Naz,

I am talking file size exclusively. World of Goo is 320 blocks, or roughly 40MB. Lost Winds is 259 blocks or roughly 30MB. Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney is 302 blocks or 35MB.

Zack and Wiki is 4.0 gigabytes. Or roughly 32,000 blocks - one hundred times larger than any of the games you mentioned.

That is why I said Nintendo needed a storage solution that would allow for disc-based gems that may have been passed over, to get a second life on WiiWare. I am in full agreement that WoG and Lost Winds have done exceptionally well - and it is for that reason I think that games like Zack and Wiki would do very well on the service...Provided there was a storage solution that allowed consumers to download large games without requiring multiple SD cards.

Zack and Wiki is less than half the size you claim. It would fit comfortably on a 2gb SD card, and that is no longer the maximum the Wii can recognize. Given that you can have up to a 32gb SD card, which is roughly 2.5x larger than the original 360 hard drive, I would say such storage solutions are in place in one form or another. The limit is how large a file Nintendo allows on their service.
