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). | |||
