Want the original Super Mario Kart? Then you got it. Nintendo's announced that the classic title will be heading to the Virtual Console of the Wii -- as soon as Monday comes.

This week's iPhone Weekend Warrior is all about the numbers: 100,000 App Store apps, N64 games in the iPhone, RC3 for blackra1n, and two first person shooters that you don't want to miss - all written in five articles. It's a short list, but heavy on the good stuff, so be sure to matter-load right here.

IIt surely would look a lot like Christmas very soon if this groovy plan pushes through. Word has it that the infamous iPhone hacker ZodTTD is set to give all you N64 fans a sweet treat very soon. Yes, you read that right. "iPhone" and "N64" in one sentence.

A pleasant surprise has sprung up from deep in the night, thanks to the DaedalusX64 Team. The latest build, Alpha Rev 436, for their on-going wonder project, DaedalusX64, has just been released.

While most of the coders out there work within the same circles, one of them seems to be standing on the outside, causing his own storm of sorts. External from most of the drama, StrmnNrmn is happily living in his own world, giving us one of the greatest homebrew emulator projects for the PSP: the Nintendo 64 emulator, Deadalus PSP. As a tribute to Daedalus' third year anniversary this month, here's your QuickGuide for reminiscing (or catching up!) on the life and times of StrmnNrmn so far. Strap into your seats, we're heading into the eye of the storm!

The DaedalusX64 team is back with a quick update for the latest beta version of their DeadalusX64 emulator for the PSP. As Kreationz states, this update is just a quick fix, but it's still recommended that you update your version of Beta 2 to this one. Quick fix as it may be, just look at that changelog in the full article, man.

Earlier this year, we heard confirmation that Banjo-Tooie will be coming to the Xbox Live Arcade sometime this month. Thanks to a recent announcement from Rare, we can now change that "sometime" to a more specific date.

This was expected to happen much, much earlier - but what the hey, it's coming! Super Smash Bros., the original game on the N64 that started the Smash franchise, is coming to the Wii Virtual Console next year for Japan. A release in other regions shouldn't be far behind.

Woot! Yes, indeedy: StrmnNrmn is back in the scene! We just got confirmation from Kreationz that StrmnNrmn is joining the DaedalusX64 team - not full-time, mind you, but more as a consultant with some minor contributions. We also get news that he's working on a port of the original Daedalus project too!

*Update* Kreationz has clarified certain matters and given some new info.
