New Wii U Rumor to excite you before the conference!

- until the V4 dev kit, the system had 8GB of flash memory to store your applications
- 512MB of separated flash was used to store the OS
- for quite some time, developers only had access to the SD slot, with the flash memory being inaccessible
- there will be a hard drive option, but it will not be mandatory
- Dev kits have a hard drive
- this is to store the projects studios are working on
- foreign devs knew there would be external hard drive support, but didn't know the specifics
- USB may be 2.0 instead of 3.0
- Nintendo may have their own branded hard drive option
- "V5" dev kits don't increase the flash memory
- for most of last year, devs were using the dev kit HDD or their host PC, as they didn't have access to the flash memory
- devs can now emulate Wii U discs digitally

My internet just crapped out a few minutes ago and I freaked out. FREAKED OUT! Thankfully it's back and I'm now ready my body is now ready for the hype train's first stop.

I'm done with rumors. I want the real thing now.

Half an hour to go, right? What can we expect anyway?

Since Wii U stuff will be absent, I am guessing that Nintendo will highlight 3DS software and the remaining Wii and DS games. This would make a lot of sense, because they can then focus on the Wii U during their conference and their other systems get more exposure, because Wii U is going to be all that will be talked about for the rest of the week.

The Nintendo Direct stream that's in 30 min is for the Wii U hardware only.

I see.

So instead of a glorious NSMB2 trailer I have to expect the biggest letdown of the year. This sucks.


You might still get your NSMB2 trailer on Tuesday.
