Nintendo's celebration of the Famicom's 30th birthday – the Wii U Virtual Console Trial Campaign – kicked off last week with the release of Balloon Fight (http://www.joystiq.com/2013/01/23/classic-games-available-for-30-cents-on-wii-u-eshop-balloon-fig/)on the Wii U eShop. Each month, Nintendo will release a classic game at a special $.30 price, for 30 days until the next eligible game debuts. Today, Nintendo released the schedule for the discount promotion:

April 17: Kirby's Adventure (NES)
May 15: Super Metroid (SNES)
