C64 lands on the U.S. Wii Virtual Console
February 23, 2009
Seems like only a year ago when I was lamenting the fact that the European Virtual Console was getting Commodore 64 games… wait, it WAS a year ago, almost ot the day. Well, it’s time for the U.S. to get in on that sweet C64 action. According to Nintendo today:
The other big news this week is the hotly anticipated launch of Commodore 64 game titles on Virtual Console. Starting with two classic martial arts games and an awesome car racing title, we’re thrilled to add yet another old-school gaming platform to the mix. Virtual Console already offers classic games that originally appeared on a variety of platforms, and with the addition of Commodore 64, Wii owners can expect even more vintage games to rediscover and enjoy.
The titles added this week are The Last Ninja, International Karate and Pitstop II, and they are $5 each. Can’t say as those are among my list of favorites, but this news makes me a happy, happy camper.
