According to Nintendo Power and Gamasutra, the Nintendo Wii will feature Commodore 64 games in its Virtual Console. If you’re not familiar with the virtual console it’s the feature in which you can download retro games from the internet directly to your Wii console. Currently the lineup includes a plethora titles from the original NES, SNES, N64, TurboGrafx 16, Neo Geo and Sega. Adding the Commodore 64 games–a move that clearly tightens their lead in the retro department for consoles–will only add to the joy that is the Wii.
