    my sis gave me back my wii after a year. it's a little beat up, but it works fine. there isn't any game i want on the system other than hajime no ippo, but i'm waiting for the price to drop prior to picking it up.

    i'm currently searching the virtual console games and one game i MUST buy is Kid Icarus. i'm not sure what other hidden gems are are on the VC cuz i've been wii less for a year. what do you think is a MUST buy VC game???

    i'm making a list so i don't forget to purchase them in a couple of days.

    NES
    kid icarus (500)

    SNES
    sim city (800)
    super mario world (800)
    legend of mystical ninja (800)

    N64
    sin and punishment (1,200)

    GENESIS
    gunstar heroes (800)
    wonderboy in monster world (800)

    TG16
    military madness (600)
    monster lair (800)
    ninja spirit (600)
    splatterhouse (600)

    neo geo
    magician lord (900)

    that's a lot of VC games i'm going to be buying soon :(
    this was a nice trip down memory lane because i've probably played and beat roughly half of the VC games.

    i wonder when their going to release battle of olympus for NES??

    almost forgot, i don't think the internal memory in the wii can hold all these games. can i store the game in a SD card? or do i have to delete and redownload them when i want to play them?

    ^ Wii remotes will not work. The wii "classic" controller will work for all games. Or Gamecube controllers will work for most games.

    You can't store the games on an SD card. When you need space, simply delete the game and then re-download it when you want it again. (You won't have to pay for the game again.)

    I just got a Wii Points card, and now I'm deciding on the games I want, too. So far, my wife wants Super Mario 2 and 3, and I want Zelda: Link to the Past. Eventually, I may get Super Mario World and Super Mario 64, too.

    This site might help you out.

    Virtual console games cost points. You can either buy points online through the Wii or buy one of these cards at a retail store.

    Ok cool. I am looking for a X-mas gift for my brother and I think that is it. How much do points cost and how many points does a typical game run?
