[url="http://www.zelda101.com"]WolfLink22[/url] lets us in on a reply direct from Nintendo about some questions he asked about the Nintendo Wii's Virtual Console feature. It looks like it's going to be great. Check out their reply:

"You asked some great question. This is what we currently know about the Wii's Virtual Console feature. It will have downloadable access to 20 years of fan-favorite titles originally released for Nintendo 64, the Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES) and even the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES). It will also feature a "best of" selection of Sega Genesis and TurboGrafx titles. ...

------

The Virtual Console will allow you to do more than download and play your favorite classic games. Other material will be made available as well. More importantly, the Virtual Console will be home to new games conceived by indie developers whose creativity is larger than their budgets.

There will be an extremely simple interface built into Wii's system software, allowing easy access to games and other material. With it, accessibility will be as intuitive and easy as, say, iTunes. More details will be revealed in the months leading up to Wii's release. For the latest information on Wii, please visit:

cool! Doesn't that mean that I can put my own games on there for everyone to play?

yes and no, I think you'd need to ask nintnedo to be able to put it on there,but if you get eveyrhting like that out the way then i think you can

That would be the ultimate dream for the game im making because it would work well with the wii controller..have i just said too much about the control scheme? o well its a pc game, not easy to transfer you might think

Huh. Funny they didn't specify WHAT other functions. See, that's the thing with Nintendo, they're always keeping secrets. "Oh, it's going to have a certain thing but we can't tell you 'cause it's a secret!" That's kinda what they're saying and it's kinda like a T.V. sitcom where it's this couple's Anniversary and the husband forgets and doesn't know what to buy, and they're liein' so they can find something. I make wierd analogies, don't I?
