List of Virtual Console games for Wii (PAL region) 
Summary
The following is the complete list of the 385 Virtual Console titles (384 titles in Oceania) that were available for the Wii in the PAL region (Europe and Oceania) sorted by system and release dates. The final update was on September 5, 2013, as the service has been discontinued in all regions. The Virtual Console would go on to continue on the Wii U and 3DS but neither service has seen new games since 2018. A Successor to both services was made with the introduction of NES and later SNES games on Nintendo Switch Online
Nintendo discontinued the Wii Shop Channel on January 31, 2019, worldwide (with the purchase of Wii Points for new games having ended on March 26, 2018, worldwide).

Update notes edit
2007 edit
- The April 6 update was on April 5 because of Good Friday.
- The May 18 update was on May 16 due to Ascension Day, although the games were removed around 1:00AM CET the next day and later readded on May 18.
- Turbografx games were originally not available in Australia, however they were introduced in the July 6 update.
- Australia got four Turbografx games in an additional update on August 7.
- The first Hanabi Festival with earlier Japan- and/or North America-only games started in September. The imported games are often released in three consecutive weeks and cost an additional 100 Nintendo points (200 Nintendo points for Nintendo 64 games). A total of six titles were released this time: Gradius III, Mario's Super Picross, Ninja Gaiden, Ninja JaJaMaru-kun, Sin and Punishment (which received an English translation/localization for its VC release) and Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels (later removed). Ninja Gaiden was originally released as Shadow Warriors, but now retains its American name and 60 Hz-only refresh rate so it is considered as an import title instead.
- Neo Geo titles were added to the VC service for the first time on October 5.
- Pokémon Snap was added alongside the VC gift giving feature on December 11.
- The December 28 update was on December 25 as a 'Christmas present'.
2008 edit
- Commodore 64 titles were added to the European VC service for the first time on March 28.
- Master System titles were added to the VC service for the first time on April 11.
- The second Hanabi Festival started in early May and nine import titles were released: Break In, Cho Aniki, Columns III: Revenge of Columns, Digital Champ: Battle Boxing, Final Soldier, Gley Lancer, Gradius II: Gofer no Yabou, Puyo Puyo 2, and Star Parodier.
