Tips For Choosing Games For Wii U Virtual Console

By Tanisha Berg


The Wii U offers a wide variety of games. However there will be occasions where you think of older titles. These are the favourites people remember and want to share. However it is worth noting that there are games for Wii U virtual console available from a wide variety of older gaming devices.

As the name suggests there is no need to get an additional machine in order to download these onto your Wii U. There are a list of titles available from throughout the couple of decades that Nintendo have been producing titles. What you choose largely depends on your personal preference, the type of console you may have owned before or you may want to gamble and try out a classic everyone has raved about that may have been before your time so that you can see what all the fuss is about!

The furthest back are the ones available from the original Nintendo Entertainment System. These include classic titles such as Super Mario Bros, Zelda and Punch Out. Super Mario Bros is often credited as one of the iconic platformers. Its creator Shigeru Miyamoto was also behind the creation of Zelda, a beloved fantasy franchise that is still going strong to this day while Punch Out offers an arcade style boxing game that is pure fun!

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.

It should also be remembered that you could also get side scrolling beat em up games like Double Dragon on the system. There is a broad range of genres available covering everything from puzzles to stunt bikes. The chances are you will find a game that you want to play!

There are also titles originally designed for the handheld consoles available. As with the NES and SNES a lot of the big name characters are available as well as numerous original titles that solely came out through the handheld consoles. A good example of this are the Wario series of games that offered gamers the chance to be the bad guy for a change!

The cost of the consoles depends on the age of the machine. Therefore a title you download from the Super Nintendo will be a bit more expensive than one that you download from the NES. If you previously downloaded titles on the Wii virtual console then you can also transfer them on to the Wii U.

As stated before you can get a diverse range of titles. It is worth looking online for reviews from people who have played games in the past. You can also look online for up to date information on the range of titles available and any future releases for the virtual console.
