Forums - Nintendo - No hard drive until Wii HD

jlauro on 23 March 2009

Nintendo hinted they would have some sort of solution this summer. We'll see...

If Wii HD means "Hard drive" instead of high def, maybe it will come out this year.

 

I already had to remove far more than I would like to make room for new stuff.  Almost didn't get LIT because of tight space.  I probably would of spend another $50 on wiiware if there was space to save the stuff...

Alright guys, I think that I am finally coming to the sad conclusion the Wii owners will NEVER see a hard drive until Wii HD comes in 2011,2012.  I don't know about you guys, but I burnt my hard drive up quick and now only download select "must have" titles...and as of the past 6 months.  There hasn't been to many "must haves".  What do you guys think.  Also, Nintendo can do better than just downloading to the SD card.  If i devolped for WiiWare I would be pretty upset with Nintendo and their no hardrive problems.  I mean I understand they don't want to be categorized as a 300$ dollar console ($50 external drive), but seriously...enough is enough.  your thougts?

 

Sorry for not putting a question mark after my thread title.  I don't make threads often

What's wrong with using an SD card?

i have like 50-60 VC games.....i would burn up that 2g drive up and I have like 5 wii ware games. Unless Nintendo has said something, I wouldn't be suprised to see Nintendo just improve the current Wii. Kind of like the DS improvements with maybe slightly better tech and cutting edge motion technology. If they come out with a new console with the next 3 years, they could really hurt themselve imo. seriously, people are just now able to get their hands on one. This gen has proved that there is a "graphic cap". With that being said, i don't see why they wouldn't do revisions, but i on a side note....i read that some dev said they were already preparing for wii 2. Think of this. Wii HD, with WM+ already built into the controllers.

What VC game are they is the question.

you can fit close to 100 NES games onto the Wii internal memory, SNES games it's more like 60-70..... and that's just the internal Wii memory which I am estimating to be around 400MB

Actually come to think of it isn't there a 40MB limit on Wiiware games?... and some of them are over 300 blocks... so if they are truely under 40MB with 300+ blocks then the actual free memory might only be 256MB or something. (there are about 2200 free blocks)

So having 2GB extra memory on top of that would essentially be 9 times the free space.... that could probably fit almost everything you can currently download on.

I think Nitty will release 2 version of Wii HD,One with 2 gig install memory and the other with 1 gig install memory,that would be awesome!

Why did you waste your money on something that didn't have what you wanted on it, Cox, when both of the other consoles do have what you're after?

thats a truly retarted statement

 

for example, id love to have my hd full of vc games, but i cant, can i get zelda 2 on 360 or ps3?  no i cant

 

so tell me again how this complaining means he should get a 360 or ps3?

 

 

 



Last year's game of the year turned out to be Silent Hill : Shattered Memories (online GOTY was COD 6).  This year's GOTY leader to me is Heavy Rain.

if ytou have channels you definetly cant, right now with 11 channels, i can fit 3 neo geo, 1 n64, 7 or 8 snes, and some nes games

 

on my sd i have about 30 more games, that to play i need to delete things and reorder my harddrive

 

i love nintendo, but any defense of the wii memory is just fanboy love, brutal design flaw

when i say "Wii HD" I mean Wii High Def. Also, the majority of my game are NES, but i still have a ton of genesis, and super nintendo. Only about 4 or 5 n64 games. All i know is that my memory was gone quick....real quick. I know world of goo was huge and a couple others. N64 take up quite a bit too.

@ jlauro.....i could of sunk an easy 50 bucks if i had the room. Im just tired of messing with it. Unfortunately, when i get my 360, the games that double release will probably be downloaded to it. although, i would much rather give my money to nintendo

Yes the channels take up a lot of space (11???... I assume you are including the non-removable ones in that) but What I am saying is IF it were possible to use SD cards aspart of the main memory, or IF the Wii had 2GB of it, then you could fit as much as you want without worry.

Nintendo has stated recently that they have something on the way. So let's wait and see.

I think they'll have to do it soon just to launch a demo channel. I really think they need a demo channel to give the third parties a leg up and help them sell more games.
