They're downloads. You purchase them through the Wii store, download them to the Wii and play them.

Thanks! I had a guy at a game store explain it to me today.

So you can't hook up to the internet with a special adapter? Gotta love all the extras I have to buy.

Mario Kart 64 doesn't seem to control correctly on VC. Turning during power slides seems way too touchy. I don't know if something got screwed up in the translation, or that's just how it always was and I'm just too used to Mario Kart DS.

I need to find an N64 and Mario Kart just to compare them.

There's a wifi card in it. If you have wireless internet, there's nothing extra you have to buy.

Damn you Nintendo, why couldn't you put an ethernet port in the Wii? :(

QFT, I'm having problems updating my Wii right now because it wont download via the wireless connection. It says its connected and all is fine but when I go to download it cant ever complete it. Wish I could hardwire it to see if that would fix the problem, but no.
