Nintendo to Start Selling Select Downloadable Games in Online Store

Players now have an alternative to purchase downloadable games.

Nintendo has recently updated their online store with a Virtual Console and WiiWare section. This section will allow gamers to purchase a download ticket that they can redeem on the Wii Shop Channel.

Currently, the selection is very limited with only Super Mario Bros. 3 for the Virtual Console and Pokémon Rumble for WiiWare available at $5 and $15, respectively.

Hot Story

In Memory of Michael Alvarado

When 1up started the process of shutting down, there was one person who seemed to lead to charge to congregate the community in a single place. After his first visit here, it wasn't long before a slew of new members arrived. The site came alive and the real story of PixlBit began - the one that involves all of you. The person I'm referring to is, of course, Michael Alvarado, otherwise known as Michael117.
