    Not a whole lot.. definitely not enough to worry about downloading limits.

    As far as i know, VC Games typically range at about a MB or so (for the lower end consoles - Nes / Megadrive) to 12MB - 15MB (for the upper end - N64)

    Honest to god, if you are resigned to playing retro games away from their native hardware thenyou might as do it, for free, on the PC via any number of emulators, more games, more versatile, and all you may need extra is a decent PC control pad and off you go, far superior to the VC stuff, bar perhaps the N64 games.

    It's not the same if you have to sit in an uncomfortble office chair and wait for a PC to boot up. Or if you have an idiot family member addicted to bebo.
