Nintendo Wii Storage Solution Announced

About a month ago, to address rumors surrounding what Nintendo would do about a storage solution for the Wii to hold all downloaded content, Nintendo America president Reggie Fils-Aime emphatically stressed that the answer would not involve a hard drive. Now it seems that Nintendo was true to its word. According to Satoru Iwata in a recent press conference, the Wii storage solution will simply use the SD card slot. Starting next year, gamers will be able to load games directly from the SD card slot (not like homebrewers weren’t doing it already) and will also be able to save downloadable content directly to the SD card as well.
So that’s it, after months of speculation, Nintendo has decided it will do absolutely nothing hardware-wise to address the storage problem. The fix is going to be done completely through software, with a system firmware update to the Wii. Sorry, but it looks like there’s not going to be any Xbox360 or PS3 type storage capability coming to the Wii any time soon.
