Question about the Wii

Post » Thu Dec 15, 2011 8:53 pm

Ok so I have a few questions about the very feminine Wii.

1: I'm a huge fan of the N64, and I'd love to play all my old favorites again; Ocarina of Time, Majora's Mask, Donkey Kong 64, Super Mario 64, and Goldeneye.

I'd also love to be able to play Wind Waker again.

Are all of those games I can download via the Wii..market..place..thing? Are there any limits/stipulations on this? What are the prices of the games in general?

2: How big is the hard drive on a Wii?

3: Does the Wii have a wireless card? I only have access to wifi, I would have to download all of this stuff via wireless. If it doesn't have wireless support, I may as well not even buy it to begin with, as the main reason I want to buy it is for the fact that I can download all of these classic games in high rez.

Yes, all of those games are either on the market or have been re-released, in the case of Goldeneye. You have to have a gamepad or Gamecube controller to play them. You CAN play Wind Waker on it but you need to have a physical copy of it on Gamecube. I also think that there is a wireless function and online is free.

1. You can download N64 games on the Wii shop channel, they don't have Donkey Kong 64 or Goldeneye though. Wind Waker you can't download, but you can play the GameCube disc in the Wii.

2. 512MB

3. Yes it has wireless. No the games aren't high resolution, they're the same visual quality as the N64 games and the Wii only displays up to 480p resolution.

512 MB? That's it? That won't even save one game..I don't see how that works. How do people have like every single N64 game saved on their Wii? My friend has like 20 N64 games saved on his Wii. How is this possible with only 512 MB HD.

Also, do you have any idea how much the games cost? The n64 ones?

Nintendo 64 games came on cartridges, they are not as big as CD-ROM games. I think 64MB is the maximum size for an N64 cartridge.

I think N64 games are around $10-15
