annouced at GDC (games developers conference) today and reported on kotaku, it seems that there will indeed be commodore 64 games on the wii's virtual console.
my first thoughts were 'yeah! i get to play all those games i loved playing in grade 3 on huge floppy disks with that worn out joystick in ms. davis' class!'. but then i read a little lower.
The first titles to appear on the VC will be International Karate and Uridium, priced to go at 500 Wii points each.
excuse my french but, pardon eh moi?
you're saying that games that ran on a computer i wouldn't use as a paperweight now...well, maybe as a paperweight actually, but anyways, games that run on a computer that's over 20 years old are going to cost the same as NES games? in my first-and hopefully only use of internet lingo in this blog-WTF!
i mean come on! how is that the same value as an NES game. i'll gladly pay $5 for a working and easy to boot version of blades of steel or kirby, but commodore 64 games? f no.
just had to chip that in there. i think it's patently ridiculous.
either way, i've had not much more success with lost odyssey this week, haven't touched rock band for that same amount of time and got the skate. glitch i've heard so much about.
but that's about my week as it stands. the rest of it? there's a guy coming to look at our pipes (not like that you dirty minded jerks) tonight to try and fix the persistant wet patch in the middle of our living room (yay for carpet!) and i'm going to try to get off the first disk of lost odyssey by the weekend.
happy trails, pardners...
