Title: Storage Solution coming to Wii?
Post by: Kyubi on May 01, 2008, 09:08:02 pm: http://gonintendo.com/?p=41838 (http://gonintendo.com/?p=41838)

Q6 I am personally enjoying WiiWare and Virtual Console but feel Wiiâ€™s flash memory size is not enough and annoyed that I need to use a SD memory card. Will this situation be improved?
A6 Iwata:
Statistically speaking, it is true that there are a small number of customers who feel that the flash memory is too small, while many others find that they have plenty of memory. However, because this small number of people are none other than the most avid players, we know we have to review the best possible solution to eliminate their inconvenience.

Or maybe there's an equal amount and he just wants to look like the hero? Think about it: there's a shitload of gaming sites on the internet. It has to be atleast equal!

Too bad it'll have to be USB. Not the fastest, but hey, better than nothing :\
