I didn't mean to say it caters only to people with friends, but it is much more of a party system than the other two games. Or it lends it to that much better.

So as of right now I am going to assume that you cannot transfer Virtual Console game saves onto a SD card unless someone else is going to try with a game like Zelda or something else that has a real game save.
Interesting. I guess it kind of makes sense as if you have a savestate, you probably aren't going to want to "archive" that game. I'd guess the real reason is that the savestate exists hidden in main memory. Thanks for trying it out, I haven't had a chance to.

OP, did you try moving the VC game itself and see if the save file goes with it? It's a longshot, but who knows.

hopefully they get it figured out. So far i have yet to buy a SD card for the wii. but then again i don't need it yet. only have 3 downloaded games and save games from 5 games. so still have some room.

hopefully they come out with a really good fishing and golf game soon. one of the main reasons i got it was for fishing. oh and a good bowling game would be nice. not that there is anything wrong with wii sports bowling.

the only person trolling here is you. Im on topic and have actual things to say that is also on topic.
LMAO! You haven't said a single on-topic thing in this entire thread. You and Inspector Jihad are pathetic.

lol, my stupid comment really got under your skin didnt it. anyway, i saved money. I play my gamecube while waving my arms around. its just like the wii.

Nah it's probably because you find a way to troll Wii threads whenever you can.

no, i don't know millions of other people. i have no idea how you got that from my post. but since nintendo can't keep them on shelves for more than 10 minutes at a time, its safe to bet that people like it, or it would be sitting on the shelf, right next to that POS PS3.
