Nintendo, at its fall press conference, has solved the so-called Wii Storage problem.

With no internal hard drive space on the Wii is limited and many are rapidly running out of space and unable to download all the games they want. So Nintendo has decided to solve this, no not with an external add-on or a new version of the Wii. Instead with an update to the Wii OS slated for early next year they have decided they will allow games and software to be downloaded to and loaded from the SD Card slot.

Wow, so you mean we can have up to 2GB of storage at any time on the Wii? Well that sort of...sucks in my opinion. Honestly, they couldn’t find a better solution? Talk about dropping the ball on something.

Sure 2GB is a lot of space for some of the tiny games that we used to play as kids back in the days of the NES and SNES. But what about WiiWare titles? Are they going to be space limited? I mean I’m not expecting a 2GB WiiWare title to begin with, but if I have say 10 of them and they’re 200MB each, that’s a full SD card. Then if I want to play my VC games I have to swap cards.

Hey look! It’s like an old Nintendo system. To play games you have to swap cartridges!
