A reader, He Who Must Not Be Named, sent us a promotional image he somehow got his grubby hands on. It's a promotional illustration for the Nintendo Wii Virtual Console, presumably featuring characters from all the games that will be released in emulated form.

We're posting it not only because it's an attractive drawing, well suited for a desktop wallpaper, but because there's some sleuthing you can do here on what games will be released via the Virtua Console. ROB's appearance is puzzling: how do you play that game without the dusty robotic accessory collecting rust in your grandma's basement? Pac-Man with a raccoon tail and a phallically elongated nose is also puzzling. Florian Eckhardt
