and I'm so glad Nintendo is doing this for the Wii.

Already, at launch, 12 games throughout the history of gaming were available, including Pinball (Nintendo Entertainment System), Sonic the Hedgehog (Sega Genesis), SimCity (Super Nintendo Entertainment System), and Super Mario 64 (Nintendo 64)

Allowed me to download a lot of classic nintendo and sega games to play on the Wii.

: the Wii Points Card allows you to purchase classic video games from the NES, Super NES, Nintendo 64, Sega Genesis, and Turbo Grafix 16 consoles and download them onto your Wii console.

I remember when i was young playing on my nintendo 64 and my friends super nintendo

This makes most Nintendo NES System games $5 USD/500 Points, most Super Nintendo and

Legend of the Seven Stars (Super Nintendo), and Mario Kart 64 (Nintendo 64)

was able to purchase my classic nintendo games on the wii shop channel just fine.

The original NES was mono( the Wii versions of these NES games can be played in full stereo), the Sega Genesis's audio cables could not be played on a stereo(the Wii's Genesis's games can and even though the Super Nintendo and Nintendo 64 systems audio cables could be hooked up to a stereo receiver the Wii versions of the same games sound twice as good.
