They just released an updated list of the Virtual Console games slated for 2006. It seems a bit lacking in the Nintendo department, but some stellar Genesis games are on the list.

Included is an updated list of the 2006 Wii titles and VC titles.

Will the Virtual Console have online capabilities; will I be able to play Ice Hockey with others online?

If not, boo you Nintendo!

The VC has the capability to surpass XBL Arcade if two things happen:

1. Large Selection of Titles.
2. Online Capabilities.

Really, if all Nintendo did was work on porting old games onto the VC and re-designing the interface and implementing online gameplay, they could win the console war. Who wouldn't want to play the countless classics on NES, SNES, Genesis, N64, online? Imagine the possibilities...
