Tomorrow’s North American Virtual Console titles are now confirmed. On Wii U, we’ll be getting Metroid Prime: Hunters. Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie’s Double Trouble is due out for New 3DS.

Here’s an overview of Metroid Prime: Hunters:

A ferocious race, now extinct, has left behind relics of its once-powerful warrior culture. Now six other fierce bounty hunters from across the galaxy will challenge Samus in a race to claim these relics in hopes of harnessing their power for themselves.

And Donkey Kong Country 3:

Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong have gone missing! As Dixie Kong checks in with the rest of the family, she gets stuck with babysitting duties! But that won’t stop her from going on her next adventure!

Play as Dixie Kong or Kiddy Kong solo, against a friend, or with a friend! Take advantage of each of their unique abilities as they throw each other into action in over 40 levels. There are plenty of collectibles—including Bear Coins, which grant access to the services of the Brothers Bear, and Banana Birds, which Wrinkly Kong has a deep fondness for. You can also call on Funky Kong to build some wild vehicles for you to try to get to places that seem far out of reach. Not to mention there are animal friends to fight at your side! The final showdown takes place in a cliff-top laboratory at the End of the World. Things could get seriously ugly, so you’d better be ready!

Pricing for Metroid Prime: Hunters is set at $9.99. Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie’s Double Trouble will set you back $7.99.
