i am going to buy a 2GB SD card some time, but for now i have to use the Wii memory.

i would like to make sure if i delete a game, is it free to download it again? and what about my save files?

also if you can download for free again can you ALWAYS download again? or only for some time? just want to make sure i dont lose money having to buy them again heh..

When you've purchased a game from the WII-Shop, u can delete it and download it for free again as much as u want.

Done it myself, nothing to worry about

The save files and game files are located in different places, meaning you can delete the actual game while leaving your save file intact. Your VC and Wiiware save data is stored with your normal Wii game save data, while the actual game itself is stored in the channel memory.

Don't forget, you can't play a game directly from a SD card. It must be on the Wii's internal memory for the game to be played, period.

Not really, but it takes longer for games that take up more memory.
