Customer Reviews

Handy, but not always so easy
This is very handy for getting Virtual Console and WiiWare games. I just find it annoying that this card comes in a case with instructions, when the only really important thing in this case is the card. Sure it is handy for games and DVD's that don't have a case, but you can't have them lying all over the place!

There's not much else to say about the card, because that's all it's for. To get Virtual Console and/or WiiWare games.

Great
I really like playing Wii games on this, the virtual console is neat.

*Incompatible with Wii Remote. All games can can use a classic controller, but it is essential for incompatible with Wii Remote ones. Most games can also use a Gamecube controller, but several Turbografx games cannot use it.

# Some of the games on this console are compatible with the Wii Remote.

So, get a Wii Remote, Classic Controller and Gamecube Controller to fully enjoy these games. All the current games on Virtual Console are great, so take your pick and enjoy.

Be careful where you buy them!
Purchased two of these cards from Amazon.co.uk, supplied through indigostarfish.com, an amazon partner. Tried to upload them and found that they were the wrong region and so they could not be used. Technical support suggested buying locally and not from the internet if you want to be sure.
