Report: Mario Kart, Pilotwings and Smash Bros. coming to Virtual Console by year’s end

November 21st, 2009 at 05:30pm Under Wii / Nintendo

Gamespot is reporting that Nintendo revealed to them that a few oft-requested classic titles will be added to the Virtual Console within the coming weeks. According to the report, the festivities will kick off this coming Monday, when Super Mario Kart (which has been available in Japan for approximately forever) will be added to the storefront for the standard price of 800 Wii Points ($8).

Later in the holiday season, Nintendo will also reportedly drop the original Pilotwings onto the platform, then shortly after that, will also toss Super Smash Bros. into the mix. No prices have been announced for these two titles, but according to the Gamespot article, both will be released by the end of the year. That’s just great. It’s not like we’re already drowning in huge, time-draining blockbusters. Now we’ve got to start perfecting our drifting and shell-flinging once again. We appreciate the gesture, Nintendo — but your timing is rotten.

VC Friday: Super Virtual Smash Bros.

June 12th, 2009 at 12:30pm Under Wii / Nintendo

Today’s Virtual Console release is something really special — something that only happens on the Virtual Console a couple of times a year: a Nintendo 64 game. And what a Nintendo 64 game! Despite having a day or two to change its mind after announcing, Nintendo of Europe has actually put Super Smash Bros. on the Virtual Console. Now you can play all three Super Smash Bros. games on the same system!

Joining it is Cocoto Platform Jumper, which isa middling platformer from last-gen. And on DSiWare, Sudoku 150! for Challengers, a collection of sudoku puzzles for 500 DSi Points. Also, Asphalt 4: Elite Racing, whose iPhone sequel was announced at Apple’s WWDC event, before this game launched. Awesome.
