Hell, I own several C64's and I'm looking forward to this.  Playing games in VICE or whatever just doesn't give the right "feeling", if you know what I mean.  I do believe the Wii will provide just that.

C64 games was in fact the reason I bought the Wii in the first place.

Why would you get a Wii just for C64 games? Why not save yourself £150+ and gust emulate it on a PC?

I know that some will think of this as swearing in the church but.... here it goes: Get one! You won't regret it!

The kids have one here and it's just a brilliant little machine. Sure, the 360 and PS3 are claimed to have better graphics but... the games are so much fun to play, and the graphics ain't bad.

best still buy an Xbox for 30 quid, hack it and put ViceX on it and if you wanted a keyboard you can buy a USB cable for 3.99 and a USB keyboard for about the same price.

All in all it will cost you around 50 quid to get an Xbox playing any emulator going including the Amiga.

On all other points I'd agree with you but the Wii is at least as powerful as the XBOX - minus the programmable shaders but with a much more powerful fixed function pipeline.

Gives it a teeny bit of an edge in terms of throughput compared to the XBOX plus the cpus a lil' quicker.

Well, d'uh.  I never said the Wii runs the C64 games natively.  I said the Wii has got the FEELING, which the desktop computer emulators (for example VICE, just to pick one) don't have.  In my opinion.  You are free to feel different.

Why, I HAVE a C64 DTV.  And a real C64, and a C128.  And more to come.

Why not stick to the real C64, for the real look and feel? :-)

That's what I do (plus a x1541 cable that is)

I fail to be excited at the prospect of paying £3.50 for games that cost less when they were originally released.
