Newsweek’s N’Gai Croal has the exclusive on the new Wii Channel that will allow us to finally download original Virtual Console games. Nintendo has finally gone on record saying that both major publishers will be involved as well as indie developers! Even Nintendo themselves are working on original games to launch the service. Here’s some more details:
