Actually, you download and store stuff on your Hard Drive. Considering that you can buy games designed for the Wii that are "new" in the sense that they have added new games constantly, they would have had to have planned it out for the last 20 years of business to have everything on the Wii already.
This complaint was all the rage when the Wii was new. There are actually horribly clunky ways to register your purchases with a Club Nintendo account and get Nintendo to set things up so you can get them back, but it's nowhere near as good as simply linking them to your Gamertag or PSN ID and being able to redownload them as many times as you need (with the restriction, at least on the Xbox, that any consoles other than the first one they are downloaded to will have to be signed in online with that gamertag in order to use that content).Onyx Oblivion said:
I believe they mention it when you try to sign in on the Wii. I know I definitely read it somewhere. Can't remember how you sign in, I haven't touched my Wii since Smash Bros Brawl came out, which was 2 years ago, purely because Nintendo seems to hate their gamer fanbase.Onyx Oblivion said:

This reminds me. I once read that the Nintendo Wii could play any Nintendo game. From an early picture I assumed the slot on the front was for Game Boy games. I didn't know about the VC at that time.
Nintendo does actually keep track of what you download and if your Wii would break (something it highly probably won't) you can let them transfer it to your new one. So this isn't really a problem.
I'm certain someone has always said this, but I'm too lazy to check. Steam does the exact same thing. You lose your account, you lose your games. Doesn't stop people from using it
I don't think it works like you describe, because I've transfered several VC titles to SD cards and yet when I go to the Shop Channel to browse VC console titles it still knows I've already downloaded those ones.
Is that because you hardly ever use it?Hazy said:Well, let's just be happy that the thing hardly ever breaks.
Nah, I'm just joking.
However, Nintendo's behaviour is one of the reasons I don't own a Wii.
Yay, that's the first e-cookie I ever got. Hooray.Hazy said:Journeythroughhell said:Is that because you hardly ever use it?Hazy said:Well, let's just be happy that the thing hardly ever breaks.

Nom-nom-nom.
Now it's gone. *sniff*
Once I realized that most of my favorite old games were on the SNES, I ended up paying the $40 bucks for a used one and another $25 for a bunch of games at a local used games store. I have learned that dealing with some online marketplaces is rarely worth the hassle (especially the Virtual Console).
