 The game was released yet again in September 2011 on Virtual Console ( this time on the 3DS ) , bundled with its predecessor as part of a free giveaway of 10 original Nintendo Entertainment System games to 3DS owners who purchased the console before the price drop . It is now available to purchase on the Nintendo eShop for the 3DS and Wii U. The 3DS version is a direct port of the original NES release and , consequently , features the flashing color death scene and none of the text alterations of previous re @-@ releases . Although the game features the save option , fully resetting the software currently results in the save game being deleted , meaning that the user should not do this unless that is the desired outcome .
