NEC SuperGrafx Coming to Nintendo Wii

For all the old school gamers out there that may be old enough to remember the days of TurboGrafx 16 you are in for a treat with the Nintendo Wii’s latest offering in the Virtual Console market place on the Wii Online Store.

Nintendo will be making the NEC SuperGrafx available on the virtual console along with the few games that were available for the system before NEC cut their loses and called it quits in the console arena.

While this may not be the most exciting news to some, it is great to see all the old consoles from our childhood being brought back for a second spin around the block. Not only can we enjoy the nostalgia of the systems we grew up with but younger games can experience a piece of gaming history in the comfort of their own homes.
