Nintendo just surprise-dropped a Japan-only SNES Mario game onto the Virtual Console
"Nintendo just released an odd little game onto the SNES Virtual Console that was previously exclusive to Japan. The simply-titled Mario & Wario is a point-and-click puzzle game that finds the plumber on the search for his brother after his money-obsessed doppelganger drops a bucket on his head. That's the actual plot. Players lead the bucket-headed Mario through 100 levels, each of which are filled with point-and-click puzzles set in a sidescrolling world."
"The original game was controlled via mouse and this Virtual Console release is no different. Switch owners can simply plug in a USB mouse to get going but Switch 2 owners have a niftier option. You may remember that the new console's Joy-Con controllers can flip over and be used as a mouse. Mario & Wario is another use case for this concept, after Drag x Drive and a minigame in Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour."
Nintendo released Mario & Wario on the SNES Virtual Console outside Japan for the first time. Mario & Wario is a point-and-click puzzle where Mario searches for his brother after a money-obsessed doppelganger drops a bucket on his head. Players guide bucket-headed Mario through 100 sidescrolling levels filled with point-and-click puzzles. The original required a mouse and the Virtual Console release supports mouse control; Switch owners can use a USB mouse while Switch 2 owners can use the Joy-Con mouse functionality. Mario & Wario joins other SNES additions such as Bubsy in Claws Encounters of the Furred Kind and Fatal Fury Special.
