Capcom Drop Coins into Wii Virtual Console

Capcom has confirmed plans to introduce some of its classic arcade hits on the Wii Virtual Console service in Japan this summer.

The first of hopefully many releases will be a side scrolling platformer Sonson. Featuring a monkey boy and a co-op pig, the game took many a coin back in 1984 and eventually landed on the Famicom (remaining only in Japan).

With Capcom having a strong arcade presence in the West, it is likely that some of these games will eventually make their way over, but for now plans remain Japan-exclusive.
