Penguins on Wii's Virtual Console

In honor of the generous Penguins + promotional blog on N+ (the best Nintendo related community on the web), I’d like to do a Nintendo related blog. Today’s topic: penguins found in great games on the Nintendo Wii’s Virtual Console. There are quality games that include penguins on the virtual console right now. In Mario 64 you can return a missing baby penguin to its mother (among other penguin interactions) and Mario Kart 64 features a track with belly-sliding penguins as obstacles. These are great titles! However, if you’re looking for penguins, the title you may really want to see released is Paper Mario (The N64 one). In this game, penguins even have their own city. Penguin characters include; The absent-minded mayor of Shiver City; his wife, who reads a few too many murder mystery novels; and Herringway, a penguin mystery novelist! No doubt, the name Herringway was derived from the term red herring.

Hopefully, they release this title onto the Virtual Console soon! I can’t wait! (I never beat this game; I lost my copy…)

Herringway is a mix between Herring and Hemingway.

also in mario kart 64, on the virtual console, there is a trask in the 3rd racing circuit with a ton of penguis sliding around on ice across the glacial track.

Hmmm, leaders of both my groups on the same place. Am I risking being thrown out of both if I say the only good Mario is a paper Mario, and even then he lacks depth.
