Could someone direct me to a site to download (for free or fee) games for the Wii from any platform? I'm itching to play Shadows of the Empire and Street Fighter II.

For a start, roms are illegal, but if ur that desperate, romulation has some good stuff.

Got one, works great. We've been downloading classic NES games but they have limited titles

Street Fighter II World Champs is 1500 Wii points (kind of expensive). I was hoping I might be able to buy it outright for $5 or something somewhere and other games for comparable amounts instead of using points because you have you buy blocks of points in the thousands. for $10, $20, $50...

If you've got an actual Sega Genesis, I managed to get a CIB copy for $2 at Value Land. It's a pretty common cart, but it's impossible to play without a six-button pad (otherwise you have to press start to switch between kicking and punching).
