We all know you can get practically any Nintendo game ever made for an emulator at a price of $0.00. But due to an announcement from Nintendo regarding the Wii (aka revolution) you may be able to play the classics for about $10.00 a pop on their latest console. Sure you’re technically losing $10.. but to play the classics on the old floor model stored in your parents basement again may just be worth every dime!

Iwata (Nintendo President … I sooo want that title) revealed that games for Nintendo’s “virtual console” that will allow Wii owners to play old titles on their consoles [that] will be priced at Â¥500 and Â¥1,000, roughly US$4.50 to US$8.99.

Personally I love the idea because to this day I still can’t get my hands on a copy of Dig Dug II for NES that brings back the old days. As for me however I will continue to play my Super Mario Bros III on my vintage 1983 origional system… lets face it, it just won’t be the same without the square carple tunnel inducing controller… however as for me and every other 18 – 20 something this is awesome news in the vintage gaming market.

So put on your (origional) Ninja Turtles T-Shirt (snug fit now-a-days) make yourself a glass of Ovaltine and stay up WAY past your bed time defeating the many faces of Coopa… no warps allowed!
