Has anyone asked the question where the heck we are going to save these Wiiware games at. I mean I already has to save and delete my games because I have to many and not enough windows. Is Nintendo actually addressing this problem with not only enough space on the hard drive but the fact that you only have 48 spaces??

Please some one indulge me with you knowledge...

There's been a lot of talk about a hard drive lately. Popular belief is that they'll announce it at E3. Don't know about the spaces. Does it run games off an SD card though, or do you just transfer them around and use it as storage?

At present Nintendo is handling Wiiware exactly as they have the VC... if you need more memory, you'll need to delete older stuff.

BTW, the Wii does not have a hard drive, period. The internal storage is flash memory.

As stated upove, there is a lot of talk about a HDD being presented at E3 this year, which would be the smartest thing on Nintendo's part - even if they made it like an external USB type of thing.

Yes, Nintendo hasn't announced anything so you'll have to delete stuff until they do. But Nintendo isn't allowing developers to make games over 40 MB so none will be huge.

Less of which is actually available to the user.

You can store games on SD, but not run until they are returned to internal memory.
