So what will Nintendo do now that the Wii has been released and the initial flow of new games has stopped? Well, besides selling more and more Wiis, they are leveraging their Virtual Console platform to launch new (old) games. Having just released Wario Ware: Smooth Moves, Mario Kart 64 is set to be available next week on VC. Why is this significant? Only becuase Mario Kart 64 is one of the most significant racing games on any console. Even if you never owned a N64, chances are you have played the game plenty. So while Nintendo has also said that the VC games won’t improve the graphics, that might not be such a bad thing. Legacy graphics are so retro and nostalgic. — Nik Gomez
