And yes I could just emulate the game myself on my PC or mod my wii if I wanted to, but my old Wii has some precious cargo on it and I don't trust myself not to screw up the memory storage somehow. I can have a little commodity fetishism, as a treat

You can backup that data with a modded Wii if it's that important to you. I know it sounds intimidating, but these things are a lot easier than you think. Just read through the instructions in full before you start.
