List of Wii U Virtual Console games

From NintendoWiki, your source on Nintendo information. By fans, for fans.
(Redirected from Wii U Virtual Console)
Jump to navigation Jump to search

This is a list of all Virtual Console releases for the Wii U. The Wii U Virtual Console service launched properly on April 23, 2013, and currently 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. Game systems from other companies 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. Note that while Nintendo have released Wii retail games for download on the Nintendo eShop, these are not considered to be Virtual Console titles.

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 (if it has been released on the Nintendo eShop for Wii U) for a lower price.

Family Computer / Nintendo Entertainment System

The Wii U Virtual Console service launched on April 17, 2013 in Japan and April 23, 2013 internationally with NES titles. NES Virtual Console titles are displayed through a filter that gives the effect of the game being displayed on an older television. Most NES titles released on the Wii U Virtual Console are priced at $4.99 (¥500, €4.99, £3.49, AUS$6.50) As of March 27th 2023 at 5:00 PM, it is impossible to purchase virtual console titles, unless already purchased.

Unless otherwise stated, these titles are compatible with the following controllers:

Nintendo 64

Nintendo 64 titles began to be added to the Nintendo eShop on April 1, 2015, following the Nintendo Direct. They are mostly available for the price of $9.99 (¥950, €9.99, £8.99, AUS$13.00)

Like the Wii Virtual Console releases, these titles do not support features which require expansions, such as the Controller Pak or Transfer Pak. However, titles that support the Rumble Pak use the controllers' built-in rumble capabilities. In addition to button configuration, Nintendo 64 titles also allow players to select from one of three different default control schemes based on the methods by which the original Nintendo 64 Controller is held.

These titles, unless otherwise stated, are compatible with the following controllers:

Game Boy Advance

In January of 2013, it was announced that Game Boy Advance titles would eventually start to be released on Wii U Virtual Console. These titles finally began to be released starting on April 3, 2014 worldwide. Game Boy Advance titles on the Virtual Console service cost the same prices as SNES titles. Game Boy Advance titles do not support multiplayer, as they require additional accessories. When accessing the digital manual, the player can view digital scans of the original release's manual.

The emulator used for Game Boy Advance Virtual Console titles was developed by M2 alongside Nintendo.[32]

Unless otherwise stated, Game Boy Advance titles are compatible with the following controllers:

Nintendo DS

The Virtual Console service began to add Nintendo DS titles on April 1, 2015, after the Nintendo Direct. Before this, a single Nintendo DS title, Brain Age: Train Your Brain in Minutes a Day!, was released in Japan as a free download between June 4 and June 30, 2014. Nintendo DS titles are generally priced at $9.99 (¥950, €9.99, £8.99, AUS$13.00).

Like Game Boy Advance titles, Nintendo DS games on Virtual Console do not support any form of multiplayer. Some games support the system's sleep mode function, which is automatically activated by pressing the HOME Button or accessing the Virtual Console menu. From the Virtual Console menu, the player can both configure their controls and adjust the layout of the Nintendo DS screens from a variety of settings. Certain titles also support the use of the Wii U GamePad's built-in microphone or the Wii U Microphone accessory for certain actions. In addition, the digital manuals for Nintendo DS games use scans from the original game manual.

Nintendo DS titles are exclusively controlled using the Wii U GamePad.
