You Can Now Download Wario Land: Shake It And Excitebike 64 For Wii U
Two classic games are now available for download on the Wii U. Wario Land: Shake It and Excitebike 64 for Virtual Console can now be purchased from the Nintendo eShop.
Originally released for the Wii in 2008, Wario Land: Shake It stars Mario's evil counterpart in a side-scrolling platformer that makes use of the Wii Remote's motion controls for actions like shaking objects and triggering earthquakes. It also had a really amazing YouTube trailer back in the day. The stages feature missions and secrets to keep players returning to levels they've already cleared. The Wii U version of the game is compatible with the GamePad controller.
Excitebike 64, for the Nintendo 64, brought the classic NES motocross title into 3D. There are tricks to learn, several riders to choose from, and the ability to create your own tracks. You can race against up to four friends, and use the Wii U controller to play off-TV.

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.
