This is a list of Virtual Console games that were available on Wii U in North America.

These releases take advantage of the console's unique features, such as Off TV Play with the Wii U GamePad and posting to Miiverse. Some of these games were also available on the Wii Virtual Console, which can be played through Wii U's Wii Mode, but these legacy versions lack some features of the Wii U Virtual Console. While Wii Virtual Console titles cannot be played using the Wii U GamePad's controls, a September 2013 system update enabled the use of the GamePad's screen as a display. While some Wii games were also available for download from the Wii U eShop, these are not designated as Virtual Console releases and lack Virtual Console features.
