forgive my ignorance for not knowing this, but can all Virtual Console games play on either 3DS or Wii, or are they Wii specific VC games and 3DS specific VC games?


So far, if you buy a game on the Wii, it only plays on the Wii and the same goes for 3DS.  Wii has games from the Nes, Snes, N64, Turbografx-16, Genesis, Neo Geo, and a few other formats I can't think of.  3DS has titles from the GBA (ambassadors only), Gameboy, Nes, and Game Gear.  If, for example, you buy Super Mario Bros. 1 for the 3DS, you'd have to buy it again for the Wii. 


I REALLY hope SNES titles and more GBA games come to the 3DS.  The small screen is a perfect fit for that style of gaming.

They better let me play my Wii VC games on the Wii U and 3DS.  I will not buy the same VC game twice.  Thanks for putting NES VC games on the 3DS but I should be able to play them if I bought them on the Wii.   I believe Miiverse might bring this to the 3DS when it releases.  This is my main issue and I am pissed at Nintendo putting the shit up on 3DS VC shop when I know that I already bought it on the Wii (and I can't play it on 3DS without buying it again).  Check out my middle finger Nintendo because I think this is bullshit.   One shouldn't be expected to purchase multiple digital copies of the same game just to play it on home and hand held consoles.
