Wii Storage Space

April 13, 2008

The Nintendo Wii is perfect in almost every way.

It has an innovative control scheme, Connectivity with the Nintendo DS, AND the NIntendo Wi-Fi USB connector provides the Wii with the SAFEST way to connect to the internet.

Even with all of these great qualities that the Wii has, there is one MAJOR problem keeping me from fully enjoying my gaming experience. I’m talking about the Storage Space!

Internally. the Wii has a measly 512MB of storage space… To make things worse, less than 300MB is actually accesible to the Wii owner. What was Nintendo thinking!? They could have at least put 10GB! After all, something as small as an SD card is able to hold 2 to 4 times the Data that the Wii (which is MUCH larger than an SD card) can…

It may not sound like such a problem to the casual gamer, but consider this. The Wii Virtual Console has MANY games that you can download. With the Wii’s storage problem, you’re limited to downloading only a few games if you want to have enough storage space on your Wii for your Video Game’s Save Data AND The Internet Channel. The N64 Games and Internet Channel Are Real Space Hogs, they take up too much space! With the release of WiiWare, this problem will only worsen.

I don’t want to tell you how many games I’ve had to delete JUST to free up space for other games! This is ridiculous!

What I’m trying to say is: NINTENDO! PLEASE RELEASE A HARD DRIVE FOR THE WII, OR AT LEASE ENABLE US TO CONNECT A HARD DRIVE TO OUR WII THROUGH THE USB PORT!

That’s all I’m asking…

Thank You for reading this.

Just so you know, Nintendo is actually my favorite video game company. I grew up playing Nintendo Games, they introduced me to video games. I remember When I was 4, Playing with my older brother’s SNES…

Please Nintendo, Listen to me.
