Before I bought SSBB, I owned a bunch of virtual console games, and I had downloaded all the Wii channels. But when I got Brawl, I had to delete everything except for one NES game (which took up only one block of space) to make room for the 128 blocks Brawl requires me to have. I went to my friend's house, and he had several VC games (though not as many as me) and all the channels, and he had no such problem, implying that his Wii, which he bought before I got mine, has more internal memory. What's wrong with my Wii's internal memory? Basically, right now I have 129 blocks, 128 of which are used by Brawl. And I could only copy some of my VC games to my SD card, so everything else is just gone for good.

you might have a too many replays nd stages saved, if anything just buy an sd card they are pretty cheap and worth the money

It's not that. As soon as I bought the game, I had to make room for it. I still don't have any saved replays or screenshots.

I'm confused. There is no such thing as an NES game which takes up one block of space. The save data for the game might take up one block but not the game itself. The game itself takes up at least 20 blocks.

I wonder if you are deleting the save data and thinking you are actually deleting the games. To delete the games, you have to go to the "Channels" section of the storage management. I have a hunch you've still actually got all your VC games, which is why so much of the memory on your Wii is used.

Also, you don't lose the games themselves when you delete them. You can re-download the VC games you've purchased free of charge.

Yeah, I'm with this guy. I found it confusing for a couple minutes when I first looked at it too. Hope you didn't have any important saves because it sounds like you've deleted them all.

Yeah you probably deleted your save games. To delete VC games you have to delete them in the "Channels" menu in the options on the Wii.

It seems that you didn't erased the VC games, just their save data.
