The games above were included as part of a sizzle reel of old-school titles at E3, hinting that they would be coming over to the 3DS. I’m not sure why it took so long to find out about this (and why Nintendo hasn’t shared a video of this as well as other 3DS trailers), but that’s besides the point!
In any case, Reggie has confirmed that the games will be brought over to the system. The thing is, they might be more than just simple ports. You may remember that Shigeru Miyamoto stated that with the Ocarina of Time remake, the developers are looking to take advantage of the 3DS’ features and 3D effect. So it’s possible that the classic games listed above may receive similar treatment.
Naturally, one of the first things you might think of when hearing about this is that Nintendo might be planning some sort of 3DS Virtual Console/3DS service. That seems likely based on the Japanese trademarks discovered several weeks ago, but we’ll have on that until Nintendo provides an official announcement.
