The Wii Virtual Console is the name of the Wii's embedded emulator for playing classic games. Through the Wii Shop Channel, Wii owners were able to purchase and download select retro games. Purchased games can be played with the Classic Controller attachment, the Wiimote turned sideways (with select games), or a Nintendo GameCube controller. All NES games can be played with just the Wiimote turned sideways.
