Virtual Console

Virtual Console give ones the ability to play classic Nintendo and SEGA games from the NES, SNES, N64, Genesis/Mega Drive, TurboGrafx and Commodore 64. Players can buy these games at the Wii Shop Channel using "Wii Points". Points can be purchased online with your Wii, or in a store. The games generally cost less than $10. There are quite a few and Nintendo updates this service at least once a week. The games are played using the Wii Classic controller (all games), GameCube controller (all games, but not very well with SNES games) or the Wii remote (NES/TG16/MD only).

SNES games
''*Note: The GameCube controller does not map well to the Super Nintendo Entertainment System button layout. It will probably be easier to play these games with the Classic Controller instead.''
