Commodore 64 joins VC lineup |
Listed in: Wii Tags: Commodore 64, Jeff Minter, Wii Points

Old-school gaming fans who've made it a habit to unearth gems from the past using the Nintendo Wii's Virtual Console service will get another precious piece of history very soon. The Commodore 64 has been included in the list of systems that VC will emulate.The Commodore 64 is among the front runners of the 8-bit gaming era during the 1980s. It's a mini-computer in its own right, and is one of the better-selling systems of its day.
The Commodore 64 dished out classic titles such as Geoff Crammond's Sentinel, Head Over Heels and Jeff Minter's Attack of the Mutant Camels among others. Each title will cost 500 Wii Points. Not bad for an elaborate and fun history lesson.

It's more than history for me, it's nostalgy...
The first computer that entered my home as a kid. :))
but 500 points seems a lot for what it is.

"Nintendo is the only company that charges for the games"
Nintendo is charging for a downloadable service. Any rolyalties due goes to the author of the software. Time and time again you prove how much of an idiot you are. Here you say Nintendo is the only company doing this? Microsoft and Sony do the SAME EXACT thing. So as usual, you just have you head up your a$$ and will say anything.
"That would be like paying Microsoft a royalty every time you run an emulated ROM on the PC."
No, it wouldn't. WRONG AGAIN. Most of the software you speak of is run ILLEGALY.
"Anybody that pays $5 for 20 year old ROM that should be free is a moron"
1. Who said it should be free? You? Who the hell are you besides a nobody?
2. The only moron here is you.
"just like anybody that pays $400 plus for an overclocked Gamecube"
Who paid $400? Someone that got screwed from high demand? The Wii does not and will never cost $400. You keep running around like a jacka$$ saying this and regardless of how many times you say it, it will never come true.
"with 3/4 of its games being inferior ports from other systems."
That's a down right lie.
"Of course, ISOHaven included."
Myself as with COUNTLESS OTHERS enjoy their Wii very much. That "should" tell you something but you're too much of an imbecile to understand or to "get it".

Sure! Because as we all know there are TONS of C64 fanboys running around.
However, I find is hilarious that you would tag your credibility (or lack there of) to the term "Wii-tards".
That's ok, we all know you can't think for yourself and you rely on people like Mr. Nonsense to do your thinking for you.
Since you agree that all Wii owners are retarded or at least admit that "makes sense" then everyone else knows exactly where to file your responses.
HAHAHA!!! Too much fun!

What's the matter? Got nothing to say about the FACT that you claim all Wii owners are retarded as you STATED made "sense"?
Come on explain to us all just how retarded Wii owners can be. Quit trying to guess ages and actually SAY SOMETHING that has meaning.
I'm got a strong feeling you can't.

Like he stated, the Wii isn't $400 o_O
I understand about the whole buying-an-outdated-game-when-you-can-get-it-free issue, I've got my PSP and PC for that, but some people actually like to purchase it to stay fair and support Nintendo, or just don't even know about it. And how come Microsoft and Sony do this too?
Calling Wii owners idiots and dropping the fanboy word without even knowing if they also like other consoles is just screwed up too.
