I haven't checked myself, but some posters over on NeoGaf have confirmed it's now live via screenshots.

Looks like it, though some members on Gaf said they had to manually search for the titles to find them.

£5.49 seems rather steep for a SNES game. I'm hoping for a good continuous line of games for it to persuade me to buy in the future.

Oh god dammit! I have to wait until tomorrow to get my fix. :(

 

Why do I have to wait an extra day? It's so unfair

Those prices do seem high for both NES and SNES games. They need to be a couple of pounds cheaper.

It should be later today for Europe, we didn't get the update until early hours of Friday morning and they did say the day after the update.
