Official logo of the Virtual Console

TheVirtual Console was a service available on theWii, theNintendo 3DS, and theWii U. It allowed players to download games that were originally for older consoles, including someSuper Mario games on theNintendo Entertainment System (all models),SNES (Wii, Wii U, andNew Nintendo 3DS),Nintendo 64 (Wii and Wii U),Game Boy Advance (Nintendo 3DS ambassadors and Wii U),Nintendo DS (Wii U),Game Boy (Nintendo 3DS), andGame Boy Color (Nintendo 3DS).

With the discontinuation of the Wii Shop Channel in January 2019 and the Nintendo eShop for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U in March 2023, Virtual Console games can no longer be purchased. Many of the games that were available on Virtual Console are available in theNintendo Classics library offered through theNintendo Switch Online service.

History

Super Mario Bros. on the game select of the preliminary Virtual Console at E3 2006

A preliminary version of the Wii's Virtual Console was demonstrated at E3 2006, along with theClassic Controller. Participants could play demos of five classic games on it, each game being for a different console; of those games, three are installments of theSuper Mario series:Super Mario Bros. (Nintendo Entertainment System),Super Mario World (Super Nintendo Entertainment System), andSuper Mario 64 (Nintendo 64). The game selection menu has a selection screen for each game. Each screen shows a large banner of the game's name, a side view of the game's original box art, and a faint image of the console it was created for. During gameplay, once the player has progressed up to a certain point, the gameplay would stop and display a thank you notice, allowing the next attendee to try out the Virtual Console kiosk.^{[1][better source needed]}

Cost

Wii Virtual Console games were bought withWii Points via theWii Shop Channel, and were redeemable either through digital purchase or from a Wii Points Card. Since March 26, 2018, Wii Points could no longer be added to the Wii Shop Channel, and Wii Points added prior to said date remained usable until January 31, 2019.

Nintendo 3DS and Wii U Virtual Console games were bought with eShop credits via theNintendo eShop, either from purchashing them digitally or from redeeming a code on a Nintendo eShop Card, a successor to the Wii Points Card.

Pricing

Notes

Wii

• Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels was only available in Europe and Australia from September 15, 2007 until October 1, 2007. It was then still available to freely re-download for those who purchased it while it was initially available. On August 22, 2008, it was made available again, this time without any time restrictions.
  • This is also the first time that the NES version was made available outside Japan, having been remade for the SNES elsewhere. Thus, its title screen reads "Super Mario Bros. 2", its Japanese name, and on the Wii Shop Channel and Wii U eShop it is considered a import game.
• Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars was regarded by Nintendo as the 250th game to be released on the Virtual Console in North America. Its European Virtual Console release was the first official release of that game in the region.
• Timed demos of several Virtual Console games are included inSuper Smash Bros. Brawl, all of which star the game's various fighters. The only defaultSuper Mario title isSuper Mario Bros.;Donkey Kong,Super Mario Bros. 2, andSuper Mario World are also included, but they must first be unlocked.
• For reasons unknown, the NES version ofYoshi's Cookie was de-listed in all regions except South Korea, and it can be re-downloaded by those who purchased at its time of availability.
• In November 2012, theDonkey Kong Country SNES trilogy was unlisted from the Wii Shop Channel in all regions except South Korea. On November 25, 2012, the games became "unavailable for purchase" on the European Wii Shop, though they were removed in North America without any prior warning. Nearly two years later, in October 2014, theDonkey Kong Country trilogy was released on the Wii U Virtual Console, and were added back to the Wii Virtual Console around the same time. It is unknown why the games were unlisted, but it could be due to legal issues with Microsoft, who acquired the games' development studio,Rare, in 2002. At its time of removal, eachDonkey Kong Country title was still available to be re-downloaded by players who had purchased the games during their time of availability.
• Transfer Pak functions and online N64 Tournaments like the Mario Tennis Ring Tournament mode are not supported.
• N64 & Neo-Geo games don't support suspend functionality.
• N64 Controller Pak functionality is not supported.
• N64 games do not support the Rumble Pak functionality, despite GameCube controllers having built-in rumble controls.

Nintendo 3DS

• Only NES titles support multiplayer due to the GB, GBC, and GBA (Ambassadors only) games being too complicated to recode the games to add wireless features and there being no link port for multiplayer. NES games that have simultaneous multiplayer utilize 3DS Download Play, while NES games that only have alternating multiplayer are played on a single 3DS. To alternate players when playing NES games, simultaneously press and to display a pair of controllers in the lower-right corner of the top screen; press while they are displayed to switch control between players 1 and 2.
  • This feature can also be used when playing Game Boy titles to change the screen color from gray to the classic green.
• While loading Game Boy, Game Boy Color, or (Ambassadors only) Game Boy Advance titles from the HOME Menu, by holding or the game on the top screen will be shrunk to its original resolution.
  • Game Boy and Game Boy Color titles will also display virtual versions of their respective consoles surrounding the screen to give the illusion of playing on the actual console. GBA, DS, and DSiWare games just shrink the screen to the screen size from the original consoles.
• Many games have been given the ability to create one save file each. This can be disabled or enabled by simultaneously holding,, and.
• GBA Ambassador games do not rely on hardware emulation; instead, they rely on hardware simulation with the 3DS booting into the GBA's firmware to play the games natively, the same way the 3DS handles DS backwards compatibility. Due to this, GBA games do not support Virtual Console features like Save and Restore Points, sleep mode, and Home Menu Access.
  • This occurs because the 3DS is not powerful enough to emulate the GBA in the same way it does other Virtual Console games. (This is also why GBA games are not available for purchase on the 3DS eShop.) Through hacking, it is possible to load GBA games into a regular Virtual Console emulator, but performance is slow and the ability to do this was removed in a later update.

Wii U

• The player can create save states and remap controller buttons. For GBA games, there are options to change scaling, enable pixel smoothing, and view scans of the original paper manual.
• The Wii Remote can be used for SNES and GBA games if is held while the game loads.
• The NES games have a bilinear filter applied while the N64 games have a filter applied that doubles their resolution.
• N64 games support Rumble Pak functions, but won't support Transfer or Controller Pak functions.
• GBA and DS titles can only be played in single player mode.

Changes

Although Virtual Console games are mostly faithful to the originals, some games have received slight changes. Some of these modifications are deliberate, while others are the result of emulation glitches.
