C64 games coming to Wii's Virtual Console

Posted Feb 21st 2008 12:48PM by Joshua Topolsky

Just when you think all of your nostalgic fantasies have all been fulfilled, along comes Nintendo with a little extra joy for your retro heart. That "little extra" in this case happens to be Commodore 64 games for your Wii. You read that correctly, people -- C64 games are headed to the system's Virtual Console, starting with International Karate and Uridium, which will run you 500 Wii points apiece. Right now, the rollout appears to be taking place in Europe only, though we suspect it'll head over to our shores sooner rather than later. While you're waiting for that to happen, maybe now is a good time to exercise your digits and polish up on your IK trash talk.

You think your Commodore 64 is really neato? What kind've chip you got in there, a Dorito?

It is a rip-off, but it is cool nonetheless

Well, when they finally get around to releasing it in my neck o' the woods.
