Using the workaround below, you can view the entries for these 3 Wii VC titles right on your PC. Now, it says the price for these games will be free, but this may just be a funciton of viewing them on a PC based interface, or they may have simply not filled in the point values yet. Let's hope it is a real Christmas miracle, though. If you cannot view the pages, click on the link at the end of this post to see images of the store that we captured. Rumor mill for now. (Thanks, Fro, Unifin)

Even if the FREE is just a rumor I sure as hell hope that SMB is coming next Monday. I've been saving my extra 500 points just for SMB. If they give it away for free then HELLLLL YEAHHH!

Yes we understand that, but Nintendo also stated that they had a surprise for Wii owners on Christmas. So, who knows at this point...

truth. try to use that nowadays and get ready for some blistered thumbs. it was impressive back in the day with all of the abuse it could take though. i used to throw that thing all over the place when i was a kid.

I heard the rumor was debunked, but I'd be seriously pissed off if we don't get some freebies on Christmas lol

seiferguy · 12-20-2006, 04:07 PM

There won't be a free virtual console game. Read any gaming news site. Oh well. At least we're getting Toe Jam and Earl.

I already have like 5 different copies of Super Mario Bros. (and that's not including ROMs) so no need to buy it anyways

Virtual Console needs a feature that you need to blow into the console before you play NES games...
