Nintendo has shoved the MSX game Aleste onto Virtual Console at the last minute telling us that retro computer games are available on Virtual Console. The game was made in 1988 by Compile and it is not a really good game as we are told with all the lowdown and flickering, but there is a cool feature when you press the minus button. A menu comes up controlled by the Wiimote cursor. The menu lets you change the music you hear. You can change the the basic bloops of the computer's built-in sound hardware or the upgraded melodies of the optional FM card attachment, or you can change the two fire buttons around.
Now, there is the question if we will be seeing these games in North America or Europe but because there Japanese retro we will have to wait and see. But since the release of a MSX game it opens up a whole world of possibilities like: Castlevania, Dragon Quest, Dragon Slayer, and the original Metal Gear games.

MSX games were awesome. The original Metal Gear was released on MSX, so I'd expect this to be released sometime around MGS4's release, just so Wii owners don't feel left out.
