Nintendo News | Commodore 64 on Revolution Virtual Console?

By Adam Riley 31.03.2006 11

There has been a lot of debate going on since the announcement of the Hudson/NEC Turbo Graphix and Sega Genesis/MegaDrive games being included in Nintendo's Virtual Console plans and Next-Gen.biz decided to push some more on the subject. Below is an interesting little snippet from the interview with Beth Llewelyn, Nintendo America's Senior Director of PR:



Next Gen: Tell us about the decision to extend the library of games for the Virtual Console.



Beth Llewelyn: It's an exciting way to build up the library. We certainly have a great library of legacy games and it adds excitement to add Sega's in as well.



NG: Where will it end. Commodore 64 games?



BL: Everyone is asking that! Who knows. There are discussions going on all the time behind closed doors.

Hey, there were a lot of decent C64 games, even if they were extremely basic! Bring it on, basically! Smilie

Commadore games would rock!

Sale them for 10p-50p each or something.

Sure, lots were rubbish.

But Mercenary:Escape from Targ is mind blowing in scale and concept even today.

Amiga games would be good, then we could have the games solid-polygon based sequal.

Cool, C64 games without the loading times + dodgy cassettes could be worth a revisit.

This is major, I would love to re-visit some of those old games.

Yes they were basic but some were truly addictive and very fun to play.
