Posted on 13 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 0 comments
Nintendo has added the Virtual Console version of The Legend of Zelda to the Japanese eShop for all 3DS owners. This means that those who aren’t part of the Ambassador program can purchase the title for 500 yen.
Additionally, the Ambassador version has received an update. The icon on the home menu has changed and it now supports save states.
This news currently applies to Japan only, but I’m sure Nintendo of America/Europe will follow up on this soon.

Renegade Kid’s Jools Watsham has provided updates on a variety of topics.
First, Watsham was asked how many long it’ll take to complete Mutant Mudds:
“First-time players will probably need about 8 hours to complete the game. Once you know what you’re doing, you’re looking at around 3 – 4 hours to complete each of the 40 levels.”
