You read that headline correctly: Later this year Wii owners (in Europe at least) will be able to download Commodore 64 games, beginning with International Karate and Uridium.

According to Next Generation, Nintendo promises that these titles “will be bolstered by regular updates to the line-up from the Commodore 64 back catalogue”.

The C64 titles, which will be downloadable from the Wii Shop Channel for 500 Wii points each, are currently only slated for European release. Um, boo? I think?
