To accommodate the unique control setups of those systems, you'll have several customization options for button layouts and (for the DS) how the game will display across the Wii U GamePad and your TV screen.

The price will be $10 to $13 for N64 games. If you've bought a title previously on the Wii Virtual Console, the update will only cost $2. Nintendo DS games will cost between $7 and $10.

The first set of titles available immediately following the Direct presentation are:

• Yoshi's Island -- $10
• Mario 64 -- $10

Titles we'll get later down the line include:

• Donkey Kong 64 -- 4/16 -- $10
• Mario Kart DS -- 4/23 -- $10
• Paper Mario -- 4/30 -- $10
• Yoshi Touch & Go 4/9 -- $10
• WarioWare Touched -- 4/9 -- $10

Fledgling game studio Playtonic, currently working on a spiritual successor to classic Nintendo 64 platformer Banjo-Kazooie, says it knows what Rare is working on and that fans will be satisfied. Purchased by Microsoft in 2002, the legendary developer had been creating titles in the Kinect Sports series, but many gamers have been desperate to see Rare return to its glory days, when it produced lively platform adventures such as Donkey Kong Country, Banjo-Kazooie and Conkers Bad Fur Day. Playtonic, formed by six ex-employees of Rare, still has contact with its old employer, which is based only a few miles away. I still chat to them, I know what they were working on when I left last year, says Playtonics studio head, Gavin Price, who worked for Rare for 20 years, having joined as a tester in the 1990s. It sounds really good.

Give people the tools and means of sharing so Nintendo can put off developing another real installment until probably the next console or handheld generation. You know, the basics.

As the carriage sped silently down the track, Iwata, the puckish CEO of Nintendo, began sketching out a new idea: a line of physical toys with built-in chips that connected wirelessly to the companys varied game systems. The toys would let Nintendo trade on its universe of characters like Mario and Donkey Kong while generating new sales."
