Oh yeah. Virtual Console exists for a reason.
Of course, there are two kinds of classics: games I haven't played that everyone else touts as classics, and games I have played that I can't stop coming back to.
For instance, yes, I play old games like Zelda II that were before my time, and not-as-old games like Metroid Fusion that I never got my hands on back in the GBA days.
As for the other example, having grown up playing Mario 64, Ocarina of Time, Link's Awakening, Sonic the Hedgehog 1/2/3, etc, I have a hard time thinking of these games as "classics" in the same sense as games I didn't touch until I knew they were seen that way. I go back to them when I feel the urge, be it out of nostalgia or recognition of the quality of the games. But they exist in the same part of my mind as the likes of Pikmin 1 and The Minish Cap -- and I don't think those games are usually grouped with Mario 64 or Ocarina. :P
