Another interesting addition to the service is Tranformers: Convoy no Nazo , generally considered one of the worst Famicom games ever and the subject of one of the more hilarious episodes of Game Center CX... Read Full Story
Three games combined for Wii Ware and Virtual Console today.
The most interesting-looking of them all is Toki Tori , a puzzle game starring a pear-shaped chicken and a bunch of boxes and stuff.

Exercise is in every aspect of the Wii With Gamercize for the Wii you can not only play your GameCube discs with exercise but also you can play great classic games. I think the single biggest selling point of the Wii is it's respect of the Nintendo heritage, and the support is spelt out clearly with the Wii's Virtual Console.
