By Tanisha Berg


Nintendo have been at the forefront of games for a couple of decades. They have produced gaming icons such as Mario and Zelda. Inevitably though even the most committed of gamers may have lost a console or two along the way and with it a number of classic titles. However there are a number of games for Wii U virtual console available that will allow you to relive those classic gaming memories without the need to trawl through markets or online to find old consoles!

The titles available will depend on the region you are buying from. For example in Europe you are restricted to the PAL titles available for download. However with 101 currently available titles it is likely that there will be something available that will be ideal for your personal gaming needs!

As with movies games you can choose from a variety of genres. Nintendo have generally been seen as the more family friendly console. Therefore a lot of the time when people think of their games they tend to think of platformers featuring colourful characters that are not particularly offensive.

Another benefit is that this is not just putting the games onto a console. It also takes advantage of the unique controls of the Wii U. Many of the titles you can download have been retweaked in order to give both the classic gaming experience while at the same time giving you the benefit of playing them on a new machine.

There are over a hundred titles currently available on the virtual console. They range from the Nintendo Entertainment System and the SNES to machines from other games companies such as the Sega Master System, the Neo Geo and even some titles that were previously only available in the arcade. Therefore it is possible to get a wide array of games.

The titles currently available include games from the Nintendo Entertainment System, the Super Nintendo Entertainment system as well as handheld consoles the Game Boy Advance and Nintendo DS. There are also set to be titles available from the N64 available for download and there are likely to be others available in future. What you may not know is you can also get downloads of titles from non Nintendo consoles such as the Sega Master System, the Commordore 64 and even some titles that were only available to play in arcades!

Some people may wonder why you would want to download from the virtual shop as opposed to purchasing older consoles from second hand stores. One reason is simple and practical. There is always the risk that a second hand console or game could be damaged and over time you may not be able to play it.

There is also the fact that the downloadable versions of the titles will have extra features that take advantage of the Wii U controls. It is worth looking at reviews before you download in order to find this out as well as getting an idea of how much the download will cost. In short the Wii U virtual console is the perfect place if you want to enjoy retro Nintendo games without the fuss!
