Super Mario Advance is coming to the North American Wii U Virtual Console tomorrow, Nintendo’s website confirms. The game will be available for $7.99.
If you’d like a quick refresher of Super Mario Advance, check out the summary below:
Mario and his friends return in this 2-in-1 bundle filled with classic platforming, memorable graphics, and catchy music. Play Super Mario Bros. 2, where Mario, Luigi, Princess Peach, and Toad journey to a magical land to save it from an evil frog named Wart. Or play Mario Bros., and try to defeat as many enemies as possible. Both games are remakes of the original NES releases and offer hours of running, jumping, lifting, and POW action!
A listing for Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare on Wii U has been spotted in Target’s database. Don’t take this as a confirmation that Activision is bringing the shooter to Nintendo’s console though, as it could certainly be an error. It’s definitely peculiar that the listing has popped up after Advanced Warfare’s launch!
