List of Wii U Virtual Console games

This is a list of all Virtual Console releases for the Wii U. Currently, the Wii U Virtual Console service supports seven systems. The service began with NES and SNES games at launch, then expanded into Game Boy Advance titles, then with Nintendo 64 and Nintendo DS titles. Third-party game systems are also supported; in Japan titles for the MSX and TurboGrafx-16 (PC Engine) have been released, while in North America only titles for the TurboGrafx-16 have been released.

All Virtual Console titles support the Virtual Console menu feature, by pressing ZL or by tapping the screen on the Wii U GamePad. In this menu, players can create a restore point, a feature carried over from the Nintendo 3DS Virtual Console system, set the controller inputs, or adjust other settings depending on the game and system. In PAL territories, some games use the original 50Hz PAL release, while others use the North American NTSC release.

Wii Virtual Console titles that have been transferred to Wii U can be upgraded to the Wii U version for a lower price.

NES

NES Virtual Console titles are displayed through a filter that gives the effect of the game being displayed on an older television. Unless otherwise stated, NES titles released on the Wii U Virtual Console are generally priced at $4.99 (¥500, €4.99, £3.49, AUS$6.50).

These titles are compatible with the following controllers:

• Wii U GamePad
• Wii U Pro Controller
• Wii Remote
• Classic Controller (Pro, SNES, NES)
