Dr. Mario Available Now On Wii U Virtual Console
The NES version of Dr. Mario is available to download now on the Wii U's Virtual Console.
You can check out the trailer for the game below. This isn't the first Dr. puzzle game released on Wii U, as Nintendo recently released the brand new Dr. Luigi on the console. You can read our review of that game here. As is the case with all virtual console games, if you own the Wii version, the Wii U version is discounted.
Our Take
Nintendo is starting to pick things up for the virtual console with the planned release of a handful of Game Boy Advance games, which I am looking forward to. For my general thoughts on the virtual console, head here.
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.
