Super Mario Galaxy out on the Japanese Wii U VC

Critically acclaimed Wii platformer Super Mario Galaxy is now available on the Wii U Virtual Console in Japan.

Till now fans have been speculating whether Nintendo would be remaking the Wii release, given the inclusion of Super Mario Galaxy 2 on the Wii U Virtual Console but not its predecessor. However, now it seems unlikely as Super Mario Galaxy is now on the service - 31st May in Japan.

Players will need to use the Wii Remote, nunchuck and sensor bar in order to play.
