Nintendo have been at the forefront of games for a couple of decades. They have produced gaming icons such as Mario and Zelda. Inevitably though even the most committed of gamers may have lost a console or two along the way and with it a number of classic titles. However there are a number of games for Wii U virtual console available that will allow you to relive those classic gaming memories without the need to trawl through markets or online to find old consoles!
Some people may be cynical about this. They may ask why you should download titles when there are places you can purchase old or second hand consoles. However the problem is some of these titles can be very hard to track down and often the best ones will be the very ones people do not want to sell and as a consequence if you can buy them they will be very expensive!
The furthest back are the ones available from the original Nintendo Entertainment System. These include classic titles such as Super Mario Bros, Zelda and Punch Out. Super Mario Bros is often credited as one of the iconic platformers. Its creator Shigeru Miyamoto was also behind the creation of Zelda, a beloved fantasy franchise that is still going strong to this day while Punch Out offers an arcade style boxing game that is pure fun!
However it is important to remember that cute and colourful does not necessarily mean easy or childish! As any committed gamer will tell you the classic Mario and Zelda titles may seem initially easy to pick up and play but once you get into them they are rich in detail and very well designed.
It should also be remembered that you could also get side scrolling beat em up games like Double Dragon on the system. There is a broad range of genres available covering everything from puzzles to stunt bikes. The chances are you will find a game that you want to play!
Some may be ones that you remember. These include classics such as Zelda and Super Mario Bros. While games machines may have created more advanced graphics or cinematic cut scenes there is something eternally iconic in the deceptively simple look and inventive design of the finest work of Shigeru Miaymoto and his fellow designers. Others may be a gamble or based on the recommendation of a friend. However because the downloads are relatively inexpensive it is often worth having a go because you may stumble on a new favourite.
The amount each download costs varies depending on the type of console you are downloading it from. Therefore if you want to download something that was originally on the NES it will cost less than something that was originally for the SNES. It is also possible to transfer titles that were downloaded on the Wii and play them on the Wii U.
In short there is a lot you could potentially get from your Wii U than you may have realised. New titles and consoles are being added all the time with N64 titles set to be arriving later in the year. Check the virtual console website for more information and look online for reviews of titles to help you find the ideal downloads for you!
