Can you use a Wii U Virtual Console code for a 3DS Virtual Console game?
I'm planning to get the Super Mario Bros game, but its only for Wii U. I know it says for Wii U (And it may look stupid) But I've seen it on the eShop. So, Can I use the code?
Best Answer
If the code is for the Wii U, then it will only work for the Wii U, regardless if the game is on both the 3DS eshop and the Wii U eshop. So no, it won't work for your 3DS if you have a WiiU code.
