Console on the New 3DS and New 3DS XL is about to get a lot more super, with classic Super Nintendo Entertainment System games rolling out over the next few weeks.

Super Mario World and Earthbound are available now, with titles like F-Zero, The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past, Super Metroid, Donkey Kong Country, and more coming in later weeks. Those who fancy nostalgia can even play the titles in their original resolution.

I heard ther was a rumor that third parties like Capcom, Konami are getting in on the action too!

I'd love to see Super Castlevania IV added to the VC, too. :/

Has Anyone Really Been Far Even as Decided to Use Even Go Want to do Look More Like?

Would love these if they had done a few tweaks to them. For example, being able to save anytime (rather than having to get to a Funky's) in the DKC games would win me over and I'd buy all three.

Have they got save states? I was sort of meaning being able to save it after each level or something. Save states is probably a better alternative though, especially for the harder levels DKC2 gets way too hard).

They do just like on Wii U, or with other 3DS VC games. You can bet that they're not gonna reprogram a particular save feature in every game they re-release when you can simply develop your emulator to include a save and restore function like they did, which saves tremendous amount of work hours and money to do... especially since reprogramming an old ROM supposes that your workforce knows how to program for the original hardware, which in the case of SNES might not be easy to come by at Nintendo HQ these days.

EDIT: The save and restore feature is in the video in the article Marzipan Smilie . Look at 1:04.
