Wii U gamers can now easily access classic games through the eShop.
Nintendo is adding Virtual Console games to its eShop, which is their official online store for snatching up games and accessories for the popular gaming system. This, in part, is in celebration of Famicon's 30th anniversary. Instead of gamers using Wii's emulator to connect and seek out old games to bring them onto a new system, numerous classic games are now readily available for customers to sample and/or buy via eShop. Not only are the games easily accesible, they also are affordable and can be sampled for a mere 30 cents. The most exciting aspect is that this Virtual Console update is rumored to officially launch in spring, although it is currently popping up earlier than expected.
Downloading a game from the eShop takes around 15 seconds, but Nintendo is planning on updating software to load games more quickly and adding the Virtual Console directly into the Wii U instead of users accessing it via the Virtual Wii. A new addition to Wii U is the controller settings menu, which allows users to change the game's controls to their preferred liking. All the original Wii remotes and the Wii Pad are compatible with the vintage games, and both allow for playing with multiple users. With the updates and easy access, the evolution of the Wii's previous model is sure to be near perfect by the time its official launch date happens sometime in spring 2013. Retweet this story
