Wii Virtual Console lineup of retro games unveiled by Nintendo for 2006
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!

* Mario Bros.: Mario and Luigi punch turtles.

Sadly I doubt any extra features like online multiplayer will be added, Reetesh, it’s no Xbox Live Arcade.
Still, I’m really looking forward to picking up some highly rated Genesis & SNES games I’ve never played. I’ll be downloading at least one game per console at launch to test how well it works.
