The original Shantae title from WayForward was announced for release on the 3DS via the Virtual Console a while ago, and we’ve known that it was set for release around the end of June or early July. Luckily, the official confirmation has arrived: it’s coming on June 20th. The third game in the series is being developed for the 3DS at the moment, so this would be a good place to begin in the mean time.

Eiji Aonuma has confirmed that both The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons and Oracle of Ages are coming to the 3DS via the Virtual Console. They’ll arrive in Japan next week, but won’t hit North America for “a little while longer”. At least they’re on their way though.
