Nintendo’s letting us play some of the most revered and iconic games on new, handheld hardware. Beginning today, select SNES classics are available to download on the New 3DS.

The first batch of titles is made up of Super Mario World, Pilotwings, and F-Zero. On March 24, Mario Kart, EarthBound, and Donkey Kong Country are added to the list. The last of the announced games are The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past, Super Metroid, and Donkey Kong Country 2, and they’re coming on April 14.

These ports are delivered in their original resolution and appearance. There’s no word on the price of each game or when Nintendo plans to add more SNES titles on the eShop.
