Super Mario Bros. 3 for VC

via Eurogamer


Nintendo of America has announced a special treat for US Wii owners to celebrate the impending launch of Super Mario Galaxy.

Today will see the Virtual Console release of Super Mario Bros. 3, "considered by many to be the greatest video of all time" as Nintendo puts it.

It will cost 500 Wii Points (GBP 3.50 / EUR 5) and be released alongside Mega Drive side-scroller Alien Soldier (available here last week) and TurboGrafx-16 title Power Golf (available on Friday according to the official Hudson site).

There is no word on whether Super Mario Bros. 3 will be here on Friday, unfortunately, but we have our fingers crossed.

I yelled with joy when I read this. I was in class and I didn't even care. This is my favorite game of all time and the best Mario game of them all. Yeah I said it.
