The recent Virtual Console release of the Nintendo 64 iteration of Mario Kart had one minor problem (well, a couple minor problems, from what we're hearing); you couldn't save Time Trial ghost data to the Wii. What is often a very helpful guide for those of us trying to best our karting lap scores is something the Wii simply won't be able to support without a fix.

So how about that fix? Pro-G got the following statement from Nintendo about the issue.

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.

Unavoidable? Really? Sure, it's outlined in the Virtual Console Shop Channel but that doesn't make the hurt any less worse. Let's hope Nintendo can find some way to squeeze 256KB of data out of the Wiis internal storage to address this issue in a future update. Michael McWhertor
