Nintendo has confirmed that the original Super Mario Kart (1992) will be released on the Wii Virtual Console in North America this Monday.

On top of that, they've also confirmed that the original Super Smash Bros. (1999) will be released on the VC before the year is out.

SSB on VC, huh? I guess now there is zero chance of a remixed DS version coming out.

I could still see them doing a SSB: DS eventually. Problem is would everyone be satisfied if they only used the original roster?

I REALLY HATE POKEMON! · 11-24-2009, 09:18 AM

Well, the original and a couple newbies would be most favorable. Add a stylus gimick, online play, and some other goodies and we're happy.

Correction, a GOOD online play.

Anyway, it took them long enough to give US Super Mario Kart. Seriously, it should've been released before Mario Kart 64(same thing with Starfox and its 64 counterpart). I hate it when they release later games but take forever with the start of the series. Same problem with the arcade version of Donkey Kong. It has more levels than the NES version, after all.

SMK is rather hard for me. I'm used to the better control scheme of Mario Kart 64, despite the rubberband ai...

^Well, good online play should be expected (but maybe not concerning their previous endevours).

I find both SNES and 64 versions of MK to be hard to play these days. I never e xcelled at them anyway. I much prefer DD and DS versions.

I heard they were having trouble emulating the Mode 7 graphics.

**Valigarmander** · 11-24-2009, 10:38 PM

^ Yeah, that's one of those things that's pretty difficult to emulate.

Similarly, the Super FX chip in Yoshi's Island (which is incredibly difficult to emulate) is probably why that game's taking so long to come out. But if anything, the release of SMK provides hope that one of these days YI will be released as well.

Metal Mario · 11-24-2009, 11:49 PM

^Well, at least that answers that question. I was wondering where the hell Yoshi's Island was.

Dizzy · 11-24-2009, 11:56 PM

Yay, about time we got SSB in the NA region.

*clears throat*
Super SMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA-
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA-
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA-
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAASH BROTHERS!!!

And remember, "I'm-a Luigi, number one!"

Chaos Deviot · 11-25-2009, 05:53 PM

Considering the Mode 7 chip was already emulated in the japanese virtual console, that arguement doesn't work. We could've gotten the game nearly a year earlier. Or maybe less, I forget when SMK was released in the japanese region. Also, we can finally get Star Fox!

Super Smash Bros. is now available for download from the VC for 1000 points.

According to Wikipedia, the original Mario Party is slated to be released for the VC sometime in 2010. This tidbit of information doesn't come with a cited source, however, so it may or may not be factual.
