I doubt it, and if you could it would be illegal

It would be illegal... plus, the only games that the Wii can play directly of his hard-drive, are VC games, and those are protected so you can only play them on the console that downloaded them.

Hmm, savegames might work. And I dont think it'd be illegal...

No, this is just downloading saved games, so it seems perfectly legal (and board acceptable) to me.

Interesting. A save file trading system? I can see how some may like it, but to me it totally defeats the purpose of playing games, in the first place. With no real sense of achievement, what's the point? *shrugs*

I'm not sure what the point of this specific site is; GameFAQs have been offering downloadable saves for a long time. Of course, in the case of the Wii, the lack of a proprietary storage format makes it much easier. With something like the PS2, you'd have to buy some kind of interface to transfer the saves to a PS2 memory card, but it's a lot easier with an SD card.

Yeah, it's great if you want to skip single player in games like Wario Ware to get multiplayer unlocked.
