The '''Wii U Virtual Console''' is the third and thus far final incarnation of the [[Virtual Console]] program which made classic games available to be bought and downloaded at discount prices. This version is for the [[Wii U]] and represents a mix of consoles, including consoles that had previously been represented on the [[Wii Virtual Console]] and some handheld consoles that had not been covered by the [[3DS Virtual Console]]. It launched in all regions on April 27, 2013, although a few games were made available early as part of a Trial Campaign.

New games have typically been added on Thursdays, or Wednesdays in Japan. As with the other iterations of the Virtual Console, updates became more sporadic over time. The last game added to the service was in February 2018, and most of the represented systems had not received additional games since 2016 or 2017. In 2022, Nintendo began a process to close down the Wii U and 3DS eshop which concluded in April 2023. Games from the Wii U Virtual Console are thus no longer available, and players can only re-download games that they have previously purchased. With the closure of the Wii U and 3DS eshops, all iterations of the Virtual Console service have been closed down.
