Virtual Console games are locked to the Wii on which they were purchased—they cannot be transferred to another Wii via an SD card, although it is possible to purchase games in the Wii Shop Channel and send them as gifts to people on their Wii Friends list.
Virtuaalkonsooli mängud on lukustatud Wiile, millele nad on ostetud – neid ei saa üle kanda teisele Wiile SD-kaardi kaudu, kuigi on võimalik osta mänge Wii Shop Channelis ja saata neid kingitustena inimestele Wii Sõbrad nimekirja kaudu.
