Nintendo Wii: Nintendo HDD Unlikely

By: Robert Rodriguez - Published October 29, 2007 at 5:25 AM EST - Writer Archive
NOA PR Manager Eric Walter had stuff to say about a possible HDD for the Wii.
If you're like me you're quickly running out of HDD space on your Wii; between VC games, the upcoming WiiWare service and game saves your internal flash memory is surely going to be depleted by the holiday season. A Wii HDD would without a doubt solve this problem, but when Nintendo of America's PR Manager Eric Walter was asked about flash memory and WiiWare, this is what he had to say:

...the way that we look at it is, we really don't want people storing every single game they buy on their drive. When you buy a game, it's yours forever, so you can delete it, and go back and get it at any time you want. In a way, we liken it to putting music on your iPod; you listen to it for a while, and then you get tired of it, and you pull it off, and you put some new stuff on

I don't know about you guys, but I don't delete things off my Wii; I still have the Metroid Prime 3 preview channel for collectors sake. Walter expects the service to launch in early 2008 and that things are going "Really well.."
