Even Miyamoto Says...

Even Miyamoto has said that he wished they could have put more memory into the Wii...

So, I ask you this:

Do you think Nintendo Will ever release an update so that Wii can load channels, save data, etc. directly from the SD card while playing a game? This would work much better so you dont have to go through the copy process to get your channels either to or from an SD card, as well as your save data.

And also, how long doyou think it'll take the price of flash memory to decrease when they come out with a new 1GB version of the Wii (not to coexistwith the 512MB one like Xbox 360 and PS3, but to give consumers more memory with a new Wii). DO you think that they'll every do that?

My first point would be much more helpful IMO since nobody would have to worry about number 2.

They've got USB ports for a reason. Expect Nintendo to make use of them some day.ZebethOrZebes

When it's needed (and right now it's not, and don't anyone give me the excuse of Virtual Console games because you don't stuff 10 disks in your Wii at once either) I think that Nintendo will upgrade the firmware to allow larger SD cards.

We don't need it now but there's no doubt that when we do Nintendo will respond.

• Go to the Wii Memory Settings
• Copy my Zelda onto an SD card
• Switch SD cards into the Wii
• Copy his Zelda to my internal memory

And they'll provide you a way to get them at that point.

Since it's not happening now there's no need for it now. It doesn't do Nintendo any good to hit the market with a mass storage device of and kind (drive or SD card upgrade) when nothing needs it. They'd rather concentrate on things that apply straight from day one.

There's no reason why Nintendo wouldn't release one when it's needed also. I mean Nintendo wants to make money to further it's interests this generation.

People are already and have been filling up their hard drives, so somethings do need it.

People are filling them with Virtual Console games, that is not a reason to increase the storage.

You don't need to keep 20 games on the Virtual Console in it's memory. Just like you don't need to stuff 10 Wii disks in the console and play them all at once.

Nintendo offers unlimited online storage for all of it's Virtual Console games, there is no need to keep them all on the Wii when it takes about the same amount of time to download a title as it takes to get a Wii game from it's case put it in the Wii then put the case back on the shelf.

As the Nick-42 Fellow said above me and I agree, it is indeed getting old.

And the argument that just because people are filling something up doesn't mean we need a larger storage space makes no sense. I guess if we followed that we'd all have 8 gig hard drives and programs would still be 2-D and games a few megabytes large would be unheard of.

Maybe because you don't have that problem you don't understand. But for me, when I fill up any hard drive and have to clean it up, it is no fun.

Again, filling up the console with Virtual Console games is not a valid excuse.

For whatever reason you don't want to switch games out is your problem, if you choose to refuse to do it then yes you'll have no space. Just as if you refuse to switch out the disk in the Wii you wont play any other game but the one that's inside the console.

Nintendo has said from day one you have unlimited storage for your games and you can swap them in and out at your leisure. If you wont do it then blame yourself for making a problem, don't blame Nintendo.

I personally know people with pages of virtual console games.

So constantly swap out VC games? How convenient:?

Do you have a problem switching out Wii game disks?

Even if you have 10 N64 games on the Virtual Console you're not playing them all at once and if you are then you're in a very small minority. For the great majority of users that will never be a problem. There's no reason to put out a product to take care of the less then 1% of users that play each and every Virtual Console game they own for ten mins a day.

No, but it doesnt take atleast 5 mins to load a Wii game.

It doesn't take 5 mins to download games either, all of mine have taken less then a min and this week even with the surge of users I got Paper Mario in a little over a minute.

That's pretty much the same amount of time it takes to get the case, put in the disk, and put the case back on the shelf.

Virtual Console games are even easier because you can keep a half dozen on the Wii at any given time with no worries of problems with space.

ya, I expect one of these days nintendo or a third party will make a harddrive specifically for the usb ports on the back of the wii. that would be the hardware, and the software would probably be purchased in the wii-ware shop channel.

that's my prediction.

Please...this is Nintendo we're talking about.
