Nintendo’s website is listing Blaster Master for release on the North American Wii U Virtual Console tomorrow. The game will be sold for $4.99.

Here’s the official overview:

Jason, in search of his pet frog named Fred, has fallen down a manhole into a world of danger. Mutant-sized creatures of which the likes he never imagined, await him at every turn. In order to survive, Jason must pair up with an armored combat vehicle codenamed SOPHIA. It’s panic or perish as you blast through an endless maze of tunnels, seeking secret passages for an escape. Destroy the Plutonium Boss and his mutant cronies before these warlords destroy the Earth. Load up your arsenal, and get ready for the final encounter!

Blaster Master previously came to the North American 3DS Virtual Console last July.

Although it should hardly come as a surprise, Natsume has officially confirmed plans to release Harvest Moon: More Friends of Mineral Town on the Wii U Virtual Console. The original Friends of Mineral Town hit the North American eShop last June.

Natsume previously said in April that it had eight GBA games planned for the Wii U Virtual Console. Friends of Mineral Town and its sequel were practically shoo-ins once that statement was made.

When Mario Tennis for the N64 launched on the Wii Virtual Console, it came without the Ring Tournament challenge mode. For the Wii U release, this feature has been fully implemented. That’s a pretty nice move on Nintendo’s part!

Nintendo’s website confirms that the N64 version of Mario Tennis is launching on the North American Wii U eShop tomorrow as a Virtual Console download. A rating for the game was found on the ESRB yesterday, which suggested that its release was imminent.

Here’s the official overview of Mario Tennis:

The Mushroom Kingdom’s finest hit the court in this wild multiplayer tennis game from Camelot, the talented developers behind Golden Sun and Mario Golf! Put some power and spin into your shots to claim victory on your own. Or go head-to-head with up to three friends in multiple modes such as Ring Shot, Exhibition, and more!

Mario, Luigi, Bowser, Princess Peach, Toad, and Donkey Kong lead off the all-star, 14-character lineup, including some fan favorites this game popularized, like Daisy. The fast-paced action will have you unleashing vicious volleys, lifesaving lobs, ballistic backhands, and electrifying supercharged smashes! Don’t forget: this is tennis with a Mario twist. Take the Piranha Challenge and brave the barrage of bouncing balls, or try out the Bowser Stage to attack opponents with Green Shells. It’s easy to see why this sports classic has stood the test of time.

Mario Tennis will be available to purchase for $9.99.
