You know, it's a rumor and everything, but I know for a fact this will happen, with talks of a demo channel and new consoles on VC, there's no way that sd cards and the wii's memory could hold all the games people will buy, and nintendo knows VC is the biggest cash cow for them outside the ds and pokemon.
[QUOTE="JaeKayLMNOP"]Wouldn't it be much easier to just allow VC games to be stored on SD Cards?Dark_Link142
There's piracy and hacking spelt all over that. No there isn't. Each system has a specific number, or identity. If the VC games are configured so that they only play on the system on which they are downloaded, you would not be able to transfer VC games from one system to another.
I'd rather se my own USB hard drive, but hey at least they're doing something. Come on Nintendo, prove me wrong and show that you actually CARE about your fans.
Knowing Nintendo, if this rumor turns out to be true the HDD will probably only be available in Japan. Sometimes I really think that Nintendo hates Americans and Europeans.
External hard drive? Seems pointless in the face of the massive SDcards available now. I don't doubt this will happen, Nintendo likes its accessories, but it won't happen for a while. They'd be smart to allow any USB drive to work, but then offer their official drive anyway. People likes us with tech skills could use our own equipment, while the casual players that the Wii is aimed at will buy the official Nintendo HDD. They make more money and make the hardcore crowd happy.
