I'm surprised that these people still exist, even my grandparents have internet access.
But to answer the question: No. You need to download the software with the same Wii you intend to use it on, other Wiis will not play the file on the SD card. What you could do is borrow her Wii and download it at your place or something and return it to her.

I don't expect any highly anticipated titles for the xmas update. Of course I'd like Nintendo to prove me wrong, but I doubt it will happen. My next birthday is on a Monday though. March 9. EarthBound plz? Come on, I bought this game from you in 1995. I was 8 years old! Don't you think it's time you let me buy it again?
They probably can't get past their own epic anti-piracy measures. That's gotta be why we don't have EarthBound yet. Yeah, that's it. Nintendo > Nintendo.

Hilarious if true. Time was spent disabling passwords in Kid Icarus and upping/replacing textures in N64 games, but not skipping a simple if statement?

I like this line of thought. From now on I will think of Nintendo as a company at war with itself.Nintendo Playstation said:
NoA Exec: Men! Prepare to launch the VC games! We have to break through the lines!
NoA Peon: But sir, the anti-piracy fire is just too strong.
NoA Exec: If we can get even one game through, then we have a chance! Launch Earthbound, Phantasy Star 4, Sonic and Knuckles, Final Fantasy 3, Enduro Racer, and all the others!
NoA Peon: But, it's a suicide run!
NoA Exec: Do it! We have to save those gamers! Save them from ourselves.

Do want.

I'd love that! I'm not from the US but have imported my Wii, so it is rather difficult for me to acquire WiiPoints. I'd appreciate that code very much, and I do have a blog in which I review games (but in German, not in English, so I don't know if that counts).

Nice update, bodes well for the US Christmas update and the EU VC Boxing Day update!

I wanted to buy it to play it over the w/e but I guess I'll have to pass for the time being, probably in the next couple of weeks I'll have more time and less backlog to make room for the game and such.

Can you elaborate?

I still fail to see why it's so difficult for Nintendo to juggle both WiiWare and VC. This makes no sense.

Wait, does this mean that we aren't going to get Dracula X ever?

That seems kind of short-sighted at this point. They've basically released their entire 1st party US HuCard library (although there are a few Taito and Namco US releases that haven't come out yet). However, they still have a number of potential CD titles and imports remaining though.

I'm really tired of WiiWare and VC being treated as one service. There should be three VC games and at least one WiiWare game released every single week w/o exception.

What did they say exactly? (Word for word)
Could be temporary, could be till the end of the year, may only count 1st Party games, may or may not include Rondo of Blood!!!
So... we've been surviving for months in Europe with a crapload of Turbografx games almost nobody cared for (aside from WiiWare). Does this mean we're now getting a flood of crappy Commodore64 and Master System games to fill the hole left by Hudson?
What about the whole lot of N64 and SNES games still unreleased? 14 N64 games and all of them first party is clearly not what anybody expected, and it's been months since we last saw a decent SNES game except for some good scarce bits here and there.

What they said exactly is that they have "no more plans to release any games on the Virtual Console in the west."Nuclear Muffin said:
I'm not sure if they even mean non-TG games with that (Since they've only released like three of those in the US and two in Europe), I'll ask.
It's sad to see Hudson give up support like that especially when they were probably the best supporter of VC. If it's true then that partially explains why EU and NA are hurting bad right now for VC games. Losing a whole system library (which in Japan makes up a good 3-4 games a month) is basically removing one release from each week.
I really hope they reconsider.

I'm hopeful this really is just a hiatus for the sake of concentrating on WiiWare for the time being. So much left over unpublished though. Heck, there are domestic Turbo CDs that still remain.
