By March 26, you won't be able to purchase any more points for the original Wii Shop, so here's a list of VC games that you can't get on the Wii U, 3DS, or Switch right now.

most of these games are either bad or not worth $5, but this is still probably going to be your last chance to legally emulate them on a modern game console (since Wii stuff can be transferred to the Wii U), so if anything on the list catches your eye, take your shot now

i'll probably get chrono trigger, because a physical copy of that shit is mad expensive

green = personal recommendation

Final Fantasy IV is listed as II.
Final Fantasy VI is listed as III.

Fighting Street is actually the original Street Fighter, but it's so shitty that there's no sense in buying it. It'll be included in the 30th anniversary collection that's coming soon anyway.

if you wanted to purchase every game available on the wii's VC library right now, you would need precisely $2,871.00, disregarding tax

so i forgot the wii shop is retarded and forces you to pick between specific amounts when buying wii points, rather than just letting you getting exactly what you need—the lowest purchasable amount is $10 for 1000 wii points, even though all i needed was 800 for chrono trigger, so i had to buy 2000 for $20 just to avoid having leftover points that i can't use for anything

so with the leftover 1200, i decided to get sin & punishment, which was a japan-exclusive N64 game that got a brawl bump

hopefully it's not fucking garbage

You spent $12 on a game that might be garbage?

i mean, that's just what happens when you buy video games

or anything

you might not end up liking it

it was either that or spend $8 and have $2 lost in the void forever, which is obviously the worse option

Still less games than what a PC can offer
