List of Virtual Console games for Wii (PAL region)
The following is the complete list of the 395Virtual Console titles (394 titles in Oceania) that were available for the Wii in the PAL region (Europe and Oceania) sorted by system and release dates.

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).
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.

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.
