Considering that Nintendo offers you unlimited online storage for all of your Virtual Console games you had no reason to buy one.Jaysonguy
It saves time. It's faster to transfer a game from your SD card to your Wii rather than download it again. But that's the only reason I can really see.

Not much. The transfer rate between Wii and the SD card is terrible. I've tried really good, fast cards too.
I still prefer keeping stuff on the card though rather than having to load up the Shop Channel.
@ bryehngeocef: That depends entirely on one's Internet speed. Unless somebody is using a fiber optic line it would be more efficient to transfer larger (as in not NES) games using the SD card. I have a 512mb card in my Wii. I've a 2gb card for my camera which I could use but I have yet to download many Virtual Console games so I've not required it for storing games.
I don't need one yet but I'm probably going to need one soon. I'm down to about 300-400 blocks of memory. Even though Nintendo does let you redownload all your VC games I think I'd prefer the peace of mind to have them on an sd card.
