Virtual Console

Virtual Console is a feature on newer Nintendo consoles. Retro games from older consoles can be bought here. It is part of the Wii Shop Channel on the Wii, and the Nintendo eShop on the 3DS, Wii U and Nintendo Switch. However, only the Wii U Virtual Console contains any Animal Crossing titles.

Generally, Virtual Console games are mostly unchanged from their original counterparts, although the controls will be modified for the newer system. However, the Virtual Console version of does contain one small difference: Nookington's no longer requires a friend to visit due to the lack of online and multiplayer features.
