Do you still want a Hard Drive?

The 4.0 update has been released. You can now run downloadable games off SD cards and blalalalalalalahahah

LOOK! Maybe SD cards aren't the way to go for data storage...Or are they? Are they? I dunno...Just post or vote, okay?

Do U still want a Hard Drive for the Nintendo Wii?

I don't see the point for it anymore. Opening up the SD card allows for a number of consumer friendly options for whoever needs the space. I got a 2 GB card for about $11, and thats more than enough space for my WiiWare and VC games. I also appreciate how the flash card is multifunctional, unlike prior memory cards or other proprietary Hard Drives, I can use it for photos, music, and video in a number of different devices.

However, I do wish Nintendo could do something about the ownership issue, given that its completely locked to the Wii its on. But since they've had as excellent of a hardware track record as they have, its not a pressing issue.

Solid state was the way to go.

All you say when you say you want a hard drive is that you want it to fail and lose your data.

What they have now would be fine if it wasn't stripped so much. But solid state is the right thing to choose.

I don't plan on d/l every channel, and I don't plan on buying every single VC game to date...so I'm content with what we have. I already have a few SD cards for my camera, so I'm good.

I bought two 8GB SDHC (Micro's) for $15 each.
One for my camera, one for my DSi. It works for your Wii too if you have an adapter.

I haven't really used the Virtual Console since launch and the first year, but I think a hardrive is not needed.

No, I never wanted one, I just wanted them to fix SD cards.

They did. It's cheaper and easier this way.

The SD card update is just fine, I never used a fraction of the harddrive space available when I had the 360 anyways:p

Just make it so that you can transfer save data on the SD cards and it'll be fine.

Seeing as we can now run channels off an SD card, I don't think a hard drive is necessary anymore.

Kinda but the update is just fine. All I want to be able to do now is copy ALL of my save files from the Wii to the SD card. I really hate having to start completely over in Smash Bros Brawl and other games just because I couldn't save the file.

I gave up on this a while ago. If they want the console to do this, this and that, it should have it from the beginning.

I never wanted one before so I'm ok with not having one.

This post begs the question... WHY?kardine

Because I didn't have a storage problem. I don't buy a whole lot of VC games and now that I have the SD storage for my Rock Band DLC, I'm happy with what I have.

Of course, I'm not saying I wouldn't buy one if a HD was introduced for the wii but I don't feel I need it.

SSD harddrives are pretty expensive nowadays the wii would cost significantly more with such harddrive.

Did you know the SSD drives can be overwritten only a limited amount of times and loses capacity during time ?

Nope, I found the solution with the SD card just right. But there will be an update that you can put save games on the card. Why would there be a tab "SD" in your options menu, when checking the memory?smetloos

Why limit yourself to an SD card as a form of memory backup when you can get yourself a 120GB hard drive? Dont get me wrong, the SD card is still a good way to store some things here and there.

No. Not only is 32 gigs much, much, MUCH more than enough space for the Wii, but both SD cards and Pendrives are more reliable than hard drives.

we need a hard drive!!!
