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. It is currently unknown if the Virtual Console will be available on the Nintendo Switch.

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).
