512 MB.  If you wanted more, you were limited to standard SD cards at first (up to 2 GB).  An update enabled SDHC cards up to 32 GB.  That update also allowed games to be downloaded directly to the SD or SDHC card.  Before then you had no choice but to fill up your 512 MB space first.  Considering only WiiWare and Virtual Console titles existed at the time for download, 512 MB was more space than it sounds like.  I had several games on it.

Not even a gigabyte. And people complain with the WiiU's 32 Gb. lol

Then again, I've never needed a SD card for my Wii, so it might be enough.

The storage was just meant for save files and VC titles.
WiiWare was an add-on later, those took more storage hence the expansion option implemented afterwards.

The save files were better implemented in the Wii, easily transferable via SD. On the WiiU the save files are locked due to the hacks, linked to your game's digital data.

Really, they should all be in your internal storage (or stored online). I lost my Splatoon data due to a corrupt usb drive, somehow the game data was stored there.
