if ure jsut wondering about wii game saves.....u dont need to. most game save on wii are 2-4 blocks in size. it would take thousands to fill the wiis internal memory. the biggest save ive seen so for endless ocean, which is 32 blocks per account (and u can have 3 accounts so i can go up to 96). but thats very much the exception.
however the VC is also demanding on memory and, depending on how many u buy, the internal memory can quickly fill up.
if u want to check how much space u have then u can go into the memory management menu by clicking on the wii icon at the bottom left of the screen.

I think madden takes up more space, my game save in madden 08 is like 34 blocks, but that's for everything, not one file.
How Much Space does Sin & Punishment take up, because that is one of the main games I want on the VC, I have yet to buy any VC games yet.Nintendo_Ownes7
It takes up a few hundred blocks. I'm not sure the exact number but I could check if you really want me to.
Hey everybody, please pardon but I've been too busy playing on my wii to read the latest news, anyway has anybody suggested to Nintendo directly to at least have support for bigger sd cards or maybe USB flash drives, because yea 2GB on an sd card is alot but with wiiware coming out and the vc getting bigger theres going to be some people (like me) who are not going to want to delete their downloaded games even if you can redownload them for free. Its just easier if Nintendo made support for bigger storage devices then to have to manage your Wiis memory every other day to fit a new game you want to download or to save the new version of madden on it.
As a side note: The Wii does not have a memory card per se (discountingthose for GCN games). Rather it does support standard Secure Digital cards, but games neither save nor load directly off of them (you would need to transfer saves to and from internal space manually)
@j3c1987: Supporting bigger SD cards would require support for SDHC (SD2.0), which would mean hardware changes. Support for generic USB storage Device drivers (which are used by most Jump Drives, card readers and even USB hard drives) could be made possible through a firmware update, but I doubt they'll do it if only just because of worry that it could be exploited for piracy.
