A ton of “oldies” rated by the ESRB for the Wii Virtual Console

Go ahead and make fun of us, we don’t care. We love our retro games and we’re proud to say we’ve played them when they first came out on their respective consoles. The ESRB has recently given the go signal for several games that will be available in the soon to be released Virtual Console service for the Nintendo Wii.

A lot of old time gamers can now relive the glory days when they played these games on their NES or SNES. Some of these titles may seem familiar even to newer gamers since they’ve seen recent action on the new generation platforms (i.e. Ninja Gaiden and Castlevania). Either way it’s still good clean fun for everyone once the service becomes available on the Wii.

Here’s the ok’d list that we have so far and expect for it to get even longer as the service always has something new to offer gamers, young and old, alike:

• Alien Storm
• Castlevania II: SimonÂ’s Quest
• Crack Down
• ESWAT: City Under Siege
• Golden Axe III
• Impossible Mission (WiiWare download?)
• Ninja Gaiden 2: The Dark Sword of Chaos
• Pilotwings
• Pro Wrestling
• Super Turrican
• Super Turrican II
• Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: The Arcade Game
• Vectorman
• Zombies Ate My Neighbors
