In a recent interview with Latin America’s official Nintendo magazine Club Nintendo, NOA President Reggie Fils-Aime acknowledged the issue with storage on the Wii, and that the company is currently working on a solution. He also mentioned that the solution might not necessarily be a hard drive.
I want the people to have the right expectations. We have never said that it will be a hard drive, nor have we mentioned how we will fix this issue, but we are going to deliver a better way to store games.
If by “right expectations” Fils-Aime meant “hard drive” then it looks like Nintendo and I are on the same page. Unfortunately, the Nintendo boss’ next line is spent tiptoeing around the idea of the rational and easy fix that a hard drive would provide. If only Nintendo realized how many times I’ve deleted StarFox.

I hope when the Wii 2 comes out all this will be solved...
either that or what Knigge said.
On another note, the tomato external hd used in this post's picture is H-O-T. Those koreans need to bring more of their tech/designs to the US of A.
And indeed, what happens when the console dies?
Stop fucking cock blocking and make a fuckin hard drive. I'm so tired of Nintendo treating us like we don't know what we want.
also, wardrox is right
I expect Nintendo to release a Wii-only storage card, which'd only contain enough space for about 5 VC games.
Thats what I'd do if I was Nintendo.
