IGN: Hands-On: Wii System Menu 4.0

IGN writes: "Well, the wait is finally over. It's been roughly two and a half years since the launch of Nintendo's latest console, and for almost that same amount of time there's been one constantly complained-about, endlessly reiterated issue plaguing the system that both its critics and fans have brought up again and again -- its considerably lacking storage space.

The problem with the Wii's low amount of on-board "blocks" and channel array spots became apparent pretty quickly, as gamers across the world filled their systems with save files for their games on disc, as well as the digital goods of the Wii Shop. The issue was only exacerbated with each passing Monday morning, as more and more Virtual Console and WiiWare titles were made available for purchase -- and when, each time a Wii owner would want to make a purchase, he or she would first have to "clean out the fridge" to make sure that there was enough room clear on the Wii's internal flash drive to be able to receive the new download."

Seeing the walkthrough video in a different article, Its like if the black instead of white is pretty much the "dark" vs "light" setting Nintendo usually sets up xD. SD is evil ?>=D.?
NOW I WANT DEMO'S

Edit:
O, by the looks of it Demo's are still impossible. The games need to be cached into the flash-memory. before it can boot.
I guess Nintendo feels strong about their security.

Also DLC...wasn't that done before? That could boot from the SD that is.

DLC has been done on the Wii before?

Anyways, it'll be sweet if High Voltage can somehow get DLC for the Conduit.

Hell it'd be sweet if all Wii game developers could put DLC.

is awesome. So much more convinient than having to move everything manually and out of the way. The wait is over, wahooo!

Close but no cigar. I still don't get what they were thinking with the memory for the Wii and while this is a bit easier to cope with it's still eons more ball ache than a HDD would be.

BTW I just know I'm gonna forget about the save files and delete everything the wrong way round.

i dont understand how this is not as easy as an hdd, just put every game on the sd card and save the wii memory for saves.
simple and easy in my eyes. dont know what the bad part is about this.......its free a hard drive isnt.

I really don't mind the Wii system menu as it is. Simple and effective, and moving things around menually is pretty fun.

Zelda Replay: Majora's Mask

VGChartz's Evan Norris: "Is Ocarina of Time as legendary as I remembered it? For the most part, yes. In spite of a handful of missteps — a few obtuse puzzles, some tedious backtracking, and a clunky stealth sequence — I don't believe the last 23 years have been unkind to it. Ocarina remains a brilliant example of the medium, a landmark game that shaped the future of its own franchise and 3D gaming in general. After more than two decades it retains its inventive dungeon design, challenging puzzles, dynamic combat, wistful storyline, unforgettable music, and empowering open-air freedom. I feel confident calling it one of the greatest games of the fifth generation, even if I'm no longer prepared to list it among the five best games ever made."

Pure unadulterated fun. They don't make them like this anymore...especially not the triple A industry.

Back when video rental was a thing, I rented out Majoria's Mask, I never finished it though. I did buy the 3DS version before the eshop shutdown, so maybe one day I'll finally play through the whole thing, it's amazing how well these games hold up though. I briefly played Ocarina of Time for a while and it was really fun.
