Two new games every week

If you live in North America and you're fed up of getting the brown end of the 3DS Virtual Console stick, there's very good news on the way.

From 5th July to 1st August, Nintendo will release two 3DS Virtual Console games in the eShop every week. That covers four Nintendo Downloads — 1st August is a Wednesday — so expect eight titles, including long-awaited games like Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3, Kirby's Pinball Land and The Legend of Zelda on the way. Here are the dates we know so far:

The Legend of Zelda (NES) — 5th July.
The Sword of Hope II (Game Boy) — 12th July.
Kirby's Pinball Land (Game Boy) — 12th July.
Tumble Pop (Game Boy) — 19th July.
Kid Icarus: Of Myths and Monsters (Game Boy) — 19th July.
Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3 — 26th July.
Sonic Blast
Sonic Labyrinth

Also, from Friday 22nd June to Sunday 24th June you'll be able to get Super Mario Land for $2.99, the first time Nintendo's offered such a sale in the 3DS eShop.
