Virtual Console is a service created by Nintendo that allows users to purchase and emulate games.

Virtual Console can emulate NES, SNES, Nintendo 64, Mega Drive/Genesis, PC Engine, Commodore 64, MSX, Game Boy/Color, Game Boy Advance and Game Gear games.


Review

Games played through Virtual Console are usually free of accuracy issues.

In terms of functionality, the Virtual Console emulator is very bare-bones compared to unofficial emulators.

Pricing of Virtual Console games can be ludicrous. If you don't want to pay for VC ROMs on your Wii, you can just install them as .wad files through WAD Manager.
