Topic: How often do you play retail disc games compared to downloaded WiiWare/VC games?

I barely play disc games now. All I want is what I've downloaded from the Shop. When a new retail game comes out that I want, then I'll play that for a while of course, but even then there's not much I want. The last game was Tatsunoko vs. Capcom and the next game will be Super Mario Galaxy 2. Whereas I download about two to three WiiWare or VC games every month.

I play downloaded games I think about 1/3 of the time.

I spend more time overall playing downloaded games. But the ones that I have spent longest playing individually are all retail games.

I probably play the same amount of time on retail games and downloadable games.

Man, that's a tough one. I'm not being sarcastic either (for once ) . I'd say probably downloaded games because I'm lazy and don't like changing discs constantly when I tire of playing a game (I'm bad about playing a game all out for a couple of hours, then tiring of it for a day or so, rinse repeat) so I just start up a VC or WiiWare game.

I used to play downloadable games more, but I'm trying to keep a handle on how many downloadables I purchase due to the inevitable fact that WiiWare/VC games will not be transferrable to the next Nintendo system.

50/50

I usually start with a disc game, then head to the SD card because it's easier than getting up.

I can't remember the last time I played a Wii game, Brawl stopped working a few months ago, I hadn;t played anything for a while before then, or since then.

Since I'm playing Melee a bit I might be 80/20 VCware/GC

I'm about even in terms of playing discs vs downloads. I tend to buy WAY more downloads though.

I hardly ever play downloads, they just don't feel right in my opinion.

both, but if I could i'd prefer Wiiware so I know I'm not ruining the laser.

Mostly downloaded. I need to get a Wii cleaning kit because of stupid errors all the time.

I only play disc games if playing with friends, which is rare since we only get together so often and prefer board games. NSMBW and Brawl take care of all our multi-player needs, and I stick to Bit Trip and VC games when playing alone.

I play WiiWare/VC games way more than my discs.

I hardly ever play retail games anymore.

I play downloadable games more, but I play retail games for longer periods of time.

I'm tending to play more disc games for the Wii. Much though I prefer the convenience of downloads, there are only really a handful of games that stand up to the best disc ones due to the size constraints. Also, with discounted and second hand games it's often possible to get full on epics for the same price as a throwaway download.

I play downloaded games about 90% of the time.

Virtual Console 80 % (downloaded about 50 VC games so far)
Retail games: 20 % (may improve this year thanks to Metroid: Other M and SMG2)
WiiWare: 0 % (I haven't downloaded any WiiWare game.)

On my Xbox360: 70 % retail, 30 % Xbox Live Arcade games

Since I only recently just got my first Wiware game(which I have yet to play) and havent play any retail games for my Wii since around Christmas. That would put my Wiware to retail ratio close to around 0:0.
