Super Mario World!

TheWii U updateis finally here, and with it, the Virtual Console has launched today in North America. Whilethe choices arefarfrom impressive, mostly consisting ofpromotional $0.30 gamesthat were already offered, I’m just glad the Virtual Console is finally here, and hopefully Nintendo won’t stagger releases as much as they have in the past.

Today, you can pick upSuper Mario World($7.99 – yeesh),Ice Climber($4.99),Kirby’s Adventure($0.30 temporarily, $4.99 regularly),Donkey Kong Jr.($4.99),Balloon Fight($4.99),Excitebike($4.99),Punch Out!!($4.99), andF-Zero($7.99). If you already own an NES game, you can pay $1 to upgrade to the Wii U version, or pay $1.50 for SNES games. You’ll net customizable controls, remote play, restore points (save states), and Miiverse support for your upgrade.

As a recap, that’s only the NES and SNES available right now. I’ve already had my fill with the anniversary games, so I don’t think I’ll quadruple dip onSuper Mario Worldjust yet.
