List of Wii games on Wii U eShop

This is a list of Wii games that were available on Wii U for download from the Nintendo eShop.

These games utilize the backward compatibility of Wii U with Wii games in order to run, albeit without needing to explicitly access the Wii Menu. Games that can be played with the Classic Controller can also be played using the Wii U GamePad as a controller instead. The download variants can also support any save files created on or transferred to the Wii U from any respective disc variant of the same title.

Although similar to Virtual Console games in some ways, they are usually treated as a distinct concept by Nintendo.[1] However, they were referred to as Virtual Console titles on the Nintendo of America website.[2] Unlike most Virtual Console games, they run on native hardware rather than emulation.

A total of 35 games were released—of which 33 games were released in Japan, 30 in North America, and 28 in PAL regions.

As of the Wii U eShop's closure on March 28, 2023, these games are no longer available for purchase, although are available for redownload if previously bought.[3]
