The hugely popular N64 classic racer is now available to download on the European Virtual Console.

Nintendo 64 releases on the Wii's Virtual Console have been few and far between. Actually...we've only had Super Mario 64 up until now. However, that has all changed, thanks to Mario Kart 64.

Somewhat of a surprise release this week, the N64 classic racer is now available for you to download from the Virtual Console, which is within the WiiShop Channel.

Now you can recreate those classic multiplayer memories, and this should be a worthy addition to your retro collection.

Also seeing a release this week is turbografix title Soldier Blade, but it has also had the misfortune of seeing a release along with a classic title such as Mario Kart 64. However, don't let that stop your purchasing this, as well. The more games, the better, we say.
