Couple of Wii questions...

[EvilManagedCare]

Hi,

We just got a Wii from my mother in law which will be given as a gift to my son in a couple days. I wanted to get the necessary accessories before then and had a quesiont about the SD card.

Can you save games without buying a separate SD card?

Do I have to use the SD memory cards made exclusively for the Wii?

And because I will be using the console as well and have been gaming since the 80's, I'm very excited about the Virtual Console downloads. At one time I had read Super Castlevania IV was to be released for download, yet it's not listed on the Wii's official Virtual Console site. Is that game still available (Lordy I hope so, I'm more excited about that than anything else really )

TIA

Yes. The Wii has 512MB of internal memory for game saves.

No, any SD memory card will do.

Yeah, it is there.

Just don't get an SD card larger than 2GB, it isn't supported by the Wii.
