Wii Could Be Getting Storage Solution Soon

Sometimes I want to wave my fist in anger at all of you who continually search out a Wii. You search relentlessly until the day comes when you can take the Nintendo wunder console home. What do you find? A few decent games, a small selection of great ones and a heaping helping of crap. It’s because of this that Nintendo doesn’t really need to make any necessary adjustments….like say a hard drive. If the product you’re producing is flying off the shelves there’s little reason to make any changes.

Lucky for us Reggie and Miyamoto still want to make upgrades to the Wii. Yay! The pair cryptically alluded to a future announcement about a future storage solution for Wii. The only thing that they really said was that it would not be a hard drive. Reggie, in his usual blustering way, says that it’s even better than a hard drive. This magical thing Nintendo is working on. In addition to providing storage this new thingy will also be able to grant you two wishes. Just give it a few rubs and you’ll be happy as can be.

So what will it actually be? Perhaps a solid state flash drive. That’s fancy and new technology, something Nintendo would like. There’s also the possibility of online storage, but Nintendo’s general history with the online world would cause me to take pause at such an option. We’re supposed to find out soon, which I’m hoping means at Tokyo Game Show.
