Forums - Nintendo - WiiHardDriive - Please, Nintendo?

NintendoTogepi on 15 May 2008

I'd have waaay more Virtual Console and WiiWare games if there was one, but I've only got 500 blocks left and I'm getting worried I'll run out.

I don't really have that many games, just some of the Virtual Console classics (SMB, SMW, OoT etc.) and a few other VC games that interested me...and just one WiiWare game.

So, why doesn't Nintendo release a Wii Hard Drive?

Nintendo has made several mistakes this gen. Not even offering an option for a hard drive is up there with the increasing DLC market. Still, nothing compares to their online blunders (actually I guess they are kinda related).

Wait til E3. For now, stop giving your money to Nintendo. It's their loss anyways...

Yeah, I had to delete the Metroid channel so I can have space for the Nintendo Channel. Next game I download, one will have to go the SD card. hopefully they have a solution to this storage problem this E3

Why did you keep the metroid channel until now? YOu can't even watch the videos anymore.

yeah, I noticed that before, I was too lazy to delete it and also I hate seeing an empty channel

This is a very funny thread to me, as I rember when the Wii first released, everyone said how you would never need more space than what was on the Wii, and in the event you would, nintendo would solve the problem, before there was a problem... I think that's just funny.

 

In regards to a solution, I think they should allow for a 're-format' of a SD card, and then link the card directly only to the Wii, and then allow games to be played off those SD cards. (that are bricks in other Wii units)

 

The problem Nintendo will encounter from allowing HDD, is everyone's favorite, MOD CHIPS. As, if you allow HDD use, you can likely mod chip the console, to allow any HDD, and also, ontop of that, likely mod it to allow 'non-legit' games be played off it. So it's really a loose loose situation.

Nintendo saving a buck early, costs us a buck later on.

here's a possible solution: whoever wants more memory ship the console back to the company and have them install a bigger hard drive. for a price of... who knows, $99? shipping included.

that way, those who really want bigger HDD gets it by paying for it, and ninty gets to make even more money out of it.



the Wii is an epidemic.
