Arcade Archives Is a Lazy Stop-Gap for Virtual Console

The Nintendo Switch has an impressive amount of first and third-party content after six months on store shelves. It’s pretty surprising, actually.

Wii undeniably has the best incarnation of the Virtual Console with Wii U's right behind it.

Nintendo should work to make Switch's incarnation of the service the best one.

Thanks Nintendo!

You didn't have to pay for the game again from Wii to Wii U, so it isn't every new platform.
