Soonerman said: So yea, after the report from Iwata I think I'm going to stick with my preorder. One question tho, how does the Nintendo e-Shop works? I was looking at games on it on their site and wanted to play Chrno Trigger and I see that's available through the Virtual Console for Wii. Does that mean is also available on Wii U? Are some of these games available in certain consoles? |
Wii VC and Nintendo eShop are two different things, two separate stores...
Everything that's on the Wii VC will eventually be on the eShop (and a good amount of it is).
Games purchased from eShop run natively in Wii U. Games from the Wii VC are played by entering Wii emulation mode and opening Virtual console.
I think there's a way in which your Wii VC purchases can get upgraded to eShop downloads. But I've avoided the ole Wii VC because of this fragmentation.
