Did I just purchase a Wii?

I thought it was a given that the Virtual Console had the greatest library ever, even better than the PSWii60.

And yet it keeps getting ignored.

Some of the greatest games ever made on most genres, and most people act like it doesn't exist.

I blame Nintendo for this one. More exposure plz!

 

I thought the VC use is limited by the rather short built in memory card on the Wii, is it not?

Not really. Once you've purchased a game, you can re-download it at any time for free, so it's basically unlimited storage space. As Manuelf also points out, an $8 SD card can store literally hundreds of games, and transferring files from the Wii to the SD card takes as little as ten seconds (the most I've waited recently was twenty seconds). Also, VC games tend to be puny: Secret of Mana takes up much less than a hundred block (the Wii has thousands of blocks).

Storage is a minor pain, but not really a detriment.
