Super Mario Bros. The Lost Levels Now Available On Wii U Virtual Console
The game deemed too hard for North America, is now available on the Wii U's Virtual Console.
The game first saw release in the United States when it was updated to 16-bit graphics in Super Mario All Stars, but this original NES version did eventually come to the Wii's Virtual Console in 2007. Now the game is available for the Wii U's Virtual Console.

Our Take
Nintendo is still missing a lot of opportunities with the Virtual Console. I would have loved to download Donkey Kong Country when Tropical Freeze came out, or Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island ahead of Yoshi's New Island releasing on Friday.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
