Nintendo has finally put out a list of classic games you can download onto your Wii. When your Wii gets connected to the internet, you can download these so-called Virtual Console games from Nintendo’s online store to the Wii’s internal memory. 1UP added short descriptions to the NES, SNES, N64, Genesis & TurboGrafx-16 games. You’ll be able to download all these games by the end of December, 2006!

DK Jr. Not quite a classic? Who gave this noob the crack. Do you know how many quarters were gobbled up by that machine. As I recall it was one of the few games that you had to get in line to play, put your quarter on the dash or get the f–k out. that was how it was. DK Jr. is not only a classic, but it’s iconic!!!
