Zelda: A Link to the Past, Super Metroid, and Donkey Kong Country 2 are heading to the North American New 3DS Virtual Console tomorrow. Trailers for all three games are below.

Brain Age: Train Your Brain in Minutes a Day! is due out tomorrow on the Wii U eShop as the newest Virtual Console download. It’ll set you back $6.99.

Here’s an overview of the title:

Brain Age: Train Your Brain in Minutes a Day is a fun, rewarding form of entertainment everyone can enjoy, as it helps players flex their mental muscles. Brain Age is inspired by the research of Dr. Ryuta Kawashima, a prominent Japanese neuroscientist. His studies evaluated the impact of performing certain reading and mathematic exercises to help stimulate the brain.

Brain Age presents quick mental activities that help keep your mind in shape. Activities include quickly solving simple math problems, counting people going in and out of a house simultaneously, drawing pictures on the Touch Screen, reading classic literature out loud, sudoku and more!

There are other Virtual Console releases tomorrow, but they’ll be on New 3DS. Donkey Kong Country 2, Super Metroid, and Zelda: A Link to the Past are all slated for the handheld tomorrow.
