PR - Nintendo Adds Commodore 64 to Virtual Console - Image 1Although the Wii homebrew scene has been enjoying the Commodore 64 emulator for some time now, Nintendo only recently remembered about the classic console.

Now that they have though, they're adding three new Commodore classics to the Virtual Console: The Last Ninja, International Karate, and Pitstop II. Each costs 500 Wii Points.

Needless to say, these are very old games, older than most of the other old games on the VC, but they're enjoyable nonetheless, if only for the nostalgia factor. And they're cheap.

The Last Ninja is a 1-player game where you get to play Armakuni, the um... last ninja... who swore to take revenge for the deaths of your fellow ninjas. International Karate is a 1-2 player fighting game. PitStop II is a 1-2 player racing game with split-screen support.
