Commodore 64 Titles Join Wii's Virtual Console

[wraggster]

Gamasutra reports that several Commodore 64 games will be emulated on the Wii's virtual console.

From the article:

"Although no specific titles were named, the only indications so far are of titles from now defunct U.S. developer Epyx, maker of the likes of Impossible Mission and the Summer/Winter/World/California Games series. Best known for their work on the 8-bit Commodore 64 home computer, Epyx also designed the prototype Lynx console for Atari as well as several of its games."

Awesome news for retro fans and another reason to get a C64.

Whats your favourite Commodore 64 Games ?

Man it just keeps better and better. And its not even out yet.

It's awesome! What's next? amiga games?

[lexluthor]

Good but also bad. If they are only going to produce 10 games a month.. I would rather they be NES, SNES or N64 games rather than Commodore 64.

Aren't C64 games too out-dated?

Oh to hear the glorious sid majesty of Shadow of the Beast through my telly again, without getting my C64 or C64GS out or firing up my XBox. And since its not been said yet allow me to lower the tone slightly with the suggestion of Stroker, that 'its good to touch' line would bite Ninty in the arse if that appeared I think.
