3DS Virtual Console Game Reviews
| The Legend of Zelda by Carl B. | 84 | |
|---|---|---|
 On February 21, 1986, Nintendo released what would turn out to be the first ever million seller on NES; this title was the starting point for one of the greatest franchises in all of gaming: The Legend of Zelda. Inspired by Shigeru Miyamoto's explorations of the hillsides in Sonobe, Japan, The Legend of Zelda blew away gamers when it released on Nintendo's 8-bit system. It features an open world to explore, nine challenging dungeons, and many secrets to uncover. After 25 years, how does the original classic hold up?

| Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins by Carl B. | 80 | |
|---|---|---|
 Following the commercial success of Super Mario Land in 1989, Nintendo and director Hiroji Kiyotake returned in 1992 with a sequel to Mario's first handheld adventure, titled Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins. Super Mario Land 2 was a much larger and expansive game than its predecessor, as evidenced by its file size that was eight times larger than the first Super Mario Land. Nintendo added the classic Gameboy adventure to the Nintendo 3DS eShop for $3.99, but does Super Mario Land 2 hold up well over 19 years?

| Super Mario Bros. by Austin D. | 75 | |
|---|---|---|
 Super Mario Bros was released on September 13, 1985 and is nearing 26 years old. It was designed by both Shigeru Miyamoto and Takashi Tezuka for the Nintendo Entertainment System. It features many levels but is very shallow story-wise. Being the first game in the best-selling franchise ever, does it stand up after nearly 26 years?

| Super Mario Land by Carl B. | 66 | |
|---|---|---|
 Originally released on the Gameboy in 1989, Super Mario Land is the strangest Mario title to date -- even more so than Super Mario Bros. 2. Nintendo re-released this classic on the 3DS eShop on June 6, 2011, but does Mario's zaniest adventure stand the test of time and hold up to its $3.99 price tag?

| Kirby's Dream Land by Carl B. | 60 | |
|---|---|---|
 On Auguest 3, 1992, Nintendo and developer HAL Laboratory released the very first Kirby title on Gameboy: Kirby's Dream Land. This simple platformer stars a grey puff ball named Kirby -- he didn't turn pink until later games in the series -- as he tries to return the food of Dream Land from the clutches of King Dedede. Nintendo re-released Kirby's Dream Land on the Nintendo 3DS eShop on June 30, 2011. Does Kirby's first ever adventure hold up to the more modern iterations?
