Original Mario Kart Races onto VC

Fancy a dose of karting action with Mario and his 16-bit buddies? Relive where the action started with Super Mario Kart for VC.

Series fans who don't own the game have eagerly anticipated a release since the service started, and finally Nintendo are set to deliver with a release in North America. Gamespot reports that for 800 Wii points you'll be able to tear up classic Nintendo tracks in style from November 23rd.

On a side note there's also confirmation that Pilotwings and Super Smash Bros. 64 will also make their virtual debut by the end of the year.

Are you a fan of the original Mario Kart? Will you be grabbing hold of a copy?
