I first wrote about the possibility of Japanese Wii owners getting 2 more consoles back in December.

Well, according to NintendoWiiFanboy.com starting in February Japanese Wii owners will be available to get Sega Master System games via their Virtual Console.

Another cool aspect of the Master System getting added is that you’ll also be able to play old Game Gear games, as the two used the same hardware. So with the Game Gear being added, this marks the first hand held games available through the Wii VC.

Hopefully it won’t take Nintendo long to add these new additions to the U.S. Virtual Console, I could go for playing some old 8 bit classics.
