Nah, they'll expect us to place a second TV on top of the first and - et voila! A DS emulator...

From GamesTM magazine, with thanks to Go Nintendo:

“Something big is coming to the Virtual Console, something that, for the past decade, certain corners of the retro community have been crying out for. I wish I could say more, but the uncertainties of publishing schedules prevents me from spilling the beans too early. Nevertheless, if what we’ve heard turns out to be true, the virtual console is about to become a lot more interesting and looks like it might turn out to be much more valuable to dedicated retro gamers than we first thought.”

I played Zelda in Seoul today. Speechless.

I should have my Wii in less than a week if all goes well

PREDICTION: Wii surpasses overall 360 sales by July, PS3 never comes close.

My vote goes to "Online Multiplayer," which would instantly make VC the best games console of all time. But if that happens, we won't see it until Nintendo finally opens up their online service sometime around next summer.

It would be great to see Saturn emulation. The Wii is capable enough to handle it. Give me the chance to play Nights with the Wiimote, please please please.

Apart from that, I have no idea what Games TM is alluding to. I hate it when these geeks play around with stupid little hints and such. They only do it for their own egos - it's a cheap-ass Comic Book Guy ploy. Just tell me the news and leave it at that, okay?

Eventually, I'd expect VC to include nearly all the consoles, including MAME, and home computers like Atari 800 (4-player MULE!), C64 and Amiga. Heck, throw in PC emulation so we can play Civilization 2 and all those great click-and-point adventures.

Nintendo could really go crazy with VC if they wanted to. The question, then, is are they willing to go that route, or will they be happy enough to simply repackage Mario and Zelda games again and again? It's too early to say, but the success of the Wii will enable some great opportunities.

I recon MAME would be the way to go in all honesty, probably not exactkly MAME, but arcade emulation.

I just pray they make the games cheap enough, while I love the XBLA titles I think they're a tiny bit expensive if you want to start buying a coupel of dozen of them

I finally had the balls to put my US Wii online and do the update.
To be honest I was pretty scared of doing it due to the amount of
errored units I read about.

LUCKILY all went ok. I had a nosey around the Wii Shop and VC.
Noticed they are saying the internet browsing is coming soon.
Also I turned on the standby update facility and now the led on the
front is yellow instead of red on standby mode.

I didn't think the online side was as slick as the 360 to be honest.
But I suppose it is early days.

Picross for the DS. I loved the GB version - this will be a must buy for me.

[GeeZa]

Yay, my crappy old Freeloader disk happily boots my much-loved Japanese version of Winning Eleven 6. I can now play footie on the Wii. Man I'm rusty. Now I need to find a damn option file.

[Tanatoes]

My vote for the mystery VC announcement: Jaguar games! Tempest 2000 for all! (Okay, so that's pretty far fetched.)

I bought a Freeloader so that I could play european games on my US GC. But will it work both ways?

Catz DS - is it just me, or do the cats look a little odd?
