From CVG, it was reported on Kotaku that the redesign Japanese Virtual Console site is now displaying eight console boxes when originally there was only six. Wait six? Yep, they’re counting the TurboGrfax-CD and the TurboGrafx-16 as one console. So what are the new consoles to expect? Many are speculating that the Sega Master System(the NES’s nemesis during the 80’s 8-bit wars) is definitely going to be one of them. As for the other, well nothing yet but I’m guessing it may just be one of Nintendo’s portable consoles…perhaps the Gameboy, Gameboy Color….heh, Virtual Boy..?

Who knows. But whatever Nintendo decides to do, it’ll only just benefit them more ($$$). The Wii itself has hit it’s one year mark last month and Nintendo’s Shinji Hatano revealed that the Virtual Console sales has made $33 million dollars so far from the 7.8 million downloads as of this November.

The Sega Master System, Nintendo’s first formidable foe.

Personally, I hope they do bring the Sega Master System over to the Virtual Console. Being a former owner of one, I always did enjoyed the technical superiority of it over the NES, despite it totally getting destroyed in sales in the US. Nonetheless, that would be a day to remember when seeing two total enemies come together again as partners on the Wii..
