If so, how does that process work? I know you have to buy a card or something, and you choose the games to get. Does anyonw know how expensive stuff is, or where one can find a list of available games, or where to buy these games?

Once you have registered your Wii online you can use Wii Points to download games. You can purchase the Wii points online at the Wii Shop channel or buy a points card from certain retailers.

The points each game costs to download varies but is normally between 500-1000 points.

the following is a link to the old console games you can download

The Wii can also take old Gamecube discs but you will need a Gamecube controller and possibly memory card.

Thanks a lot! I was hoping for more N64 games than there are like Banjo Kazooie and stuff.

I forgot to mention if you register on nintendo's website you can then register your new products and receive star points, star points can then be exchanged for the Wii points i mentioned in my other post plus other things.
