All the Virtual Console titles are available through the Wii Shopping Channel.



If you don't have a credit card, you'll have to buy 2000 NP prepaid cards at Gamestop or Walmart (~$20 + tax, where applicable)



Get your Wii online & then enter the Wii Shopping Channel. After you load up your Wii Shopping Channel wallet with NP's (Nintendo Points, they're typically called Wii Points once added to your Wii Wallet... but the terms are interchangeable), you can visit the Virtual Console catalog & buy the games with your NP's.



Please be aware of the following price structure:



* NES VC -- 500 - 600 NP's

* SNES VC -- 800 - 900 NP's

* N64 VC -- 1,000 - 1,200 NP's



IMPORTANT NOTE: Make sure you have enough space on your Wii (or your SD card) to store the game when you download it.





There are "alternatives" to picking up these titles, but it requires major softmodding (WARNING: VOIDS WARRANTY) & violate copyright laws... which makes them taboo here.

Go into the Wii shop channel and select either the specific console category or the most popular downloads category. Many should be in those category's. I know MM and SMW are both in their because I bought them myself. I am not sure if Contra 3 or Donkey Kong Country 2 are available on the Wii shop channel or not. Also note that you have to buy Nintendo points on the shop channel with your credit card or debit card. Another option is buying 2000 Nintendo points preloaded on a card at Gamestop or Walmart, and then redeem them on the Shop Channel. It's fairly easy to do. Hope this is helpful. Good luck.



(P.S. You also might want to get a classic controller or a classic controller pro. You can use the Wiimote for some games all that you have listed require a Classic controller. GameCube controller could might work as well. It depends on the game and before you purchase the game on the Wii shop channel it will actually specify on what controller option work for each individual game)

You buy these games online using your Wii and the Wii Shop Channel. There is no other way to purchase them without hacking your Wii. Hacking a Wii is dangerous as if detected by Nintendo, you lose the ability to connect with various online Nintendo resources.
