Nintendo updated its Wii U Virtual Console service today with a pair of classic titles from its Nintendo 64 and DS game libraries.
Nintendo 64 games will cost between $9.99 and $12.99 USD. If you already purchased a specific N64 game on Wii Virtual Console, you can upgrade to the Wii U version of that game for $2 USD. Nintendo DS games will cost between $6.99 and $9.99 USD. Both will offer support for custom control configurations, but DS games, specifically, will offer multiple dual screen setup options between the GamePad and TV. N64 games that support the Rumble Pak will receive similar functionality on the GamePad.
Super Mario 64 and Yoshi’s Island DS will launch today at $9.99 USD. Nintendo revealed its N64 and DS Virtual Console release schedule for the next few weeks. Check it out below.
