Screw you, Virtual Console.

I've heard they won't do a Wii to Wii transfer unless your old Wii has a hardware malfunction or goes belly-up. I'm not going to break my family's Wii....and I also heard that it's a 4-week+ downtime. That's totally crap.

I think I'm done with the Virtual Console. It's one of the few things I really love about the Wii. But this cryptic approach to DRM is antiquated and dumb.

I don't know about that one. I doubt they'll refuse to transfer them if you are willing to send them both Wiis in. But Nintendo has to get off their asses and change this. Sony actually lets you authorize up to 5 ( I think) PS3's which I still don't understand but is a better solution. You can de-authorize a system you will no longer use and have that spot open. EA did the same thing with Crysis 2 for PC, which I own. This is better while still keeping that same principle of not letting indefinite system download the same games. But I think everyone has to catch up to steam and XBL.
