Wii Virtual Console for All Your Favorite Classics!

Wii Virtual Console

We all have those old “classic” games that we miss, don’t we? You know, the original titles from the Super NES or the N64. Maybe we can still play new versions of them on our newer systems, but there was just nothing like the old original Donkey Kong or Super Mario Bros.

Well folks, get ready to Dig Dug away again, ’cause you can revisit many of those old games using the Wii’s Virtual Console feature! The Virtual Console, combined with the Wii Shop Channel, makes it possible to access lots of your favorite games for  NES, Super NES, N64, Sega Genesis, Sega Master System, and more! Ready to get started? Here’s an easy, step-by-step tutorial that will have you playing all your old games in no time!

  1. You will need some Wii Points to download your games. If you don’t currently have any, you can either purchase a Wii Points card from your local video game store or you can use your credit card to buy them on the Wii Shop Channel.
  2. Make sure your Wii can connect to the Internet. If you need help making that happen, you can take a look at my previous article on Wi-Fi for the Wii.
  3. Once you are at the Wii Menu, choose the Wii Shop Channel.
  4. Go to the Virtual Console area and choose the game you would like to download.
  5. Once your download has completed, your new (old!) game will show up in a new channel on your Wii Menu. Click this channel and you’re all ready to get a blast from your past!

The Wii Virtual Console… just one more of the features that make the Wii the best gaming console on the market today. If you haven’t tried it yet, you’re missing out!
