Selecting Games For Wii U Virtual Console

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!

Some people may be cynical about this. They may ask why you should download titles when there are places you can purchase old or second hand consoles. However the problem is some of these titles can be very hard to track down and often the best ones will be the very ones people do not want to sell and as a consequence if you can buy them they will be very expensive!

There is also the fact that you may not necessarily want a load of consoles in your house in order to play the one or two titles that you really want to play. Instead of cluttering your home with dusty consoles and complicated wiring you can simply download the titles you want instead.

However it is important to remember that cute and colourful does not necessarily mean easy or childish! As any committed gamer will tell you the classic Mario and Zelda titles may seem initially easy to pick up and play but once you get into them they are rich in detail and very well designed.

One of the best examples of this is Street Fighter 2 Turbo. While there were beat em up before and since this was the one that many consider to be the founder of this particular genre and established many of its conventions such as the grand special moves and quirky character celebrations at the end of the fight. As the name suggests it is slick and fast paced but it is also exciting, colourful and features some of the most distinctive characters to have graced the 2D arena.

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 amount each download costs varies depending on the type of console you are downloading it from. Therefore if you want to download something that was originally on the NES it will cost less than something that was originally for the SNES. It is also possible to transfer titles that were downloaded on the Wii and play them on the Wii U.

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!
