Posted September 16, 2006 As a friend of mine has stated he won't buy the vc games he will simply steal them off the internet and plug a controller into his PC and play NES, SNES and N64 games. Fixed for clarity. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted September 16, 2006 Fixed for clarity. Its not stealing, they could of simply made all Nintendo own content on the VC games to be free, like Mario 64, Super Mario World and the rest Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My guess is that the games are tied to your account on wii24, which would be like they are on Xbox Live iirc. That would make you able to use any old SD card, but you could only play the games verified by your account. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted September 16, 2006 Iwata: "The games will definitely not be free" I interpret that as no promotions.. but Jobs said that and now you have Coke and Pepsi and GAP giving songs away. SD is a standard, of course it will work providing it is functional and SD. Doubt any accessories or anything requiring drivers will work though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted September 16, 2006 SD is a standard, of course it will work providing it is functional and SD. Indeed you are correct about that. As long as it follows SD standard (up to 2GB cards) my guess is that they'll work flawlessly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted September 16, 2006 your not reading what I am saying Takeo: A brand such as Kodak SD cards: Allow you to put videos and pictures on the Wii Nintendo's own SD cards: Allow you to download VC games Allow you to store saves An SD card is an SD card, it doesn't matter if it was made by Nintendo or Kodak it'll do exactly the same. As for the VC games, I'd imagine that getting the VC to run dumped roms off the net rather than just VC provided games will be one of the first things Chinese hackers will be attempting.
