D4 Enterprise just opened up a new area of their "Project MSX"
website that provides information on the
MSX game(s) available on the Japanese Virtual Console. This site, which is designed similarly to the VC sites operated by
Sega and
Hudson, is going to be an
excellent resource for learning about obscure MSX games as they come out, with boxarts, screenshots and game descriptions.
The page for the sole MSX game currently available,
Aleste, revealed surprising, previously unknown information about the Wii's MSX emulator: specifically, that
Aleste supports the use of
USB keyboards, in addition to the Wiimote, GameCube controller, and Classic Controller. It makes sense since the MSX is
a computer, but this is the first new control option for a Virtual Console game since the service began.
