Perrin Kaplan on Wii storage space - The Wii is like a refrigerator

Less talk more action! Storage is my biggest gripe with the Wii. There is no reason they can't create an update that makes some of the Wii's memory swappable with the SD card slot. That way when you click on a game from the SD card, it quickly loads it into Wii's flash memory and plays it. I wouldn't mind keeping X blocks free on my Wii if I could use storage on my SD card for something...

Quoted for great idea. Have a large preset block of space set aside on the Wii, and then you can put all the stuff you move onto SD cards (or whatever) organized into large blocks of equal or lesser size. Then you can just pick a block -- say, "Sonic games" or "TG-16 games" -- and load it all into the Wii in one go.

[edit: this would also come in very handy for another reason for some people: I believe you can also do the same thing with game save data. Let's say some guy plays dozens or even hundreds of games on his Wii. All of those games leave saved data that takes up space. Even if it's only 1 block per game (as many are), that will add up for people who play many games. Transferring those saves back and forth would be tedious, but not if they had a massive "Old saves of all the games I don't play much" block. Then it would be easy to swap out whatever block of VC games were in the Wii for for the block of old game saves.

[The more I think about this idea, the more awesome it is. Does Nintendo have a "Wii software idea submission" email address?]
