Yup, and it was wonderful. The Wii also had the virtual console for older titles that worked great, but some of those didn't make the transition and you have to re-purchase them (if I'm not mistaken, they are always online subscription based titles)

I think you can still play SNES games on the Wii, you just need to modify the console.

You can do pretty much anything on the wii. It was so successful and so easy to crack and mod that it's got everything you'd want, including virtual console injections
