Impossible Mission will be the first non Virtual Console title to be downloadable from the Wii Shop Channel.

Confirmation came from the pages of the official Nintendo Power magazine, backed up by Nintendo UK.

The remake of the classic Commodore 64 game was announced earlier this year. System 3 will be re-writing the game for today's technology, but will include a retro mode if you wish to lose yourself in gaming's glorious past.

The aim of Impossible Mission is to explore an evil professor's stronghold and put an end to his tampering with national computers. You'll have to race against the clock to search for pieces of a password to gain access to his inner-chambers, whilst avoiding deadly robots and collecting various power-ups.

It's also due out on PS2, PSP, and DS and is expected this summer.
