Mario Kart SNES coming to US VC

Classic SNES racer Super Mario Kart is set for a Virtual Console release in the US.

According to Gamespot the 17 year-old game will cost 800 Wii Points (around £6 / €8).

Also on the way to VC are Pilotwings, another SNES title, and Nintendo 64 hit Super Smash Bros. There's no word on a price for those yet, or when we can expect to see the trio of games on the European Virtual Console - but we'll keep you posted.
