The '''Virtual Console''' ({{ja|バーチャルコンソール}} ''Bācharu Konsōru''), sometimes abbreviated as '''VC''', is a feature of the [[Wii]], the [[Nintendo 3DS]], and the [[Wii U]] that emulates older video game consoles and allows one to play games originally released for those consoles. This feature is supported by the [[Wikipedia:Wii Menu#Wii Shop Channel|Wii Shop Channel]] and [[wikipedia:Nintendo eShop|Nintendo eShop]]. The Wii's Virtual Console currently emulates the [[Wikipedia:Nintendo Entertainment System|Nintendo Entertainment System]], [[Wikipedia:Super Nintendo Entertainment System|Super Nintendo Entertainment System]] and [[Nintendo 64]], as well as the [[Wikipedia:Sega Mega Drive|Sega Mega Drive/Genesis]], NEC's [[Wikipedia:TurboGrafx-16|TurboGrafx-16/PC Engine]], the [[Wikipedia:MSX|MSX]] computer and the [[Wikipedia:Neo Geo (console)|Neo Geo]] home system, while the Nintendo 3DS Virtual Console currently runs Game Boy, Game Boy Color, Game Boy Advance, Sega Game Gear and [[nwiki:NES|NES]] games.

Many of the [[Masterpieces]] featured in ''Brawl'' work on the Wii Virtual Console engine. Masterpieces are demos of existing Virtual Console games (at the time ''Brawl'' was released) and share many of the same attributes of games on the Virtual Console.


''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'' was released to the Wii Virtual Console for Japan on January 20, 2009 to celebrate its tenth anniversary there since it was released for the [[Nintendo 64]] on January 21, 1999 in Japan.
