Virtual Console Gets Mario Kart Next Week

Nintendo provided final release details yesterday for its Tuesday Virtual Console update.

Two games are due out next week. From Namco Bandai comes the 1987 overhead arcade shooter Assault. From Nintendo comes something even more exciting: Super Mario Kart! These are both priced at 800 WiiPoints. Nintendo could totally charge more for Mario Kart.
