Guys who just got their copy of Wave Race 64 on their Wii's Virtual Console may want to take a closer look at the scenery for a bit of Nintendo-style guerrilla marketing. Screenshots taken of the game indicate that the big "N" has done some reworking on the title's ROM, and revamped some in-game ads to promote their Wii and DS (screenshots via Siliconera): |

Sure it makes for some good advertising but this is just a case of losing the licensing for the original advertising in the background. If I remember correctly there were Kawasaki ads plastered on the sides on the old cartridge. It's not like Nintendo is just randomly placing ads in a 10 year old game. There is a reason guys.

The ads have better graphics than the VC N64 game. That funny.

This means they CAN change vc games! This could potentially mean new content or secret areas in old school games!

Of course they can change old games, they never delete the source to something they make.

They've deleted some content from old games; like the secret passwords in Kid Icarus (land I can't even beat the first level anyway).

I think they placed those adds to cover the Kawasaki banners. The original game had Kawasaki and JetSki banners, as well as on the vehicles. Maybe Nintendo did/could not get the license again?
