Wii 2 (Project Cafe) may not have a hard drive. Just 8gb of Flash memory

One of the main weaknesses of the Wii was the fact that it only had 512mb of Flash memory. Well fear not, since the Project Cafe will support a massive 8gb of Flash memory. 320gb hard drives are so last gen.

http://www.joystiq.com/2011/05/03/wii-2-rumors-only-8gb-of-storage-25gb-discs-and-1080p-isnt-a/

So yeah, if this report turns out to be true, then don't expect the Project Cafe to have good online apart from unified Friend Codes. Knowing Nintendo, I wouldn't be surprised if it is true. Plus no 100% guarantee of 1080p at this stage :|

epic fail

Nintendo, cutting corners on hardware as usual. No surprise here.

If true, that's almost as pathetic as 4 gig 360s.

Online is gaming? Also, I don't care about what kind of storage device is used, I just care that it sotres my games! And I don't see how anyone could possibly fill a 320 gig hardrive. Of course, there are people who have, so go figure. (I know about installing games, but even so.)

At this point, even if Nintendo did something "right", they'll still be complaints.nintendoboy16

And not alot of info has been released yet even, we don't know how true any of this is.

Grawse

8 gig flash?`8 gigs? 8 GIGS? My phone has 16 damnit.

Wow... Nintendo really needs to get with the times, lackluster online, last gen graphics on Wii, and now this... between no HDD and the ridiculous controller, I'm starting to doubt the Wii 2 more and more.:|

I like how all this rumors are always true...oh wait, they are always wrong, and being realistic, Friends Condes will continue, that's pretty much a given having in mind 3DS.

Hell Im fone with 2 GB memory on my 360 and I dont think Ive used more than 3 GBs on my PS3. Sounds like more than enough.

My phone has 4gb right now and i can take it to 8+

HAven't used more than 3 GBs on PS3? Installs can take up to 5 gigs, movies are 3 or 4 gigs, demos and PSN games are like 2 gigs, and saves alone can be a few gigs combined.

This rumor doesn't make much sense. Wii 2 will have a disc up to 25gb, yet the storage for the system will have only 8 gb? How can you download any sort of DLC in HD with only 8 gb. Sounds bogus to me.

Are you guys mental? You would rather pay 100 for a small HDD while spending half of that for the same amount of flash memory? And it doesn't produce heat so we don't have to worry about overheating and it can run from the inside of a furnace if it wants.

Having to focus on two some separate screens seems kind of ridiculous, not to mention how much more expensive it will probably be.

Well Im actually assuming to be honest. I have 1 PSN game and just a bunch of saves. I doubt that exceed 3 GB really.

Didnt know updates took up HDD space. They dont for the Wii and 360 IIRC.

Hopefully they will put more gigs of flash memory in it because the games could take up a lot of space.

Why do people pretend rumors are reality?

Yeah, that's kinda ridiculous. Come on Ninty, get a HDD in there!

That would be a typical Nintendo move.. my phone has 32 gigs, for Chuck Norris' sake.

We're not, but judging how far behind the times the Wii was, this rumor sounds pretty likely.

i don't care if the wii 2 won't have a hard drive. all i care nintendo deliver good games. That what i want nintendo to focus on.Enforcedspot

boy I'm getting really tired of all these rumors. I just want to see the reveal already, because this is just another bogus rumor that is only suggesting the n6 will be low tech just because the wii was.

Probably to keep costs down, but I hope they include something that allows people to expand their memory, another SD slot maybe but hopefully one that'll allow for a higher class and capacity SD card.lamprey263

Quite possibly the DUMBEST thing to offer in a console (if true), especially in this day and age. :lol:

You can get a 500GB HDD for dirt cheap today, how the hell is this cutting corners? More like "we're Nintendo, screw you gamers, we want to be different, wah, wah, wah!!!"

Must not play his ps3 much or not even have it connected to the internet i hardly really play my ps3 but I've still used a good 15gb+ on installs (MGS4), psn games,game demo's, and storing my music and photos.DJ_Headshot

With only 8 gigs, you can have harldy any DLC, downloadable games, movies, videos, music, or installs. I don't see how people can defend such terible design choices, what about the terrible online and graphics of the Wii, were they not that bad either?
