When will Nintendo stop acting stupid?
All they have to do is enable FAT32 USB HDD support through that USB connection and we're set. I'm not sure why they won't do it. Piracy probably...
Maybe all that Holographic drive talk might be real... I don't know how they would implement it though..
I hope when the Wii 2 comes out all this will be solved...
i think bhive nailed it. they're probably trying to figure out how they can pull off a storage solution with minimum chance of piracy.
Whatever the storage solution end up being Nintendo just better hurry up, and release it. I mean my god they're the market leader so start acting like one already. This problem should have been addressed a year ago, or more!
I have a 320 GB laptop harddrive in my PS3, why can't they just use a thin HD like that in the wii?
It's going to be a service that you pay for on a server that will be shut down in 5 years.
This is code for them doing something stupid that they think will fix the problem, but make things even more annoying. No matter what hackers will get around stuff, they may as well provide a storage solution that will be easy for their consumers, beit a usb HDD or enabling reading directly from SD cards.
Nintendo: If it's not an analog to masturbation, it's not for us!
From what I understand, reading directly from SD cards isn't fast enough to run games. Really a pisser.
Your link to Gamasutra points here... did you try dividing by zero? :P
Time to quit talking about it and actually do something Nintendo.
ANNOUNCING NINTENDO CLUB SUPER ONLINE WHERE ALL YOUR GAMES ARE ALWAYS ONLINE AND WE STREAM THEM WHEN YOU NEED THEM WHICH TAKES APPROXIMATELY EIGHT HOURS ON SOME TITLES WHOOPS I CAN HAS SOLID STATE SOLUTION PLZ?
I'm just guessing that nintendo is going to do something weird like make Wii remotes with a "memory card" in them or some kind of add on that allows that.
either that or what Knigge said.
Speculation but probably just a NAS type device that connects to the Wii's wifi. It'll be wireless, except for the power cord.
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.
You might be right Knigge. I heard rumours that they might try solve it that way. Now, while I like an MSN server holding all my emails, I'd not like one to hold all my games.
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.
Like most of you, I think that Nintendo's trying to implement a regular storage device but preventing the piracy options at maximum, and that's why they don't want to release something as simple as a Hard Drive. For me, I'm not downloading any VC nor WW game 'til they release a comfty storage option for my Wii...
We're talking online storage fo sho'.
usb external hard drive, duh.
lol club nintendi had something new for the first time and i stopped buying the magazine on july. dammit.
also, wardrox is right
I just decided to stop using my Wii altogether and start downloading roms. Solved a lot of problems.
Seriously! I had to move like seven of my VC games to an SD card just to make space for SBCGfAP. Hard drive please.
it wont be harddrives it will be floppy disks
I dont think they're going for a HDD because it isnt nearly as fast as SD, and they wouldnt make as much money off of it.
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.
I've boughten quite a bit of online games through PSN. If the PS3 didn't have a great hard drive system like it does, I doubt I'd buy much until it was fixed. Regardless, it seems pretty plain to me that Nintendo doesn't care all that much.
We are Nintendo and we are never wrong! Even if it costs us billions of dollars we will never accept defeat!
