VC in Brief: Super Mario Kart (SNES), A Boy and His Blob (NES)

by David Hinkle on Nov 23rd 2009 9:15PM

This week's Virtual Console update is delicious on two different fronts. For one, it's delicious in that we wish we could have some of those jelly beans the Blob in A Boy and His Blob is snacking on -- well, except for the ketchup ones. Even we don't like those!

Secondly, it's delicious because ... uh, we may not have thought that far ahead, But, hey, Super Mario Kart! Have you been adequately distracted from our mental lapse? Check out the video above!

Super Mario Kart (SNES, 1-2 players, 800 Wii Points)
A Boy and His Blob: Trouble on Blobolonia (NES, 1 player, 500 Wii Points)

Every week, we like to check out what's new on the Virtual Console. We offer these videos as a sort of taste to help you decide whether or not you would want the game in question. We also toss in our own two cents because we're pushy jerks like that.

It boggles my mind how Nintendo approved that commercial for Bowser's Side Story where they keep pronouncing Mario that way.

I'd get it if i dont own it twice already and when i mean twice, i mean owning the original on Super Nintendo and having a portable version on Gameboy Advance (Mario Kart: Super Circuit).

MAR-E-O

not

MARE-E-O

Mario even says his own name in some games, how do people continuously screw this up. Now when you read this think of the guy from the PS3 Commercial, C'MON!
