Donkey Kong, Kirby’s Adventure, Super Metroid, and Yoshi will all be discounted by $0.30 for a limited time. NES games will cost five dollars, while SNES games will cost eight.

The Virtual Console will also be getting a several new upgrades very soon. Not only will you be able to play your VC games remotely on the gamepad, you’ll also be able to take advantage of save state functionality, Miiverse support, customizable controls, and more.
