Gonintendo.com A recent Job posting on Nintendo.com is asking for someone to code/plan/test wii's usb devices. The problem is the wii does not have any official usb devices out or even announced by the big N. This could be a infinite number of possible add-ons but with the recent outcry of storage space by consumers after Wiiware hit the market and Nintendo stating that it was already looking into possible storage solutions for "small" number of people with space problems. It isn't hard to connect the dots and assume hopefully this is the coveted wii HDD. I guesstimate that a since this is calling for planning included with testing and coding. Nintendo may be wanting to draw up plans for a HDD to show off at e3 with the actual product hitting the market this holiday season. The following is the job posting in full.

Then again, knowing Nintendo, it could be some silly add-on to transmit DS demos when the machine is off or something that no one cares about.
