Nintendo has finally revealed a solution to the urgent Wii storage problem that’s been dogging them for a while now.
Satoru Iwata revealed that beginning in 2009 (in Japan), you will be able to play downloaded Virtual Console & WiiWare games directly off an SD Card.
This will be enabled via an update (a Wii System update I imagine) sometime in the future.
Honestly I thought this was the best solution as opposed to releasing an actual hard drive, which just wouldn’t work well with the Wii in my opinion. And while it’s a bit annoying to have to have extra SD Cards (bringing back memories of the “Memory Card” era last gen) it is a solution and I’m glad Nintendo has finally come to their senses regarding this issue.
