Virtual Console

If there is one area in which Mario has dominated on Wii, it's the Virtual Console. Since its onset, beloved Mario games have helped to establish Nintendo's digital distribution service, outselling the vast majority of classic games now available. The still-standing popularity of yesterday's Mario is a testament to his impact on the industry, and a reminder that cutting-edge graphics and waggle controls aren't everything.

We lost count of how many times we have paid for Super Mario Bros. 3. Thankfully, our own David Hinkle returns each week to advise us on how to spend our Nintendo points in VC Monday Madness.
