Nintendo Wii Storage Woes Coming To An End
March 25, 2009
For those of us with less and less free storage space available on our Nintendo Wii, help is coming at last. Nintendo president Satoru Iwata had a lot to say at his Game Developers Conference keynote address today, particularly in regards to bulking up the Wii's built-in 512 MB of storage space. The company is finally putting that SD card slot on the Wii to more efficient use by allowing high capacity SD cards to carry some of the load. SD cards up to 32 GB in capacity can be used to store precious data which can then be launched directly from the card. Shuffling items back and forth from comparably tiny SD cards is about to become a thing of the past, and frankly it's about time. This update is part of the latest system software update for the Wii, and apparently it's available right now, so get cracking on that download and enjoy the overdue fruits of Nintendo's labor.
