Virtual Console up and running

Awesome!!

I guess this is kinda neat...When more N64 games pop up and I can play them with a decent controller like the Wii classic one, THEN I'll get more intruiged. And to those that swore up and down that these games would be free? I know its late, but I was busy so...ahem... "Told ya so!" -=p

Gunstar Heroes..... I just creamed my shorts.

cool but people gettinting a Wii at midnight means they will be playing LoZ:TP not these old games

Here Wii go, here Wii go, here Wii go..

And as soon as SNK starts sticking Neo Geo titles up there, I'll be happy :) @audioaxes "what a rip off!!!! just use a emulator they play sega/nes/snes games flawlessly" And illegally too. Maybe you should look at what the MPAA and RIAA have been doing in the past few years. Nintendo, Sega, and Hudson all have a financial interest in starting to aggressively pursuing warez sites hosting roms of their games.

There is one thing that I would like with some of these games. I would like to use the Wii remote to play them without the Classic controller. Games like Space Harrier II would be great to play. You can move much faster and accurately with the remote the a standard controller because of the 3D motion. I know that they won't change an old game like that, but it is something that I would like, anyway.

Just for all your information go to wikipedia's virtual console article it has a list of confirmed VC games with the links to the sources of the info

<< LINK REMOVED >> They have Wii IN STOCK but you'll have to overpay!!

audioaxes...go away

Get to Australia quicker Ninty!

They've got to add Streets of Rage and Mortal Kombat, oh those games bring back such sweet memories....

those aren't expensive, Go to your local game trader and try to buy any of those. Some Snes games are $100 a piece. This is wicked.

what a rip off!!!! just use a emulator they play sega/nes/snes games flawlessly

thats cool in all, but it looks like they didn't put the legend of zeld ocarina of time... maybe it'll come later

Seriously, those are pretty expensive...

Wouldn't it be cheaper to buy an old N64 or Genesis on eBay with some games? $8 for Genesis and $10 for N64 seems a little steep to me :/

If these were going for half the price I'd almost consider it.. Maybe Toe Jam and Earl is worth it...

I can't wait for Dungeon Explorer, and I hope they let you use the wiimote to point at things in sim city

Thats cool its up already.

cool..... if only I had Wii points :(

i have never had the pleasure to play any zelda games since the first nes zelda,my wii is pre-ordered and paid for it seems these consoles are harder to get a hold of then first thought in the uk, i had 6 pre-orders in incase one failed i had another chance with another company but since then ive had 5 emails 4 saying were sorry but we cannot get you a wii for launch bla bla bla, and 1 confiming my payment and delivery date and an email saying it will be here on the 8th it better be, my first nintendo console since the first nes, im really excited as you can tell i have completly went off from what i was going to say sorry. Im hoping the old zeldas come to vc like the n64 zelda i forget the name but i always wanted to play that but never got round to buying the system nd i will pick up the old gc versions. i have zelda tp ordered with red steel but after the poor review im thinking of cancelling that i probaly wont though as i have 3 extra remotes and nun-chucks ordered also just to play split screen red steel, reminds me of golden eye we used to play that at my friends skyving off school just to play it along with mario 64 and mario kart they were good games. im looking forward to some mario and other nintendo stuff will be a nice change from shooting dudes in the face on the 360. i might pick up truma centre and banana blitz also they scored good and tc looks interesting.

they need more n64 games

Some of you guys are wondering "Hey, where's (title of game) at? it's not there" but don't worry, they'll eventually be available as soon as possible. Remember, 10 games are being released for the VC every month. It might be possible that some of them might not make the list, but I am hoping that some titles like Earthworm Jim, Paper Mario, Etc. will make it on the list in the future.

Hopefully the games will all have added things like save features, it would give me an excuse to buy my favorites again.

Nintendo is [finally] on the ball with this one. Heck yes!

I'm not seeing any Square/Enix games on the list. No Chronno Trigger, Final Fantasy, or Dragon Warrior games. I hope they're not having trouble getting these on there. Anyone heard anything?

omg! omg! omg! so awesomely cool!! now all i need is an Australian Wii... (in about 3 weeks...)

Any chance of Chrono Trigger, Earthbound, Super Mario RPG or Paper Mario(64) getting on there? I've always wanted to play them

no super smash bros on 64. That was a fun game

Just imagine play Mario bros. and gunstar heroes with friends using the classic Nintendo controller, that's fun as hell!!!

NO N64 ZELDA?!?!?!?!!?!?!

Wow, that interface looks clean. :P

OMG OMG OMG TOEJAM AND EARL!!!

It will be interesting to see if games like Sonic that are on both the VC and Xbox Live Arcade are the same on both consoles or if there is something in one version that the otherone dosn't have.

were is super metroid the best game ever and not there

Mystical Ninja starring Goemon please :)

Cool.

Too bad I own all the games I've seen that I would want...

Im just happy that owners of the Wii will be able to get online and download classic games right out of the box, eventhough game selections are slim.

Do you play these games with the Wii-Mote?

Wait a minute... correct my if I'm wrong, but wasn't Bomberman '93 five player? How is that going to work? Does the Wii support more than four players?

Wow people already complaining about the list, guess noone noticed that they will be adding games each month It is a very good line-up as of now, Mario 64, and old school Zelda...hell yes

What no Streets of Rage 1-3,Phantasy Star 2 and 4,Military Madness? Also I hope the Snes Starfox shows up on there (Can live without Starfox 64)

can you play f-zero online with other people???? if not then whats the point. I want real online service this crap is free cause you dont get bells and whistles just think how many more wii's will fly off the shelf if we could play any of the mario kart games online with other people hell even mario party

I'm still waiting for Uniracers, and LOZ:Link to the Past, Super Punch Out, Earth Worm Jim, ...

no leader board? no online mode? no updated grafix, 99% of virtua console games are not worth the price

Can't wait until they add Super Mario RPG and Paper Mario (64) to the list. :D

Cool, according to GameSpot, almost all those titles are rated higher than Zelda TP. The Wii is saved !!!
