Wii U Virtual Console
The Wii U Virtual Console is the third and latest incarnation of the Virtual Console program which makes classic games available to be bought and downloaded at discount prices. This version is for the Wii U and represents a mix of consoles, including consoles that had previously been represented on the Wii Virtual Console and some handheld consoles that had not been covered by the 3DS Virtual Console. It launched in all regions on April 27, 2013, although a few games were made available early as part of a Trial Campaign.
The library launched with NES and Super NES games available. Game Boy Advance games were added in April 2014, then Nintendo DS and Nintendo 64 games were added in April 2015. Turbografx-16 games were initially added in December 2013 in Japan, and it eventually came to the other regions in July 2016. Japan also had MSX games starting in December 2013.
