The Legend of Zelda, Other Classics Return For Nintendo’s 8-Bit Summer On 3DS

Nintendo 3DS is about to get some nice goodies from the 8-bit era.

If there’s one thing we were wishing for Nintendo to pick up on, it was more of their classic digital releases for Wii and 3DS.  And while the Wii is slowly but surely getting a few more favorites (Double Dragon II just dropped this week for five bucks), the 3DS is getting a whole month dedicated to the classics of old.
