Mario vs. Donkey Kong

Nintendo finally brought Mario vs. Donkey Kong to the North American Wii U Virtual Console today. Watch some footage below.

Mario vs Donkey Kong will make its way to the North American Wii U Virtual Console this week. That’s according to a listing on Nintendo’s website confirming a release date of February 9.

Here’s an overview:

“Donkey Kong just made off with all the Mini-Mario toys, and now it’s up to Mario to chase his long-time nemesis and retrieve the stolen goods.

Leap and battle through increasingly difficult levels as you use switches, conveyor belts, hammers, and more to overcome the hordes of enemies that block your way.

You need brawn…and brains! Figure out the best path, then break out new Mario moves like the handstand to track down keys, collect gifts, and navigate perilous platforms across barrels of levels.

Before battling Donkey Kong at the end of each world, collect all the Mini-Marios and lead them to safety!”

Mario vs Donkey Kong will cost $6.99.
