Nintendo 3DS/Virtual Console

The 3DS Virtual Console is a line of video games for the 3DS that are emulated re-released titles from previous Nintendo video game systems, as well as formerly competing consoles. 3DS owners are able to purchase and download Virtual Console games through the Nintendo eShop.


 * Systems
 * NES
 * SNES (New 3DS/2DS models only)
 * PC Engine (Japan only)
 * Game Boy
 * Game Boy Color
 * Game Boy Advance (ambassadors only)
 * Game Gear

Games are stretched on the Nintendo 3DS screen, but can be played in the original resolution by holding either or  when launching a game. For Game Boy games, a border of the original Game Boy is placed around the game screen in the original resolution. When 3D is turned on, the game screen is slightly depressed. Hold and  and press  to switch between black and white and the original green colors.

Ambassador Games
Twenty games (ten NES and ten Game Boy Advance) were given for free to 3DS ambassadors, those who purchased the Nintendo 3DS before the initial price drop. The NES games were later released on the Nintendo eShop for purchase, but the Game Boy Advance games are exclusive to ambassadors. The Game Boy Advance games run natively on the 3DS, so they do not have the extra emulation features, such as restore points.
