Famousringo, a SD card can save you a lot of money. But I don't now about your saves :/

Nah, that wouldn't work. The games on an SD card are still linked to one Wii and they aren't going to work on another Wii without either being transferred by Nintendo or hacked in some way.

I'm not too worried, since Nintendo's support has such a good reputation. I'm sure they'd repair or replace my Wii at a reasonable price and transfer my Wii shop account to the new hardware. But it is a little sobering to realize just how much money I've sunk into games which rely on Nintendo's good support. And even with Nintendo's reputation, how far into the future will that support extend?

That's the really scary thing about the digital download only future that so many in the industry seem to want.
