You could delete some of your VC games if you have some. You can download them later without paying another time.

I have a lot of VC games.  I only have two screens left.  I have a 1 gig sd card the point is i want to be able to play all my vc games without having to copy them off of the sd card.  Im just hoping that they give some sort of support where i can play them off of an external card.

I dont own a wii and im a little confused about how the whole blocks thing works. So how many blocks does an average wii game use and how many to download a virtual console game?

I pray that Nintendo will release a Hard Drive. I'm too scared to d/l stuff now, because other stuff may come out later -_-.

Let me guess tons of vc games you haven't played for a while or you have saves from games you rented or traded away. Clear out the trash. Pack rats are the ones who have the space issue.

Most of us know to throw out the vc games that we no longer play as well as the saved games. Transfer them to a SD card for crying out loud if it is to much of a bother to redownload.

Delete all your dumb Mii's, all those pictures you dont need, and get rid of virtual console games you dont play anymore!

Your save file will still exist, but the games will be saved away.

I have 1337 blocks left, by the way :)

I didnt pay $250 for have a$$ed excuses. I payed between 5 and 10 dollars for every virtual console games im not going to delete them. I dont understand why you nintendo fanboys make excuses instead of asking questions and saying to nintendo why? Nintendo is suppposed to be making more then $90 on each Wii they sell at the moment. There is no reason why they couldnt have added some more flash memory in the system. But that aside i just want something to add onto the system to make everything fit.

You talk like the games are gone forever, you can delete and redownload as much as you want. It doesnt cost you a single penny. But dont act like its just Nintendo's fault you have to manage space. I mean I'm sure you have a computer do you fill up the HD and then blame the computer manafactuer for not giving you a bigger one. No you delete, transfer to CD/DVD or whatever. Its the same story here saosin, you can even run out of space on the mighty 60 GB PS3. Should you complain that Sony should have made it 80, then 120, then 150.

Why don't you just admit Nintendo didn't put enough flash memory in the Wii? I can't honestly believe your comparing filling up a massive 60 gig PS3 HDD to filling up an incredibly short portion of flash memory on the Wii.

Theres nothing to admit, did you not know going in what you were getting. I had a 60 GB IBM Thinkpad, the HD is full. So is it possible to fill that massive 60 gigs, obviously yes. Did I whine and moan about there should have been more space, of course not. I knew how much space there was going in, therefore I was prepared to deal with that space. The same applies here, you know you cant download a 180 N64 games so why when you fall short do you complain. It didnt just happen out of the blue, you knew it was going to happen. that is my point. So buying a system, I dont care what it is, knowing exactly how much space you have, filling it and complaining. that is a fools game.

THANK YOU. I think part of nintendo improving itself and not looking like the little baby system is putting some effort into things. How come every other system has had at least 5 or 6 system updates adding feature but the Wii has had 1. And instead of being media related its the voting channel

I think that's because they are destroying MS and Sony in sales at the moment. I think they are saving firmware updates that are actually useful when Wii sales are slumping and are trying to think of creative ways to sell units.

The answer is no to both questions. You can, however, delete them and download them again to the same Wii at any time.
