Possible Virtual Console Titles for Wii Launch
The site PlayNintendo has up a list of possible launch titles for the Wii Virtual Console. Nothing on the list is particularly surprising, with classics like Sonic, various Mario titles, Metroid, and Castlevania filling out the roster. The article author goes on to discuss his source for the information, sharing additional tidbits he's learned. "I have received info from them before that has turned out true, including a tip back before E3 that Wii could ship as early as September with 20 titles. With the fact that Broadway has been in Nintendo's hands for some time, the console could, in fact, ship late September. However, they also stated that October is much more likely and if Nintendo did decide to wait, there would be more like 30 titles for launch. With the launch list continuously growing, that one has all but been confirmed as true too." With Nintendo's big announcement due later this week, we shouldn't have long to wait before this is confirmed or disproven.
Errr...Isn't Sonic owned by Sega? I think Sega is planning on making all of it's old console titles available on the VC.
Why would Sony have anything to do with this? Sonic is Sega's creation.
Doesn't Sega own Sega and Sonic? So where does Sony come into this?
disclaimer: I've been known to store numbers in my ass for which to dig out when quantities are required.
