Thanks to Chauncey for the tip!
Earlier today, we posted some speculation coming from IGN, which indicated that the Virtual Console for the 3DS would be available at launch. Consider that rumor debunked! IGN has now changed their article to the following:
“It’s important to note that some of these features will not be available out of the box, and will need to be downloaded from a Wi-Fi connection. Nintendo has revealed that a worldwide update, scheduled for late May, will enable some of this functionality, most notably the eShop (including the Virtual Console) and DSi-to-3DS data transfer.”
I’m pretty sure IGN simply mixed up their information in this instance. I just don’t think it’s possible for players to access the VC service without the eShop!
This actually isn’t the first “Real life Mario Kart” video. You can check out the original right here. The first video received quite a bit of publicity when it was released!
