 Nintendo forced me to make a few hard decisions yesterday.
I had to decide what games would make the cut on my Wii.
See, I’m a frequent Virtual Console buyer with an almost full system memory, and with the introduction of the new WiiWare service, I had to figure out just how I could download just two of the newly released titles. Surprisingly, it took almost an hour.
First I had to get onto the Wii Shop and see how many free blocks of memory I needed tin order to download “ LostWinds ” and “ Defend Your Castle .” They’re 259 and 121 respectively, totaling 380 free memory blocks. My Wii only had 27 free since last week’s “Nintendo Channel” download, which I had to make space for by removing the “Check Mii Out Channel” (clearing up 123 blocks).
My options were slim since I really wanted to avoid removing any of my VC games, but I also had to make room for these new WiiWare games.
So some tough decisions had to be made, and I learned some interesting things about my Wii along the way…
I started with my save files. I figured that I could nickel and dime some space to start, and then go for the big stuff to push me over the edge. Unfortunately, I ran into two problems; I had a wealth of save files that I didn’t want to remove, and the ones I wanted to get rid of couldn’t be copied. In other words, I wasn’t able to make up any space from clearing out save files, which only left me with removing channels and games.
