It would be cool if the Wii could connect to a USB flash drive.

how can you transfer the vc games to your computer?

I still don't see how this will be done considering the limitation of the systems memory, but I still want a DS Channel.ozzsoad

I still dont see how more than one or two decent sized demos would fit on the 512MB memory.mattyftm

I think a demo channel could work like this, if you don't have them saved to an SD card or something. Once you click on the demo channel it will pull down a list of current available demos and rather than download them to the console you play them from the channel. You wouldn't need any disk space and the game would be constantly available. smileyryder34

Oh yeah, that's true, just like the DS demos being played from the nintendo wi-fi, The DS doesn't have a hard drive or any kind of storage, and it works just fine.

Supposedly there'll be some internet service that will allow a person to use the memory on their pc for their wii so he/she won't have to purchase a hard drive. Unfortunately it's only a rumor but I think it's possible because it happened with the xbox 360.couchpotatoe387

Hopefully you can just play the games right on the channel.LOLhahaDEAD

I think it's just video-demos of the games.SuzumeCake
