Nintendo have excited all nostalgia laden fan-boys by announcing Virtual Console support for classic Commodore 64 titles.

Remember the eighties?  Some of us remember the hair, some the fashion, some music, but the real nerds remember the Commodore 64 personal computer.

“We are extremely pleased to be working with Commodore Gaming to provide even more retro hits for Wii owners to choose from on Virtual Console," said Laurent Fischer, managing director of European marketing and PR for Nintendo Europe.

"With over 184 classic titles now available to enjoy, Virtual Console on Wii is a great way for users to access a breadth of classic retro games.

"We hope that this great choice of games will bring nostalgia to our gaming fans, while an entirely new generation of video game players can experience a host of classic games for the very first time."

No dates or titles are available, but Europe should be the first to see the 500 Wii point games “soon”.
