OMFG excellent :D So getting this when I get back from my Christmas break. See if I can get the old Haduken going again ;)

Question: Can I buy WiiPoints online or do I need to buy the WiiPoints package from competitors?

I do hope that Street Fighter II won't be 50Hz. There'll be a lot of disappointed people out there if it is. The PAL version was almost in slow motion.

Well if you want to get pedantic... looks like US law is on my side:

As long as my orignal machine is broken or under maintenance

Plus who said I was playing THOSE games? I could be playing some freeware :D

well, we're not in the US. this is the uk and you arent allow to play roms on the pc period. Any laws regarding backups were just that - backups incase the original failed.

regardless, talk of emulation and roms isnt allow here. the wii virtual consoel is of course, a different story.
