The previous way we listed it worked perfectly fine. The fact that Super Famicom Star Stacker plays only in Japanese is listed elsewhere on the wiki, so I don't think it needs to be listed here.

'''Virtual Console''' is a | '''Virtual Console''' is a line of downloadable software on the [[Wii]], [[Wii U]] and [[Nintendo 3DS]]. It allows the console user to purchase, download, and play games from older systems on the console in question, which includes titles from the [[Nintendo Entertainment System]] up to the Wii, and even includes titles from non-Nintendo systems, such as the Sega Genesis, and the NEO GEO. The [[Nintendo Switch]] removed Virtual Console branding in favor of a subscription model known as Nintendo Switch Online, which is treated in this article as a successor platform. | ||
An Internet connection is required to download titles | An Internet connection is required to download titles, but is not required to play the game afterwards. Virtual Console games often have a save state function known as Restore Points. There are special commands that can open the game in the original resolution (and skins to emulate the original console's appearance if any). On the [[Nintendo 3DS]] system, [[SNES]] games are only available on the New Nintendo 3DS series models. | ||
Some minor changes | Some minor changes were made to Virtual Console releases, meaning that some are not entirely accurate to the original state of the game. In the case of the ''Kirby'' series, one major change was made to ''[[Kirby's Dream Land 3]]''; the [[Hyper Zone]] arena in [[Boss Endurance|Boss Butch]] mode had its colors changed from a yellow sky with red and blue clouds to a yellow sky with orange and green clouds. The change is likely due to increased epilepsy awareness, and has been kept for all subsequent releases. Additionally, an error in the Wii Virtual Console version of ''[[Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards]]'' causes [[Ripple Star - Stage 4|Miracle Matter's boss arena]] to be colored black and white rather than the intended black and purple; this was fixed starting in ''[[Kirby's Dream Collection Special Edition]]''. | ||
