With another month nearly in the books, Hudson has once again updated its list of TurboGrafx-16 games headed for the Wii's Virtual Console. In May, the publisher expects to see another quartet of offerings from the 16-bit-era console appear on Nintendo's downloadable game service. The slate of titles for the month consists of a pair of shoot-'em-ups in Blazing Lazers and Ordyne, as well as the action game Ninja Spirit and the Olympic-style World Sports Competition.

All games are currently listed with a May release window and a price of 600 Wii Points ($6). TurboGrafx-16 fans looking for something to tide them over until the next month's releases may be pleased to find that Hudson has also given the previously announced action game Shockman a Wii Virtual Console release date of April 30.

WTF? Why would you want to play old 16-bit games on a Wii? Surely the nostalgia factor isn't THAT compelling.

The TurboGrafx-16 was an 8-bit system, with 16-bit graphics chip capable of displaying 482 colors at once.

And yes, the nostalgia factor is compelling enough to warrant more game releases.
