Conversation about older stuff is what we do best here anyway Miss M.  

So if you purchase a game off your Wii, you'd have to buy it again separately if you wanted the same game on your 3DS?

you can connect your account on both wii u and 3DS, but not wii and 3DS.

on a side note, if you've purchased a vc game on your wii and you transferred that data on your wii u, the game will be at a discount. however, if you're planning on getting a vc game that you previously bought on your wii u that's on the 3DS, you'll have to pay for it again at the same price. stupid, i know :/

What a racket! I know it's taboo but I emulate old school games without batting an eye. They look better and I prefer save states.

Or I can just play them on the Retro Daze gaming speak easy...

actually they do have a savestate feature, but they call it a "restore point". the only problem is that when you want to load one, you get asked if you want to load it or not, and the same process happens when you want to save one

Speaking of... are there any games you would like to be able to play there that aren't currently up? There are only a few SNES games on there at the moment, but there are several I could probably find.

Like I said before, Nintendo likes to double-dip their consumers for those who own the systems by releasing the games on all their systems without the decency of offering a crossbuy option. Considering how the Wii U and 3DS can operate on your own Nintendo Network ID, then I see no reason why they shouldn't include the option to download NES games on both systems without having to pay for the same game twice. As far as having that option for the original Wii... I wouldn't count on it. Nintendo already pulled the plug on the system so they can support the Wii U, so it's not likely that they'd do anything else with the system. The best I can say is that if Nintendo ever does give you the option to own games on the Wii U and 3DS is if you have all your Wii data moved to the Wii U, and upgrade your Wii Virtual Console games to the Wii U and you'll be able to upgrade for only a dollar. The only problem there is that not everybody owns a Wii U, but again, it is the best I can really hope would happen in the future.

Anyway, with that said. Here is this week's Virtual Console releases for the week of February 20, 2014:


Wii U Virtual Console:

Ice Hockey (NES)
$4.99


3DS Virtual Console:

Sky Kid (NES)
$4.99



Also, in the wake of the news about GBA games on the Wii U Virtual Console, Mr. Driller 2 and Klonoa: Empire of Dreams has been classified as part of the Australian Classification Board. Both games say multi-platform which means they could arrive on the 3DS Virtual Console sometime soon. I really do hope that's true.

it'd be nice if they started off with earlier gba titles, like pinobee or super dodgeball advance

Week of 2/27/2014:

Wii U and 3DS Virtual Console:

Renegade (NES)
$4.99



Renegade is a title that I own for the NES. It's an all right brawler, but there's much better ones out there such as Double Dragon II... a game that actually adapts the control scheme from Renegade.

looks like a bargain bin brawler!
