Virtual Console is a section of the Wii Shop Channel, that allows you to purchase and download games and other software for your Nintendo Wii. The Virtual Console lineup consists of titles originally released on past consoles. These titles are run in their original forms through software emulation, and can be purchased for between 500 and 1200 Wii Points.
Okay, guys, here's the deal: I won't respond to your comments if you ask me questions that are in this description. Simple as that. Save us all some time, okay?
Here's a video of my Nintendo Wii menu screen, recorded using WinTV on September 2nd, 2007. There was no sound, so I added "What Would Brian Boitano Do?" from South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut. Oddly enough, three of the four tunes I have that fit the video well enough were from one of Trey Parker and Matt Stone's productions.
Here's a list of everything, in case you missed any stuff:
SCREEN ONE
-Disk Channel (unmovable): The game I had in was WWE Day of Reckoning 2, hence the Nintendo GameCube logo!
-Wii Shop Channel: It's slow, but the Virtual Console is amazing.
-Mii Channel: I'm one of those Wii owners who can't spend hours here, like so many people seem able to.
-Internet Channel: You may ask the point of this, since I have the internet on my laptop and DS already and they're not annoying to use. Here's why I got it: because it was free!
-Everybody Votes Channel: Today's important question- How do you like your orange juice? With bits/No bits. Vital, I'm sure. I voted No bits, btw.
-Forecast Channel: I don't actually even live in the same county as Sheffield, but it's the nearest major city.
-News Channel: As you can see, I don't use this very often.
-Photo Channel: I have never used this, even once.
(The rest of the Channels are VC games)
-Nintendo 64: Super Mario 64 (if you care remotely about gaming, you need this game)
-N64: Paper Mario (a great Mario RPG, well worth buying)
-Mega Drive: Streets of Rage (awesome retro action)
-MD: Streets of Rage II (even better than the first)
SCREEN TWO
-N64: Mario Kart 64 (not one of my favourites, I think Double Dash!! and DS have made me expect unlockables from Mario Kart games. Still far better than Super Circuit, though)
-MD: Gunstar Heroes (awesome game, very fun)
-Nintendo Entertainment System: Kirby's Adventure (one of the best games I downloaded via VC, you owe it to yourself to play this brilliant thing and finish it 100%)
-NES: Mega Man (hard as nails, but brilliant fun)
-Super Nintendo Entertainment System: Donkey Kong Country (I had this on Game Boy Color, but the sound and resolution here make this a much better experience. Definitely worth a purchase)
-SNES: Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest (also fun, tougher than the first)
-SNES: F-Zero (challenging, but fun for one player)
-N64: F-Zero X (where F-Zero moved from "fun" to "amazing", where it remains today, to my liking)
-Turbo Grafx16: Bomberman '93 (the direct prequel to Mega Bomberman/Bomberman '94, one of my all-time favourite games)
-NES: Metroid (hard as nails but a classic title)
-N64: Lylat Wars (a great game, but I feel like the controls haven't stood the test of time so well)
-MD: Dynamite Headdy (a classic MD game I wanted so badly years ago- and now I have it! Very fun and a decent challenge)
SCREEN THREE
-SNES: Super Probotector: Alien Rebels (or Contra, if you like. Incredibly hard and so much fun)
-NES: Mach Rider (a unique game that's pretty fun and has some catchy music)
-NES: Kid Icarus (another challenging game from the mind behind Metroid)
-NES: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (a perhaps-slightly-unfairly-challenging NES game, but a nice bit of fun)
-TG16: Dungeon Explorer (pretty decent game, better with friends, though)
-MD: ToeJam & Earl (far-too-slow-paced game that's seriously hampered by as much, despite having the promise of a good game at its heart)
-MD: Columns (one of my favourite puzzle games, only on the end here because I later bought Sega Mega Drive Collection on PS2. I may remove Columns from my Wii to clear some space)
So, that's the lot- feel free to comment on the VC games I have or video reply with your own Wii Menu!

Sin & Punishment is amazing! I hope the sequel doesn't take as long to make it to English shores as the original.
supersmasher11(6 months ago)
I keep most of my downloaded games on my SD channel. I don't download N64 games because they take up too much memory on Wii & SD (The only N64 one I have is Sin & Punishment)
GHFame100(8 months ago)
WMG needs to fuck off. I just love it when they think they own all of the music that people make. No way am I letting WMG touch my own music. If they do, I will kick their ass! LOL
Hopefully they'll have an installer to add more memory blocks to the wii. Rockband DLC takes up most of my space.

Yeah, WMG being selfish again.
