virtual consle roms

[halojames]

how much memory do you think the virtual consle games will take if it dosent take much you might not need better memory or u should be able to store them on your pc.

i doubt you'll be able to store on your pc, but there are rumors that you will be able to use an external hard drive via usb. and the roms aren't supposed to be very big. nes is 8-bit, so make your guesses based on that i suppose...

[Wii3Kings]

they say that you can re-download the games you buy for free. most of these games will be so tiny it isn't worth backing them up

super mario 64 is 8 mb not very big. since there 8-bit graphics i'd say under half a meg

[LordJulian]

I read that there should be enough space to fit the entire nintendo libraby of games on it withoutmuch trouble but if it did than you can delete and redownload later for free. So most likely itll be very small for all

[Lil J]

at least a thousand or so for nes and snes

[LordJulian]

and probably at least 100 for the 64

[Lil J]

yeah that sounds about right

[theduke32]

i have a ssb rom for my computer which is 16 mb. 512/16 = 32 n64 games. the format for the wii may be different (more or, (hopefully not) less compressed than the current roms), which would affect the amount of games you could store at a time.

one that would be cool when you download
the vc games that nintendo will have them
in a format that takes alot less space.
