Hi everyone,

One of the great features of the Wii is the ability to download older games via Virtual Console. But is it a safe thing to do ? I want to buy older games I previously owned but lost. So since I have a Wii, I could just download them which is easier and cheaper than to look for them on ebay or in small stores.

I thought that some of you already owns VC games and maybe you could tell me if it is safe to buy VC games. I read a little bit about it and I found that some people had lost their downloaded games when they got their Wii repaired, something I obviously don't want to happen to me. I want to keep my games forever . I guess that if my Wii does not break, it should be okay...

So :

-Did you guys have experienced problems with your VC games ?

-Is there a way to backup our files so we won't lose them ?

-Do you suggest me VC games or hard copies ?
