Wiiware shouldn't affect vc releases after Wiiware launch week.

 

I don't know how many of the 9 Wiiware games will be making it to North America or Europe. I hope all the info I posted helps.

So if there are a bit more than 2000 blocks in an empty Wii's memory, these are nice and small -- unfortunately that means we probably won't get the chance to run them from the SD slot anytime soon.
