I never really played these games but could be interesting.

I don't think these guys made it, but I'd also love Moon Patrol.

I'm pretty sure Atari renounced all claims to the hardware end of their business back when they were part of Hasbro.

One of my CS teachers last year who works for MS on the XBox liked to quote that all the time.

Though Commodore 64 games on the VC would be a pretty cool, provided they offered Amiga games as well.

And I'd actually BUY THEM, too. The reason? Can't find a goddamn working Amiga emulator and the games on the internet.
NES, SNES, etc. emulators and ROMs are a dime a dozen.

Yep, and that they *might* include the emulated games with the remakes. *Might*. So this whole topic is way, way off base. Sadly, it seems most aren't even reading the story or the following topics pointing this out either. :-S

Apperantly there was an issue of Retro Gamer in which System 3 announced they were bringing some old games to the Wii, DS, and PSP. Here's another link to Shacknews about the same subject...

I find it hard to believe that these games would get pressed on disc, but I could be wrong.
I guess that's what I get for not cross checking more closely.
Another quick update...
Some of these games are being published by "Play It". Here is their official website...
Play It!
It does list one Wii game, but doesn't say if it's coming to the VC.

Anybody have the latest Nintendo Power?

More Epyx titles may be on the way, and Wii versions (possibly for Virtual Console) are also in the works.
POSSIBLY, but not confirmed...
