This Virtual Console was launched with the 3DS's eShop several months after the 3DS's release on June 6th, 2011 (the 7th in some areas of America as well as Japan and the PAL regions). Like the [[Wii Virtual Console]], the 3DS Virtual Console consists of a library of classic games that could be bought and downloaded through the eShop to be played on the 3DS, with the selections originally having been updated on a weekly basis. |
The Wii Virtual Console had featured Nintendo's main systems up until the [[Nintendo 64]], while the 3DS initially focused instead on games from Nintendo's handheld systems. It specifically covered the [[Game Boy]] and [[Game Boy Color]], and several [[Game Boy Advance]] games were available through a limited promotion. It also covered a third party handheld in the form of Sega's Game Gear. Its scope later expanded to cover several home consoles that had previously been covered by the Wii Virtual Console: the [[NES]] and the [[Super NES]]. The latter was only compatible with the [[New Nintendo DS]] system. | The Wii Virtual Console had featured Nintendo's main systems up until the [[Nintendo 64]], while the 3DS initially focused instead on games from Nintendo's handheld systems.
