No sorry :\ that's the European cover of the game.  I'm sure someone might have it though
The europeans have some of the best covers ever.  :P

I don't know if I'm the only one who's noticed this, but I'll ask anyway. Does anyone know the amount of blocks the Wii games use? Because there's nowhere on the box where they say how much space they take up, like on other disc based games that used memory cards or internal memory; which are: PS2, Gamecube, Xbox, PS3, Xbox 360 and PSP?

Until you create a save file you really won't know.  None of the case art from what I've seen have ever mentioned how many blocks a save file takes.  I guess it's because it doesn't necessarily matter anymore since most saves can be transfered off the internal memory onto an sd card or other forms of external memory.

Good point. The biggest files I've seen so far are: Super Smash Bros. Brawl (128 blocks), and Need For Speed: Nitro (122 blocks). Every other game I have or had for the Wii was never over 5 blocks.

We should definitely do a collaborative Wii game data usage thread one of these days; with the help of other Wii gamers on TCP of course. So that we can help people who look for that kind of stuff, seeing as how there's no way to know how much space a Wii game takes up until it's saved on the Wii's internal memory.

If we ever do something like this, there should be a WiiWare block size list as well. I've seen a few online, but they're all out-of-date.

When and if we do, I or someone else will put the title as Wii and WiiWare File Block Size List

Honestly...I think that it'd be more trouble then it's worth.  In theory it seems like a great idea and one that isn't all that difficult...but having created a similar type list (except not video game related) I can tell you that it's not easy.  The time and effort being put into the list is a lot...also since i'm sure each post has a character limit you'd need probably 3+ posts right after the initial one reserved.

I mean...more power to the person that chooses to tackle this project but again...just seems like it's a lot of effort for a very small reward.

Btw, do you delete your post then repost it to bump the thread?  Lol, I only ask cause when I saw "new" I clicked thinking that there would be a new post but there wasn't.  Isn't the first time I noticed it either lol

Not really, superchop. It would be very helpful to Wii gamers who would like to know how much space their games take up, so they don't overload on data and then not have enough room for their game files. I know it would take alot of effort for the list, superchop, but I didn't say I'd be doing it by myself, I said it could and would be a collaborative effort from every Wii gamer on here. And yes, I did repost my last reply to bump this thread up, be there anything wrong with that?

Not that there's anything wrong with it, just that I find it a bit annoying when I click on the thread to read a new post and there's nothing new there.

But anyway, this should be in its own thread if you want to generate more attention.

"Scene" release groups already record the actual file size (not block size, which is just a conversion from KB) for WiiWare games.

Ex. 9 x 5 MB. They aren't exact (long story) but are a pretty good estimate.
