Microsoft Virtual Console

Microsoft Virtual Console is an upcoming multi-emulating video game console with an add-on device. Parts of the video game console include a CD-ROM slot on the bottom and a cartridge slot on the top, which eventually hooks up to any TV set. It was reportedly in development by Microsoft and will be released around September 1, 2008 in Japan, the U.S., the U.K. and Australia.

All of the video game systems in either arcade, console, computer or handheld from the first-generation era to the present will be featured on Microsoft Virtual Console Creator as emulators that can be installed on any PC (either Windows, Macintosh or Linux), using the Virtual Console Creator CD-ROM on a CD-ROM device.

This video game system will have a website to feature 5.5 billions of ROMs to be available for free downloading, which expects to be launched on September 1, 2008. Also, a large number of tools to be designed for Microsoft Virtual Console, which includes clones of hardware for video game systems and 10-button pad controllers, will be released around September 1, 2008 in Japan, the U.S., the U.K. and Australia.
