Saving Virtual Console game titles
Virtual Console game titles are saved in the Wii console memory.
• A Virtual Console title can be copied onto a SD Card, but cannot be played on a
different Wii console. It must be played on the original console it was downloaded to.
Saving Game Save Data
Save data for Virtual Console game titles is saved in the Wii console memory, and may
be copied to an SD Card. Note that some games do not have a save feature or
allow data to be copied to an SD Card.
For more information on using SD Cards, see page 32 in the Operations Manual -
System Setup, and pages 40-41 in the Operations Manual - Channels and Settings.
Suspending Your Game
Some Virtual Console games allow you to suspend your game and return to it at a
later time. When you suspend play, a Suspend Point is created and saved in the Wii
console memory.
• A Suspend Point is deleted when you resume the game.
• You cannot copy a Suspend Point to an SD Card, even if you move the Virtual
Console game title to an SD Card.
NOTE: If you accidentally press RESET or turn off the power of the Wii Remote
or console, you may lose the Suspend Point.
