It's time to shift those Wiimotes into high gear: Mario Kart 64 is now available to download for the Nintendo Wii's Virtual Console. Featuring the tense racing action of yesteryear for up to four players, Mario Kart 64 is yours to play for 1000 Wii Points.
Shell-shooting fun for the whole family!
Using the Wii's Wii Shop Channel, gamers are able to download retro games to the Wii's Virtual Console. Once selected these games are saved to the Wii internal flash memory and added to the console's Wii Channel Menu allowing them to be easily accessed at any time. Wii owners can download Virtual Console games using Wii Points. Wii Points can either be purchased online via the Wii Shop Channel using a credit card or users can purchase Wii Points by buying a Wii Points card in retail stores. These points can then be redeemed against Virtual Console games via the Wii Shop Channel.
This Friday will also see the release of Soldier Blade from Turbografx (PC Engine), which will join over 40 classic titles already available for the Virtual Console. Since its launch, 1.5 million games have been downloaded worldwide from the service.
