Mario Kart 64 (N64) is now available on the Wii U Virtual Console for $9.99. New 3DS owners can download and play Castlevania Dracula X (SNES) for $7.99.  Keep in mind, you will need a New 3DS to play SNES VC games.

Here is the official description of Mario Kart 64 from Nintendo’s website:

“Put the pedal to the metal in this worthy successor to the Super NES classic, Super Mario Kart. With improved courses and a revolutionary head-to-head four-player mode, Mario Kart 64 is sure to win the heart of any race-driving fan. The game includes 20 different courses filled with dips, valleys, jumps, tunnels and bridges. Smooth, precise control will bring players back time and time again for freewheeling fun.”

What do you think?  Will be downloading either of these classic fan favorites? And if you download Mario Kart 64, don’t forget about the shortcuts on Rainbow Road and Wario Stadium.  Skilled drivers could also get the difficult shortcut in Mario Raceway by boost jumping over the wall.
