-The '''Virtual Console''' is a section available for the [[Wii]] on the online service, the Wii Shop Channel. It was launched at the time the Wii was first released in North America in 2006. It was soon released for the [[Nintendo 3DS]] in 2011, and for the Wii U in 2012. Virtual Console was released by [[Nintendo]] as a way to legally own a past Nintendo game without downloading it illegally online.

+The '''Virtual Console''' is a service from [[Nintendo]] that allows users to purchase and download classic games to their system. The service first launched on the [[Wii]] in 2006, on the Wii Shop Channel. It would later be released for the [[Nintendo 3DS]]'s eShop in 2011 and the [[Wii U]]'s eShop in 2012. Games for the Virtual Console are platform-specific and do not have a single, cross-platform release, although the same game could have individual releases on each platform (for example, ''[[mariowiki:Super Mario Bros.|Super Mario Bros.]]'' had separate Virtual Console releases on all three platforms).

+==Trivia==
-* ''[[Star Fox 64]]''
+*The reason why the original ''[[Star Fox (game)|Star Fox]]'' wasn't released for the Wii's Virtual Console was because the Wii had trouble trying to emulate the [[SNES]]'s Super FX chip, which was used to run that game.<ref>http://gameinsight.net/2011/12/16/missing-virtual-console-games/</ref>
