The title will be added to the Virtual Console on January 21st, this Thursday. According to Eurogamer, it will cost £8.99.

Mario Kart 64 is highly regarded for the courses it introduced to the franchise, including Moo Moo Farm and Yoshi Valley. Although the game at the time received mixed reviews(getting a 6.4/10 from Gamespot), most N64 titles are looked back on with rose coloured glasses.
