commodore64 roms 01 Rumor   Commodore 64 coming to VC?

As stated in the “Wii Shop Channel Update” below, Nintendo’s Wiikly update included hints to a big surprise coming in the near future.

In other news, the Wiikly Update has a fun surprise coming soon for all our fans. We can’t tell you the secret just yet but maybe we’ll offer you some hidden clues. From AZ to NC, if you’re a fan, your applause could rattle your walls, windows, door. You might enjoy this news whether you live in a brick house or Vanderbilt dorm. Even people living along Route 286 in rural Pennsylvania ought to be excited. It’ll feel like a bunch of birthday greetings and, really, who could ask for more? But that’s about all we can say for now, so be sure to check future Wiikly Updates.

Many were puzzled as to what this could mean.  However, after some futher thought, many seem to think the surprise is that Commodore 64 will be added to the list of Virtual Console games.  The following is a list of reasons stated so far.

  • “Brick House” is a song by the Commodores.
  • There’s a Commodore City in Pennsylvania just off Rt. 286.
  • The Beetles song “When I’m 64″ contains a line “Who could ask for more?”
  • Vanderbilt University’s mascot is the Commodore.
  • Rt. 64 runs from AZ to NC.

    meh I'm not too excited because obviously I grew up in a time past that, but it's good to have old systems & games on Virtual Console.
