Come on Nintendo. no more peripherals. A simple firmware update to boot from SD will help immensely.

My understanding is this is the direction they are working towards most.   A firmware update would not only open the channel directly but enable SDHC cards as well giving the Wii a theoretical limit of 2TB's of storage space.

TB = terabyte? For real?

Who would need all that space? Except for DMeisterJ of course, who downloads 20 VC games per week.

 

SDHC uses the FAT32 file system which has a capacity limit of 2 TB's.  While they are only retail at a current maximum of 32 GB's, that's a significant increase above what it curently supports.

Larger drives are on the way btu they'll cost a lot (as is always the case with new stuff).

I mean, no one needs 2TB, but 2 gigs should be sufficient.  Something more than 512.
