Not right away. Wii has 512MB of internal memory, which is enough to hold quite a lot of VC games.

How much memory does it take to save just a normal game you buy Ex: Zelda:tp? and how much memory does it take out of your 512 with a virtual consle game aswell? Thanks

savegames bareley take up any memory at all, no need to worry about them.
This is just a guesstimate, but I'd say a NES game probably takes up about 5MB. N64 games obviously a lot more. But thats just a guess

The wii's internal memory is fine, unless you buy a ton of VC games.

Most of my Wii games (Twilight Princess, SPM, Wii Play) take just one block. My largest save is Need For Speed, and that's 3 blocks.

The SNES games I have seem to average around aprx. 30 blocks.

If i bought zelda the link to the past and orcania of time for the VC would I need a Sd card or wouldI be okay? ThanksCornerstore

Nah, no need. You can have both of those in internal memory and still have considerable room to spare.

You would have tons of room left. Game saves take up hardly anything, also.
