that's a good question. malaysia piracy is in a very bad state, and that is a gross understatement. i live in philippine a long time and even a 3rd world country like that has more disciplined sellers and customers. rental shops make good money there too.

in malaysia, people like me who rely on original games are affected. coz it is hard to rent, trade, buy and sell wii games. so most of my games i source overseas or through preorder, which i would rather not. sangat memalukan being malaysian. it is all mentality. malaysians can afford original games. just look at ps3. it is the most popular console here although people cannot pirate.

hmm.. i guess other ppl feel this too huh..

well, when i browse online for titles, there is quite alot but when i go to shop they are hardly any, even to buy.

right now am looking for games for family/party fun (which is what wii is good at). any recomendations, n where i can find them (and reasonable price to expect?) ?

thx

my wii is mainly used for family fun! so these are my recommendations from the horses mouth:
1. Wii Sports resort (not to be confused with wii sports). think this can easily get from some forummers here. try kyoyagami)
2. Mario kart wii. this one i notice easily to get stocks from some shops
4. Rayman Raving Rabbids TV party. this one a bit difficult to get. but anyway.....

actually the list is a very long one. but i like to share what i have played and i think is a blast for parties and family.

they don't carry wii rental. to the majority rakyat, wii is perceived sama level with ps2, but the majority rakyat is wrong. wii is current gen. sama level with ps3.

but i personally don't believe in rental. done that been there, so i am speaking from experience. i am the type who plays them to death. and if i don't like it, i just sell it, so the difference in the buy and sell price is my rental fee. and so often after renting them, i find that i like it, so i buy it anyway, so rugi renting it. and there is the satisfaction of owning a game. u can touch, read it, and sleep with it. feels so good. that is why i also not like the idea of downloaded games, coz u don't really own it

your downloaded game is part of your console. its not a seperate entity like your disc games. so if your console rosak, or if u sell your console, or when u get a wii 2 to replace it, bye bye wiiware and Vitual console.

even if u transfer to an SD card, the wiiware/VC game is still tied to your console. otherwise we have situations where 1 person download a wiiware game and share it with say100 people. this is called piracy. but of course nintendo have thought about this scenario and don't allow u to do that.

yes they allow. they will even do it for free. but u must go to nintendo of the region u bought. so if us region, u go to nintendo us. dekat aje. and murah aje, like 3 to 4 wiis only. btw, it also applies to DLCs.

this sparks a question, does it apply to your saved game data too? are saved game data transferable to another console? is this game dependent? anybody knows?
