An unnamed source for Play Nintendo has released the following launch list for the Virtual Console, Nintendo's downloadable hub for classic games.
1. Bonk's Adventure
2. Castlevania
3. Duck Hunt
4. Excitebike
5. F-Zero
6. Kid Icarus
7. Legend of Zelda, The
8. Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time
9. Mario Kart 64
10. Metroid
11. Mortal Kombat
12. New Adventure Island
13. Ninja Gaiden
14. OutRun
15. Pac-Man
16. Prince of Persia
17. Punch-Out!!
18. R-Type
19. Rayman 2
20. Sonic the Hedgehog
21. Star Fox
22. Super Mario 64
23. Super Mario Bros
24. Super Mario Kart
25. Super Mario World
26. Tecmo Bowl
In addition, at least five previously unreleased games that are in development will be joining this list.
If true, this is the kind of selection that gamers everywhere would hope for! Would Nintendo release so many hits right at launch? Doing so would leave less for later, but given Nintendo's deep well of classic games, perhaps they've spread them out to keep Wii owners interested. Maybe Nintendo's really trying to work every advantage they have against the already entrenched Xbox 360 and the soon to come PlayStation 3? Either way, this generation of gaming is heating up to give gamers more than ever before!
Thanks Dume!
