Since we are speaking of space ... now that I've downloaded a WiiWare title I am under 400 blocks.

Thus, I am wondering, do the Mario Kart channel and the Wii Fit channel do anything that I really need to do (or cannot do do with just the game in the system)?

Mike from Morgantown

 The Mario Kart channel is mostly useless, as you have to have the disk in to do anything useful.

 The Wii Fit channel is actually pretty nice. It lets you view all the graphs, and perform a body test without inserting the disk. So if you just want to do a quick weigh in before starting up your morning rounds of Mario kart, you don't have to switch discs at all.




If you drop a PS3 right on top of a Wii, it would definitely defeat it. Not so sure about the Xbox360. - mancandy

Thanks Ferret, final and arsenal. (I will add them later, as I am hungry now )

I may also have to add some kind of note to some of them, because I just updated F-Zero (SNES) and it now takes up 1 less block than it did before.

I notice that ferret1603's Metal Slug Anthology save file is MUCH larger than mine -- 29 vs. 5 blocks! This and Resident Evil 4 Wii Edition (11 me vs. 4 TWRoO) suggests that some games have a save file that increases in size depending on usage. (I have sadly barely played my copy of MSA, whereas I am pretty obsessed with RE4WE and am using all available save slots.)

That's the best explanation I can think of, unless my Wii is some sort of mutant.

 ALL 20 (I think) of them?

If so I think you may be correct,
I think I have 3 save files for normal setting (1 is on it's 10th run, one is on the 8th but is a copy of the one on it's 10th (I split it after the 6th) and one is a sepeate start file but now on it's third)
I have 1 file on easy (2nd run through)
1 file on hard (4th run)
and 1 for Ada's Seperate ways (3rd/4th I think)

So that's only 6 in all.

Thanks Marcus.

Yeah, I like to have a save file parked before a bunch of neat stuff that happens so I can easily relive it or show someone ... or so I can "undo" the last couple hours if I decide I would rather not have done something.

So basically, I'm sprawled out all over while you have one save file for the whole playthrough.

@final... I did a similar thing with OoT... I kept a save file before you enter the Dark Link chamber.

@ marcus... Yes I shall do it now.
