PAL owners beware! In our region, many of the Virtual Console games listed are based on the inferior, slower PAL version. It might not be a deal breaker for you, but it's something you should be aware of before you rush and buy.

I'd recommend Muscle March since it's not mentioned much, it's more of a minigame but it was the first game I bought on the Wii, it's exclusive, it requires motion controls and it's a very "distinct" piece of work which when it comes to preserving unique games and their experiences qualifies it as a must have in my opinion.

Got The Wii (white color, bundled with Wii Sports & Wii Sports Resort, and is one of those early models which are fully backward-compatible with all GameCube games & most accessories) in 2012, but have never used it, still sitting in the box. No more room to put out consoles by my TV. I did buy a few more games for the system plus some more Wii Remote Plus controllers and some Nunchuks for it too. Whenever I start playing this system, now I won't have the chance to try out The Nintendo Wii Shop sadly. Never bought The Wii U either or the Nintendo Switch. So leery with the whole motion control scheme format to play.

Hey guys- I was wondering if you ever felt interested in making a video about ways of playing arcade games at home? Of course MAME would be many people's first thought, but I know that you guys and I are both interested in playing games on original hardware. A video from you guys that looks into the world of superguns, candy cabinets, and collecting arcade PCBs would be massively appreciated. Thanks for all the great videos!

Yeh excellent as I'm in the same boat. My main idea for nostalgia is literally a tall 2 player cabinet, retro pie, all the arcade games and this sits in my garage. So this is Step 1. Next setup would in my cozy games room so i can sit back and play it on big HDTV with a game controller OR optional arcade stick setup. This will be handy also for future online SF2 anniversary release. And then i alternate between both 'Arcade' experiences on how i feel ...

thank you guys very much for this, you and your collaborators. all the hard work paid off; this was an awesome chronicle of the Wii Shop Channel. i already would grow sadly nostalgic any time i logged onto it after Nintendo effectively abandoned it, and now i will really feel it going on there for these last few purchases. I'm glad i had already bought some of the recommendations here (S&P, Doremi), but what remains for me to buy (mainly titles for which physical copies are annoying to obtain) will be a pretty hefty sum, so I'll be trimming down my selection this next week. thanks a lot for the heads up, i had no idea Nintendo was taking it all down for good. really appreciate this channel and its high quality content. God bless you guys

I'm so happy to see a recommendation for Bio-Miracle Baby Upa. It is one of my absolute favorite famicom-exclusive games. It's always a fun casual challenge. and it has a wonderfully bubbly classic Konami soundtrack. References to Upa show up in other konami games like the satirical shmup "Parodius" and the arcade rhythm game "pop'n music"! DoReMi Fantasy looks really cool and has been something I've wanted to play for a while now. Wonder Boy looks pretty interesting, too... and I never even knew about the "Rebirth" line of games! Thanks! What a cool video with so many crossovers from other channels. I hope to see more specials like this in the future!

I have the Wii VC to thank for getting me into the TurboGrafx-16, which has since become my 3rd favourite game system, right behind the SNES and the GBA 34:39 "Surprisingly good" music? Seriously though, it would be surprising if it *wasn't* good, remember, it's Bomberman we're talking about here, that series is pretty much synonymous with good music, Especially on the N64...
@FinalBaton

Agreed, there's really nothing surprising about a Bomberman OST being good. I discovered the soundtrack to Bomberman Hero 2 or 3 years ago, a good friend of mine recommended it to me in a VGM discussion we had, she insisted that I listen to the whole thing and that I wouldn't be disappointed. Boy was she right... it's an incredible work

True, although they've all been backed up already and you can install them on your Wii also with the homebrew channel... Also, yeah, emulation on the Wii is awesome! I'm especially fond of the Wii version of RetroArch, which lets you pick the exact resolution you want your games to display at, pair that with a CRT TV and you have just about the best/most-authentic-looking version of whichever game you're playing outside of real hardware~

I honestly never realized just how dense the Wii shop channel was. I have a modded Wii U, so I suppose I could get the WADs online once the shop goes down. But this does give me hope for the future of VC on the Switch. I just got my Switch yesterday and I can already see the massive appeal of having this kind of retro library readily available on the go. Hopefully we'll hear some good news from Nintendo very soon about what the future of their online services are going to look like. Thanks for the awesome showcase guys!

Luckily we can thank the people in the homebrew scene to keep these things alive for many more years to come. I'm also crossing my fingers this also means that good things are coming for the Switch as far as Virtual Console goes.

Lots of great choices from everyone that are really making me want to break out the credit card before its too late, especially for the WiiWare Rebirth games. Also, big respect to you guys for picking Sin & Punishment on N64. That is my absolute favorite N64 game (and its sequel is subsequently my favorite Wii game too). I remember trying it out on the Wii Virtual Console on a whim and when I saw that Treasure logo pop up and started playing it, I fell in love with it. I loved it so much that at the next convention I went to, I bought the import complete in box. And don't worry Joe, someday someone will give Greendog the love it deserves just like you do. ;)

You know, it does take effort to keep the storefront. Not only must it pay for the upkeep, it also requires Nintendo to funnel the revenue to IP owners (and keep track of changing hands) and keeping people resources to manage licenses. All of which amounts for much lower income than a new release would net. It's more of a dead weight to them. Although all of this doesn't actually dispute your conclusion on piracy. If the developers can't have your money for the game anyway, then it's not strictly pirating.

Excellent video, gang. Oh boy...Joe's acting is just so hammy. I love it. I'm surprised you guys didn't mention Sengoku 3, specifically. It's the only way to play the game cheap without investing in an arcade cabinet or a Neo Geo and a very pricey cart. One of the best beat em ups put out on the VC (though it was developed by Noise Factory not SNK.) Glad you mentioned Shock Troopers 2ND Squad. Such a better game than the first IMO.

"Gang's" origins: Old English, from Old Norse gangr, ganga ‘gait, course, going,’ of Germanic origin; related to gang2. The original meaning was ‘going, a journey,’ later in Middle English ‘a way, passage,’ also ‘set of things or people that go together.’

I still prefer the original wild guns, it just feels tighter than the PS4 and perhaps a bit less challenging. The ps4 title feels designed around multiplayer in all situations so single player can be a tad more tedious and difficult at times (more space to cover, more screen space or projectilces to come from etc.).

Wow, did I just sit down and watch a full hours worth of My Life In Gaming?! Impressive video guys, keep up the good work! I'm sad to see the Wii Virtual Console finally go. My casual retro gaming friends would often ask me where they should start if they wanted to dabble in the hobby and I always told 'em the same thing - grab an old skool white Wii for dirt cheap and go to town! You had built in physical Gamecube support with all four controller ports, and the Virtual Console would allow for a nice legal path to all sorts of great games across multiple platforms with solid emulation. And if you wanted to get a little bit (ahem) 'less legal' you could always softmod and toss on the Homebrew channel and a few choice ROMs and explore that route as well. Come March 26th the Wii option will lose a bit of it's luster... :(

+My Life in Gaming Hey Try, Thank you for making this video. I know that when I heard about the Wii store getting closed up, I thought to myself, oh crap better start hoarding as many quality titles as possible. This is a really important time to point out that if you're someone who's never going to own a Turbografx 16, Nintendo 64, Neo Geo AES, or in the case where you're really only looking for one or two games for a system, the Wii is a really smart way to go. Its also worth mentioning that there are a lot of games that support 2 player co-op and the nice thing about playing them on the Wii is that since the Wii was one of the most distributed game systems of all time, it won't be hard to find controllers that will work for those systems.

I would have loved going digital with my retro collection, but always was cautious since I wasn't sure if you could use them on later consoles... And sure enough, if I had bought them all on the wii I'd have to rebuy them all for the wii u (for a smaller fee... but come on...), and the daisy chain probably stops there because the switch won't let you get them from your wii u, maybe not even offer them at all. I am not goin pay 4 friggin times to have smb 3 for a total of almost 80-100 bucks, they seriously need to overthink their online business strategy, all it does is provoke people to mod the consles and pirate the old game, this will happen with the switch as well, and honestly I don't blame them. At least I still have my library of games on the shelves, would have hated myself if I sold them all and went the digital route.

R-Type for the master system was delisted but the awesome Turbo Grafx version - which is very close to the arcade - was returned to the Virtual console (along with Ninja Spirit). Both those and the Donkey Kong Country games were the only ones to be delisted and brought back.
