This morning after I was finished making my coffee, I turned on my computer to find out that the Internet exploded in a flurry of Nintendo speculation. The image above was being circulated as Nintendo’s solution to all of our Wii storage woes, or in other words, a hard drive. Unfortunately, CVG has recently confirmed with Nintendo that the device is indeed as silly as it looks:
"We have not announced or revealed any hard drive." Any hard drive related report is pure "rumour and speculation."
I did some research on the Internet today and I found out that hard drives have the propensity to store all kinds of data. These futuristic devices can store documents, MP3s, game saves, pictures, and even downloaded games. I then went on Wikipedia and found out that my Xbox 360 has one, so I promptly went back to GameStop and sold my six memory cards.
If this device for the Wii was real, that would mean I would also have to sell back all of these SD cards sitting around in my house. Thank goodness the image was proven false. I would hate to have an option for storage that made sense.

with jump drives at 16-32gig and the wii games not being the most graphically enhanced games of the century, I dont see the need for anything larger that takes yet another power plug...
If that were really the Wii hard disc, I'd have to wonder whether this would be considered 'peripheral' or the Wii itself.
