North Pole News: Special Christmas Treat on the Way for Wii

This year Santa is getting some competition from another jolly guy with a
big belly and a red cap. We’re talking about video game icon Mario, of
course. As a special holiday surprise for Wii owners from Nintendo, the
original Super Mario Bros. game for the Nintendo Entertainment System
will appear in the Wii Shop Channel and be downloadable for 500 Wii Points.
Wii owners with a high-speed Internet connection can redeem Wii Points to
download the game. Wii Points can be purchased in the Wii Shop Channel or at
retail outlets.

The classic game will make Christmas morning extra special, just as it did
more than two decades ago. Super Mario Bros. reigns as perhaps the best-known
and most-played game on any video game system in history. More than 40.2
million copies of the game found their way into homes worldwide. In addition
to Super Mario Bros., other top-notch offerings available on Dec. 25 include:

• Street Fighter II: The World Warrior (Super NES, 1-2 players,
  800 Wii Points): This game revolutionized the fighting-game genre with
  characters that had unique fighting skills, speed, special moves and
  unique endings.
• Super Castlevania IV (Super NES, 1 player, 800 Wii Points): Simon
  Belmont uses his trusty whip to fight the powers of evil on his way to
  Dracula’s Castle.
• Toe Jam & Earl (Sega Genesis, 1-2 players, 800 Wii Points): Two
  fun-loving aliens crash on Earth and must find 10 pieces of their
  spaceship so they can get back home to Planet Funkotron.
• R-TYPE (TurboGrafx16, 1-2 players, 800 Wii Points): This is a
  completely faithful port - right down to the character details - of the
  famous shooting-game masterpiece.

Games available on Jan. 1 include:

• Baseball (NES, 1-2 players, 500 Wii Points): Play nine innings of
  fierce sandlot competition with classic NES graphics.
• Urban Champion (NES, 1-2 players, 500 Wii Points): Don’t let the
  big, bad bully of the neighborhood push you around! Players fight for
  the right to walk the street.
