arg i want a wii nobody has one in stock, and ebay they are still going for like 400 bux... all my local stores have 10+ PS3 units tho.. lol... ps3 sux

 

[effowe]

Super Mario Brothers, Bonk's Adventure, Super Castlevania IV

 

[randomlinh]

Mario 64.

I will probably pick up Bonk's Adventure... and more than likely Zelda Ocarina of Time when it comes out. SMB1 is tempting, but we'll see. I still wish it were a little cheaper since I had a ton of NES games.

I just got Mario 64 and Street Fighter II.
Thinking about getting some others but I dunno yet.

I have a question though. If I move the games to a memory card, I can still play them, right? or how does that work?

If that were so, wouldn't it be easy to pirate the games?

How exactly does the Wii store all of these games?

 

[Riverhound777]

None. Can't bring myself to pay for them when I have them on my computer already. Plus I don't have any of the controllers.

 

[purbeast0]

not a damn thing nor do I plan to at the prices they offer em for, w/nothing new to them.

yeah, thats what i need to know. yuo can't save game to a memory card and play off them, you can't save your vc games to memory card and play, whats the point in being able to add a memory card??

on the built in 512MB memory on the wii, and if you run out, you can save (also transfer back/to from wii) to an SD card.

edit: i also have purchased no VC games...until super metroid becomes available to purchase. god i LOVE that game.

 

[loup garou]

SMB & Sonic only right now.

I believe you can copy them to SD, but they only run on the system they were downloaded on. I haven't tried copying them yet.

512MB Flash built in.

 

[pontifex]

so you have to move them back and forth? thats a major flaw in the wii.
i don't see how that still prevents piracy though?

 

[zerocool84]

yea i remember reading that you could only play them on the system that they were downloaded for. as for playing them off the sd card, hmm let me go try it right now since i just got my kingston 1gb sd carb in that i got for $10 off the hotdeals forum or someone else give it a try

Dunno. Haven't tried. Doesn't really bother me all that much.

They are DRM'd to hell.

if you run out of space on the 512MB built in, then you have to save on the SD card. you can also delete games and redownload them again for free, as long as you have bought that particular game.

I despise those with a Wii. I long for one bad.

 

[pontifex]

wow, mario 64 is hard. mario is so hard to control even with a wavebird.
