Okay, long story short, for the time being my girlfriend's bro is letting me borrow his Wii (basically he is letting me use it while he's out of state for college this semester), so since I planned on having it for atleast a few months, I went ahead and download a few VC titles. Now, I know you're able to transfer your VC saved data onto a SD flash card, but can you transfer the actual full game to the SD card and move it to another Wii? If so, then I'll just transfer all my titles to a flash card and move them after I buy a new Wii later on; if not, then I'll just buy the titles over again :P

Thanks in advance for your answer.

No, you can't, I'm afraid. You can quickly see why this is the case if you think about it: if it were possible to do this, then you could get situations where a circle of friends all own Wiis and one guy buys Virtual Console games and then distributes the games to everyone else. This would obviously eat into their revenue from the Virtual Console quite heavily if it could be done. Nintendo does have a policy where if your Wii breaks you can send it in and they'll transfer your Wii Shop account to a new one. But this cannot be done between two working Wiis.

So, sorry dude, but you're gonna have to buy them again.

Fully priced as in the fifty-some dollars you pay for retail games, I think he means.

Why don't you keep that Wii and buy him a new one? Just transfer his save files.
