Five Games That Are Not on the Wii Virtual Console-- But Should Be

OC Weekly - With all of the anticipation of a new console from Nintendo to be unveiled at this year's E3, we can safely say that the Wii is on its way to retirement.

Lol all those games are playable via emulation on PC. When nintendo does remakes its pretty much retarded.

Friend of mine bought donkey kong 1,2&3 on virtual console all of them were filled with jaggies nintendo hadnt even bothered to work on the game.

download the rom on the PC instead and the game looks perfect. Now before someone jumps the gun and screams piracy. I dont support piracy however if you already own a cartridge from the nes or snes days then why not use the rom and play the game the way its ment to be on your choice of controller be it the DS3, Xbox 360 controller or whatever.

I have super mario bros 1 & 3 on wii and the colors are fucked up compared with the NES/rom version.

Strange headline, as I thought the star of the show was Super RType. I almost bought RType Dimensions EX this last month and was just thinking, man I wish we had the SNES one somewhere on Switch. That's where I got my start w the series and I was beyond excited to see it drop this week!
