Remember the ability to save ghost data of your best run for each course in Mario Kart 64? Well, due to the lack of N64 Controller Paks and some technical problems getting it to work with Wii compatible memory, it looks like this feature is absent and will remain absent on the VC version of the game. According to Nintendo’s response to Pro-G,
“Due to unavoidable technical reasons unfortunately it is not possible to save ghost data from Mario Kart 64′s Time Trials in the Virtual Console version of the game. Nintendo has placed messages advising users about this before they download the game both when the Wii Shop Channel is first accessed and in the More Details tab on the individual game page.”
What is to become of the other great Nintendo 64 games that required the Controller Pak? I think it’s officially a concern now.
