Mario Kart 64 fanatics are saying that the version on Virtual Console looks pretty nice, what with all the 480p and all, but they’re bummed at the lack of ghost data. If you had an N64 Memory Card, you could save your best track runs and compete against yourself. This isn’t possible in the Virtual Console version; apparently Nintendo just wasn’t able to emulate the Memory Card properly.
Well, this bites. For Mario Kart, but also for any N64 game that required the Memory Card to save. Which a few of them did, although I’m not sure if any of them were any good (or were ever going to show up on Virtual Console in the first place). I think Nintendo should try to fix this, and offer to update the game if they can get it running. Giving up is not an option!
