Default How do I set up the Wii virtual console?

I have a single internet connection in my living room, and my wii is usually in my room. How do I connect my wii to the internet so I can download retro games? What kind of extra gadgets will I need to buy, if any? The more detail, the better!

Internet set-up should be easy, just use the walkthrough on the Nintendo website.http://www.nintendo.com/consumer/sys....jspYou'll end up going through the setup menu on the lower right of the Wii main menu screen.The only extra you might need is the retro controller (or and old GameCube controller if you have it). Some downloadable games require one.

Do you have a wireless connection? Yes, then just go to the Wii menu and just follow the directions. It's really simple and not that difficult. If you don't have a wireless connection, then you'll probably need to get the Wi-Fi USB to turn your PC into an access point for your Wii.You'll probably need to get a Wii card or you can use your credit card to pay for the retro games.

Let me see:1. You need to use your Internet in your Wii. There are two options: One....you had a wireless router (modem) in your computer. Then you need nothing. Just use your Wii configuration to set it up (Wii settings - Internet Setting).Two: Your connection to the Internet is via LAN (Local Area Network). Then you need an adapter. It can be a Wireless Adapter (http://www.amazon.com/dp/B000MXMNG4/...pf_rd_i=507846 ) or a LAN Adapter ( http://www.amazon.com/Intec-LAN-Adap...7311529&sr=1-1 ).2. Once you have an "Online Wii" you need to update your system. Once again, this is going to be the first thing your Wii will ask you once it's connected online. Just accept the "Update" and be VERY patient because it's going to take a while.3. When your update it's finished get back to the main menu. Click on the Wii Shop Channel. There's where you buy Old School Games (Virtual Console games or retro games...).4. You need Wii Points!!!. You can buy it with your credit card (it's pretty easy) or buy a Wii Points Card at any retailer. If you purchase the points online (there in the Shop Channel) they will credit your account right away. If you buy a Wii Points Card, just enter the Card Number or PIN in your account and that will credit you with Wii Points. The Wii Point Cards look like this (http://www.amazon.com/Nintendo-Wii-P...1722&sr=1-1)5. Select the game you want. There's a long list of over 100 tittles in the virtual console. Every Monday Nintendo add some more. Just choose the one you want, click on it and select download.6. Mario appears! Your Wii it's downloading the game into your Wii's Hard Drive. Once again it might take a while depending on your connection.7. When the download ends, the new retro game will appear as a new channel on your Wii's Main Menu.8. You click on the game....and damn!!!! You discover you might need a Classic Wii Remote ( http://www.amazon.com/Nintendo-Wii-C...7311682&sr=1-1 ).I hope this list helps you:Original Nintendo games: Some you can play it with Wii-Remote. Others need Classic Remote.Super Nintendo and Nintendo 64 games (and the other formats -Turbograf and such): Some you can play it with your Gamecube remote and for some others....yes you guess it....you will need a Classic Remote.In summary: Buy a classic remote. It will be useful with ANY virtual console game.9. Enjoy your Old School game!PS: I'm not english speaker, then excuse my grammar mistakes.
