Nintendo Japan has updated its Virtual Console website page, sparking speculation that the platf♛orm holder will imminently expand its offering of classic titles from systems o🍌f old.

As reported by , the redesigned site now displays eight console boxes despite the fact that there are only six systems currently supported on the Wii's Virtual Console, which enables Wii owners to download 🍌classic titles fꩲrom older systems such as its NES and SNES consoles.

Kotaku goes on to speculate that Master System games could be next🦩 to be added to the🀅 Virtual Console.

At the end of November Nintendo's Shinji Hatano revealed that the company had made $33 million (3.5 billion yen) from 7.8 million Virtual Console downloads. "We൩'re currently unsure if [the 3.5 billion yen figure] is a lot or low. They're not bad figures," h♚e added.

While Virtual Console revenues only ꦜmade up a fraction of Kyoto-based Nintendo's first half sales, 🐎which totaled 694 billion yen, $33 million isn't to be sneered at.

Although it🅘's only a possibility at the moment, it seems only natural that the firm would be planning to expand its Virtual Console service. It's probably 🅺only a matter of when and whether this redesign indicates that the move to do so could be made sooner rather than later.
