Virtual console adds N64 and DS titles in the future

Nintendo's Virtual Console service on Wii U will get a whole new set of games. On last night's Nintendo Direct they announced that four new games are available from today. Mario Kart DS and WarioWare Touched are the first addition of Nintendo DS games, while Super Mario 64 and Donkey Kong 64 open up the lineup for Nintendo 64 games. We will also get to see Paper Mario for N64 and Yoshi's Island DS in the future. As a nice detail, all the N64 games that supported Rumble Pak back in the day will continue their rumblings on Wii U's Gamepad.

There was also a special offer for early bird buyers, as buying one of those games before April 16th will also get you one for free.
