| thetonestarr said: The Wii is capable of reading data straight off of an SD card during gameplay. Recall Excite Truck? You're able to select songs - on your SD card - to play while you're racing. Thus said, the Wii is capable of using DLC straight from the card. It may require a minor firmware update to make it optimally practical, but it's definitely doable. |
Don't you think there's a difference between streaming MP3s into a game and putting downloadable content onto a game from an SD card? Just because we're talking about music here does not mean it's comparable. Harmonix's song DLC for Rock Band do not equal MP3 streaming for Excite Truck. The only comparable things we have to go on is the Wii-Ware game Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles. Does anyone know if the DLC for that game(new houses, clothes, etc.) can be loaded straight from an SD card or must it be on the 512mb on the Wii? If it's the latter than Harmonix has a legitimate reason to not offer it and those saying it can be loaded from SD cards would be wrong. If it's the former, then I'm wrong obviously.
Also Harmonix cannot just release a firmware update for the Wii, only Nintendo can, so you know where to put blame to there.
