The Wii Virtual Console Hands-On

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the business-is-believing dept.

Gamespot has a hands-on with the virtual console for the Wii. From the article: "Nintendo's Wii Virtual Console demo station featured five signature games from system's past: Super Mario Bros. from the NES, Super Mario World from the SNES, Super Mario 64 from the Nintendo 64, Sonic the Hedgehog from the Sega Genesis, and Bonk's Adventure from the TurboGrafix 16. The navigation menu only allowed us to scroll through the five title selection pages, so we didn't get a chance to select and download games to run."

    Take 2: Will there be any games by companies other than Nintendo, Sega, or Hudson?

    This could potentially go on for quite a while. I'll save you some trouble by revealing the exclusive knowledge that there will not be any games by any companies apart from the companies by which there are games.

    thats just too bad, I would have LOVED to seen monkey boys face if some old Japanese guy stood up on a chair and did that.

    probably would have thrown a chair.

    re:"I always like to push technology down their throat"

    I could make some filthy joke about people shoving wee's down other people's throats - but that would be crass and wrong and I'd never stoop to doing something like that, particularly in a public forum. It's just wrong.
