First of all i dont know if this has been posted already but
Nintendo Wii is coming out and it has the ability to play old games such as orignal Nintendo games right? So my question is, are they going to be re-releasing original Nintendo, N64, games or just give you the option to play them?

Some people say its sad when I can walk them through FFVII in my head. I call it a gift.

You can buy them through the online interface. The Virtual Console's new games (since Indie folk can develop on them now as well) will cost between 500-1000 yen. I do not have a source on the retro game pricing, but I can't see it being much more than the price of new games.

It's a bit disappointing that you have to pay, but hopefully the price will be right. I'd love an iTunes kinda system...99 cents a game? I'm in!

Supposedly, Games will cost up to 10$, which will be the games newest for the GCN, and then older classics for the GCN will be, like 5-8$, N64=5$, SNES=2-4$, and NES and Videlectrix=1$ or less per game.

Genesis is unannounced yet, but ive heard it will resemble the $ of SNES games!

So we're going to have to buy an add-on to be able to download the games? Eh, that's ok if it's not too expensive.
