SuperGrafx game queued up for release on Japanese Wii Virtual Console

[wraggster]

Retro game lovers, don't ever say Nintendo isn't looking out for you. Only months after hearing that the Wii's Virtual Console would be getting Sega Master System and Commodore 64 games, in flies word that at least one heralded SuperGrafx title is on its way, too. Granted, the Ghouls 'n Ghosts (or Daimakaimura, as it were) port is only slated for release in Japan at the moment, but we're keeping our increasingly less limber fingers crossed that it'll head to other parts of the world in short order. There's also no telling if any other titles from the console's library will be headed to the Wii, but given that we could count 'em all on two hands, we'd say chances are decently high.

Ralph Wiggum voice: What's a SuperGrafx??

Supergrafix was an "upgraded" PC engine of sorts. It only had six games released for it. I am guessing because the difference between the original PCE and this was minimal, people would rather just make PCE/CD games. This is a super announcement, because games for it are hard to find, let alone the system itself.
