Welcome to the list of Virtual Console game sizes
Virtual
Console is a service for the Nintendo Wii that allows gamers to
purchase and download games originally from older consoles. The games
are saved on Wii's internal 512 MB flash memory, which is the
equivalent of more than 2000 so called "memory blocks". Once the memory
is full, Virtual Console games can no longer be downloaded, and to free
space you have to delete games or move them to SD cards (note that
deleted games can be redownloaded with no extra cost, and games on SD
cards need to be moved back in order to be played). The goal of this
site is to provide a comprehensive list of the amount of memory blocks
each game takes, in order to help people plan their purchases or simply
cure their curiosity.
Games are listed alphabetically within
their consoles (NES, SNES, N64, Genesis and TurboGrafx, plus Wii Ware), and each game
has one bracket for each region, as different game versions tend to
differ in size, aswell as one for the size of the save file.
As we can't possibly get all of the games
ourselves to find out, we rely heavily on contributions. If you have a
game which doesn't have its size listed for your region, please send an
email to vcsizes@gmail.com You will get credit.
Remember
to state which game and console, aswell as your region of purchase and
(of course) the game size in memory blocks. This can be found by going
to the Wii options menu (bottom left circle in channel menu), select
Data Management and then Channels, select the game in question and you
should see the number of blocks written in a small box. Remember to pick Channels rather than Save Data, as the numbers there are for the game saves rather than the games themselves.
The sizes of the game saves are all the same for a particular console, so for a full total of the block number, add the following:
Nintendo Entertainment System games: 1
Super NES games: 4
Nintendo 64 games: 1
Sega Genesis/Mega Drive games: 2
Turbografx 16 games: 4
Wii Ware saves are irregular, so they have a seperate column for each channel save size.
