Nintnendo has signed a deal with Commodore to bring classic Commodore 64 games to the Wii Virtual Console. This is certainly good news for really old school gamers who played the old system "back in the day" and should allow the current generation of gamers to get a glimpse of some of gamings earliest roots. The first games out the door are International Karate and Uridium which I`m sure John will wax on about in the comments of this post.

AH yes IK. Actually I was more of a fan of IK+ than IK. Seeing the Karate Champ in the arcade back in the day I was excited to see a copy of it appear on the C64 without having to use two joysticks to control your fighter. I'd rather see IK+ than IK with IK+ having three fighters and also bonus stages of deflecting objects. Glad to see some of the classics coming back. Seeing as I have an emulator and a ton of the old stuff, it's doubtful I'll purchase anything in this area but the exposure of classic C64 games to a new generation is a good thing.
