Digital Foundry has taken a closer look at the Super NES Classic Edition to find out what’s powering the hardware.

You may not be surprised to hear this, but Nintendo has repurposed the exact same technology from the NES Classic. Digital Foundry says it’s “almost a complete match for last year’s model.”

The fact that Nintendo is using last year’s technology isn’t entirely a bad thing. For one, the SNES Classic Edition didn’t really need any major boosts or changes. Digital Foundry also points out that it will be easier for the NES Classic Edition to be brought back next year.

The Wii U Virtual Console keeps going strong thanks to Konami. Tomorrow, Double Dungeons will be hitting the eShop in North America.

Nintendo’s website contains the following overview:

Defeat monsters in each dungeon to gain experience while searching for the “key” that opens the door to the room with the boss. Buy equipment at the shop, team up with characters, and defeat the boss to clear a scenario. Conquer all 21 scenarios from levels 1 through 5 to obtain passwords. Obtain all of them to make your way to the final scenario! Two players can play at the same time, which makes this game truly stand out from the rest.

Double Dungeons will be priced at $5.99.

Although Nintendo’s website listed it for release this week, Earth Atlantis won’t actually be on the Switch eShop tomorrow. Publisher Headup Games instead says that it will be arriving “very soon.”

Despite that, the Switch eShop is still on track to have 18 new games tomorrow. That’s because we found out earlier today that Burning Fight is this week’s NeoGeo game on Switch.

Thanks to Daan for the tip.

Two new characters have joined Mighty Gunvolt Burst. Call from Mighty No. 9 as well as Joule from Azure Striker Gunvolt are now being distributed in Japan. Each piece of DLC is priced at 200 yen.

Both characters should be going up in North America and Europe tomorrow as well. We’re unable to check the 3DS eShop, but we assume Call and Joule are also available in that version.
