1. It's true but at least you you don't have to be online to play
them if you have to re-download a copy (as with the 360 which sucks!).
2. They'll MP3 the tracks, same as was done with Castlevania: SOTN on
the 360, That download on 360 was only about 100mb. The Playstation
Network version is a full Rip and comes to about 300mb or something
(I've got em both, if you have a PS3 and PSP I highly recomend it!
SOTN on the go is awesome!).
3. You CAN copy complete games to SD card, It's just that they are
tied to your Wii. I've tried it before and they copy fine. You go to
Copy>Channel rather than Copy> Save games.
I reckon in a later update they'll allow you to run stuff off of SD
card. They said at launch that there would be support for external
HDD's too.
I moved over to the States recently from England and it's been a
godsend having the virtual console as I had to sell off pretty much
my entire games collection before moving as I just didn't have the
space.
Hope that helps!
Cheers!
