No need for Wii hard drive, says Nintendo (again)

Have you filled up your Wii's internal memory yet? We have and it's bloody annoying. But while we're all waiting for Nintendo to release a Wii hard drive, the reluctant games giant says there's no need to store all your games on your Wii. Again.

simply put I just dont have enough room for all the games i've downloaded any more, The wii only supports SD cards up to i think 4 gigs and thats not enough, I all so dont have enough room in my channels for them all.

Edit: The below poster...*idontthink* must not read either because i own an 60 gig ps3:)

And sony will never offer all the games and classics that the Wii will.

IdontTakeSides6040d ago

thats what you get for beign cheap...the PS3 will never have space issuses...

ChickeyCantor6040d ago

cheap got nothing to do with it, interest is a different story.

and being ignored by 16 people shows that your comments are nothing but worthless.

WilliamRLBaker6040d ago

And I should add....the ps3 wont have issues? So if I we're to downloaded every thing off psn the 40 gig ps3 wont have space problems? really? Because that 40 gig hard drive will fill up fast and i will then have to go out and buy a bigger one.

I kept emailing them about my space being full my wii is in repairs so now they can check omg the need to stop being hard headed they don't listen to anybody do they?

ChickeyCantor6040d ago

its nintendos way or the high way always been like that.
-_- just update the damn firmware!

ItsDubC6040d ago (Edited 6040d ago )

This is the one thing that irks me about Nintendo's future plans. Having to redownload VC games after the [limited] internal space fills up is a usability nightmare.

If Nintendo sticks w/ this plan, then I think WiiWare is destined for failure. WiiWare titles will be limited to 512mb max (which I don't think is a big problem) but ppl will have to erase a lot of their VC titles in order to play them. Ludicrous.

IdontTakeSides: nice display of your maturity level. There's been a lot of trollish, off-topic, and inflammatory comments in the Wii section today. I guess ppl just love gettin their bubbles popped.

forum_crawler6040d ago

Having a hard drive will only open the doors to people being able to write programs that will bypass the "only for this wii" thingy Nintendo has going for VC games. In other words, they would lose control over these overpriced games and people will start getting them for free.

That's the only roadblock right now. Not demand, or "lack of need."

PS360WII6040d ago

Very frustrating. While I see your point forum_crawler it still will stop a lot of VC sales when even the causal crowds Wii memory gets filled. With Neo Geo and N64 titles starting to pick up it only takes a few to tap it out. Contrary to what Nintendo believes people don't like the hassle of making room to get more games.

ItsDubC is right and it could hamper a lot of potential bigger projects for the WiiWare, not many I'm sure but XBLA got caught in that mess already and had to update it and make a whole new memory card just for that switch.

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.

FinalFantasyFanatic17d ago

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.

6 Fun Games Where You Actually Play As The Bad Guy

While the mainstream media always sees things turning in favor of the hero, here are 6 games that own being a bad guy.

Profchaos21d ago

Pretty much all of these games listed are based around a morality system you don't have to be bad and you don't have to be good.

It seems to have left out some real amazing games like red dead redemption 1/2,ass effect and true crime la/ny

Armored Core VI?

Ok, I'm really missing something here. Just beat chapter 3 earlier this evening, unlocked A-rank Arena fights. I'm not seeing or sensing any branching paths or morality system and I've done every side mission and arena fight available to me up to that fight.

Is something big coming soon to branch the story?

banger8821d ago

No mention of Grand Theft Auto? Saints Row (original trilogy), Manhunt? Also The Suffering (depending on the ending you get).

ChasterMies20d ago

Trevor in GTA 6 is a sadist and psychopath who dabbles in cannibalism. Should be top of the list. These game “news” sites should hire people that know games.

Strange headline, as I thought the star of the show was Super RType. I almost bought RType Dimensions EX this last month and was just thinking, man I wish we had the SNES one somewhere on Switch. That's where I got my start w the series and I was beyond excited to see it drop this week!
