Goldeneye Running on Wii via Virtual Console

By Jorge Ba-oh 04.07.2008 27

A clever hacker seems to have Goldeneye running on the Wii via the virtual console engine.

The game seems to run via a cleverly modded Virtual Console emulator that's used to run Nintendo 64 games downloaded from the Wii shop channel. Despite some glitches and the lack of a save function, it seems like an interesting step to seeing the much loved shooter on the Wii. Multiplayeer seems to run also, albeit a few slowdowns at times.

Thanks to GoNintendo for the tip.

The whole thing's pointless anyway, I mean, does anyone really buy stuff off the VC anymore? It was a novelty at first, but emulators just do the whole thing a lot better.
