Did you hear the one about the Uber founder and a Nintendo Wii? A few years back, an investor named Alex Thompson invited Travis Kalanick, the brains behind the ride-sharing giant, to his family’s home for the holidays. While there, Alex’s dad challenged Kalanick to a friendly tennis match on the Wii.
With a confident smirk, Kalanick agreed and proceeded to dominate Alex’s dad, showcasing his skills like a pro. After a while, he cheekily claimed he was “playing with my opposite hand” and switched controllers, yet somehow still left Alex’s dad scoreless! Turns out, Kalanick had not only built a billion-dollar company but also honed his skills to become one of the top Wii tennis players globally. He even showed off his high scores, proudly displaying that he was tied for second in the world rankings.
Now, why are we reminiscing about this? Well, Nintendo just made an exciting announcement that could inspire you to get your kids hooked on the Wii U. They’ve unveiled that some classic Nintendo 64 and DS games—like Super Mario 64 and Yoshi’s Island DS—are now available on the Wii U Virtual Console.
According to recent reports, the Virtual Console is like a magical time machine that lets your family enjoy beloved old-school games right on the modern Wii U. Previously, the selection was limited to NES, Super NES, and Game Boy Advance titles, but now you can access some of those nostalgic N64 games too! Plus, if you’ve already purchased them on the older Wii console, transferring them over to the Wii U will only cost you $2 per title as they become available.
So, there you have it! You now have double the reasons to say yes when your kids beg to play the Wii U. Not only will they dive into the classics we grew up with, but who knows? They might just become the next tech moguls!
