Unusually, ''Smash 4'' features Masterpieces of Game Boy titles, which were not supported by the Wii U's Virtual Console. As a result, players are told about how they could download the two Game Boy titles, ''Kirby's Dream Land'' and ''Dr. Mario'', on the Nintendo 3DS's Virtual Console. When the timer runs out, the player is told about how the full version could be purchased for the Virtual Console. The prompt to take players directly to the Wii U eShop for NES and SNES titles is still functional, but the eShop pages do not have a “purchase” option.

===Re-release of ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]''===
===Re-release of ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]''===
''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'' was released onto the Wii Virtual Console for Japan on January 20, 2009, as to celebrate the ten years since the game's first release in Japan on January 21, 1999. It was later released to Europe and Australia on June 12, 2009, and to North America on December 21, 2009. While not officially available for the Wii U's Virtual Console, the Virtual Console re-release of ''Smash 64'' could still be purchased and played when the Wii U was running in Wii Mode. However, the discontinuation of the Wii Shop Channel on January 30, 2019 made the game no longer purchasable.

Due to lack of N64 controller support and significant performance issues like frame-skipping, the Virtual Console version of ''Smash 64'' is not used for tournament play. Players use the original [[Nintendo 64]] hardware for in person tournaments or [[Project 64k]] for online events.
