Rodriguez says that company representatives asked him for his credit card number and the date that he purchased the Wii Points cards that he used to buy the games. When he couldn't give them the latter information, the Nintendo rep got suspicious, he told Wired. Eventually, Rodriguez's second Wii did die, and all of his games went with it.
This isn't the first time that Nintendo has tripped up with its solution for digital game delivery. The Wii shipped with a paltry megabytes of onboard storage, which users quickly filled with games.
A Nintendo executive's flippant response to Wired. That's just the normal issue of space. I mean, really, are you using every single thing on there? Eventually, as the problem became worse and worse, it took Nintendo until to develop a system that allowed users to download to and run games from SD cards. Thus far, Nintendo has avoided a significant amount of scrutiny over its DRM policy, since few consumers have had occasion to replace their consoles.
But with the launch of new consoles that might tempt users to upgrade, the issue will likely begin to appear more often. Because the Wii U doesn't have GameCube controller ports, only up to four player games can be played on the system.

Wii Menu 4. If the console runs out of memory, the SD menu will offer to move other channels to the SD card.

A game which in its original cartridge form did not have any form of save feature will not have any save game feature on the Virtual Console though depending on its original system it may have the suspend feature as described below. Most first-party N64 games used internal cartridge memory for game save data and thus will save properly on the Virtual Console. A select few first-party and nearly all other N64 game cartridges utilized the extra memory capability of the N64 Controller Pak.
An extreme example is that of Mario Kart 64 which uses internal cartridge memory for progress and save game data. Consequently, all progress is saved properly since it was saved to the cartridge itself but one of the features in Mario Kart 64 saving ghosts for racing at a later date will not work since that particular feature utilized the Controller Pak, and the option to copy data to the Controller Pak won't function in those games.
Like other emulation software, the Wii Virtual Console enables the user to suspend play of a game at any time. To do this, users simply return to the Wii main menu from the game.
Note that suspending play enables the player to pause the game indefinitely but does not function as a 'save state' in that, once the game is resumed, the user will be able to pause play again overwriting the suspend point but will not be able to return to the previously suspended state. The suspend feature will not be available if the user resets the Wii with the reset button on the front of the console during gameplay.
Further, if the Wii loses power during gameplay, there will be no further suspend state, nor will there be a way to restart from the previous suspend state. There are some exceptions, however. Arcade games released by Bandai Namco feature an updated menu and when reset during gameplay the save state will be saved before the console is reset. The store updates irregularly on Tuesdays.

As a consumer, I have experience with every Nintendo platform and, I think every accessory, including the Superscope, with the exception of the Virtual Boy In response to an August price drop on the Nintendo 3DS hardware, Nintendo announced plans to give early adopters of the system a number of Virtual Console releases as appreciation of their support.
On February 1, , Punch-Out!! R-Type and Alien Crush were later added a few months later in February, the following year. As of now, no new TG games have been added to the Virtual Console service.
