Nintendo is finally bringing some new platforms to its Wii U Virtual Console.

The Nintendo 64 and DS are joining the lineup of available games through the Wii U’s eShop. These go on sale today with Yoshi’s Island DS and Super Mario 64 for the Wii U, and regular updates will add more hits from these classic systems.

This is Nintendo finally delivering on a delayed promise. In January 2014, the company announced that some DS games would come to the Wii U, but that never materialized until today.
