At long last, the Super Nintendo Entertainment System (also known as the SNES, the Super NES, or the Super Nintendo) is getting some handheld love. Yes, at the most recent Nintendo Direct, Nintendo made the announcement that SNES games will be making their way to the virtual console of the New Nintendo 3DS, some of them being released that very day. They’re even bringing EarthBound (and in Europe already have). Exciting, no?

So, here at Gamnesia, we’ve decided to drop a full break down of every single SNES game coming to New Nintendo 3DS across every region, along with their anticipated release dates.

And without further ado, here we go!

No matter what though, there’s quite a bit to look forward to. Which SNES games are you most looking forward to playing on your New Nintendo 3DS?
