well, i never said that i download them, so im still within legal bounds on the surface. :wub:besides, downloading a Wii Game. Nearly every game is over 500MB each (exclusions are Wii Play and Super Paper Mario). You'd be insane, wasting time and download capacity, if you downloaded Super Smash Bros.Brawl or Metroid Prime Trilogy, both of which are about 7.5 GB (7,500 MB). besides, by copying of a real disc that you own, it wouldn't really be some random's rom, would it now?

I only download DS games. I don't have much time to play Wii games, so I prefer to only buy the ones I know I will end up playing for a long time. Downloading them will be too complicated lol.

I usually prefer to buy games, even though I don't really buy that many games. I might download if I see a game that looks really good that I really want. Although I would need to go out and buy me a wii shop channel card/credit thing (something around those lines.)

I buy all my games, I want the box and the satisfaction of spending money and getting the bonus at the store I buy all my games in :mellow: Haven't even tried the downloading thingy, seems so.. Complicated for my lazy brain.

I prefer to buy my Wii games. The developers that make the games I like deserve the reward they're entitled to. In my opinion if it's not worth buying, it's not worth playing. Which is why I don't download games just for the hell of it.

I always buy my games. If I was given a Wii points card though then I would use it to my advantage.

I buy all my Wii/WiiWare games. I don't like to download stuff for free when it's still new, when the money could be going to the developers who worked hard on the game.I have nothing against downloading older games, though - NES, SNES, etc. If I go out and buy copies of those games, the money isn't going to the developers, and they've long since made all their profits off of it. I find VC to be a bit of a ripoff in most cases. I generally only care about NES/SNES/N64/GB games... GB games aren't even available on VC anyway, and as for N64 I have a collection so I prefer to have the physical copies. Anyway, long story short, I've downloaded hundreds of ROMs so I'm by no means innocent, and no judgements against people who pirate newer games but I personally don't feel right about it. Not to mention the bandwidth it would take to download all those new games. Yowza.
