Wii “Christmas surprise” revealed: free VC games?

news via nintendic

Not so long ago Reggie promised us a “Christmas surprise” for the Wii, and massive speculation ran through the Internets. Browser channel? Mario Galaxy demo? In my opinion, it’s something almost as good and far more plausible than that demo: Super Mario Bros., Toe Jam & Earl, and R-Type are going to hit the Virtual Console on Christmas, for free! (We hope. Doubt is a terrible thing.)

We here at Nintendic absolutely love that price point. This news comes from the NeoGAF forums, with screenshots obtained from switching some things on Firefox and visiting the Wii shop on your computer. ICGamers Wiki guru Messiah checked into it himself, and he says it’s legit, so we’re not basing this newspost on forum speculation.

Free!!!! no way. Probably the VC Wii games are listed as free before release... Hope not.

That's Super MARIO Brothers, just to clarify. I wonder if it'll be a "one day only" deal, where you have to "buy" it on Christmas day or you have to buy it...
