"Original Super Nintendo kart racer arrives this Monday; Pilotwings SNES and Super Smash Bros. N64 to follow this holiday season.

Since the day the Wii launched, Nintendo's Virtual Console library of games has offered some of the company's all-time classics in downloadable form. Several of the service's more notable omissions will be addressed this holiday season, as Nintendo told GameSpot a trio of fondly remembered titles will soon arrive on the Wii Shop Channel.

The original Super Mario Kart will give gamers a chance to re-examine the series' roots. Starting this Monday, the original Super Nintendo version of Super Mario Kart will be available as a Virtual Console title. Originally released in 1992, Super Mario Kart was the first installment in the long-running series, which has recently seen hits in the form of Mario Kart DS and Mario Kart Wii. When it launches, Super Mario Kart will sell for 800 Wii points ($8).

Trailing behind Mario Kart sometime this holiday season will be two more series starters. The 1991 SNES launch title Pilotwings may have only spawned a single sequel, but it proved a capable showpiece for the system's "Mode-7" scaling and rotating graphics capabilities.

Also set for launch by year's end is Super Smash Bros. for the Nintendo 64. A rare four-player fighting game at the time of its 1999 release, Super Smash Bros. included characters from many of the hardware maker's biggest series, and spawned sequels for the GameCube and Wii.

Pricing on both Super Smash Bros. and Pilotwings has yet to be announced."

Awesome! I can't wait for SMK and SSB! How is pilotwings though, I've only heard about good things from it but I'm still not sure about it. I don't really know much about the game.

800 points well spent, then. I can't wait to buy it. It's got the gold coins on the track (which Crash Team Racing ripped off!) that has been missing from the Mario Kart games of today. It's also got the Feather!! What I wouldn't give to have one of those in Mario Kart Wii.



It's about time :)



I never played the original Mario Kart, and now I can. This and Bit. Trip VOID on the same day. So freaking awesome!

Never played SSB either. But now I will finally be able too. ^_^



YES!!! My Mario Kart collection will now be complete!!!!

SO EXCITED!!! :D

I still have Pilotwings (at my mom's house). Those helicopter missions were impossible! It was pretty amazing back in 1991 and it really felt like you were flying. It's one of those games that I'm going to avoid playing so that I can keep my fond memories intact.



about time, very glad super smash bros 64 and mario kart snes are coming. NOW BRING MARIO PARTY OVER :)



Great! I want to play Super Mario Kart again!

Uhhg this sucks for me, I'll have to wait til christmas till I can buy another card since my gaming budget is really tight right now; this is due to paying my wii repair. Sigh, at least it will get a new warrenty.
