Virtual Console

Revision as of 19:01, 19 January 2020 by YoshiFlutterJump (talk | contribs) (→‎Nintendo Switch Online: Seems unnecessary for this list. Kirby's Adventure was also added post-launch so keeping this here is kind of inconsistent.)

Virtual Console is a feature present on all Nintendo consoles and handhelds from the Wii onwards. It allows the console user to purchase, download, and play games from older systems on the console in question, which includes titles from the Nintendo Entertainment System up to the Wii, and even includes titles from non-Nintendo systems, such as the Sega Genesis, and the NEO GEO.

An Internet connection is required to download titles from the Nintendo eShop, but is not required to play the game afterwards (barring verification for Nintendo Switch Online games). Virtual Console games have a save state function known as Restore Points. There are special commands that can open the game in the original resolution (and skins to emulate the original console's appearance if any). On the Nintendo 3DS system, SNES games are only available on the New Nintendo 3DS series models.
