Virtual Console

Nintendo has its own holiday surprises planned for December 25. Only you have to pay for it, and its not really a surprise since they announced it four days early. But whatever. Nintendo is releasing the original Super Mario Bros. on the Virtual Console for 500 points. Street Fighter II: The World Warrior from the NES, Super Castlevania IV from the SNES, Toe Jam & Earl from Genesis, and R-TYPE from the TurboGrafx16 will also go live on Christmas day, each for 800 points.

Nintendo will also add Baseball and Urban Champion from the NES on January 1 for 500 points.

Nintendo has announced the final list of titles that will make it to the Japanese Virtual Console by the end of the year. December 2 seems to be the day with the most releases. Hopefully, many of these titles will end up over here soon, because our pickings are currently rather slim. It costs $19.99 for 2000 points, so 100 = $1. The full list is after the jump.
