Wii to Get New Hardware - Possibly Hard Drive?

Posted by Zonk on from the wii-drive-this-way-because-we-can dept.

HoboBob writes "It has been suggested that Nintendo will be unveiling some new hardware for the Wii at the E3 media festival, and some are speculating that it could be a hard drive. According to the article: 'Confirmation back in April that Neo Geo games will begin being added to Wii's Virtual Console download service adds weight to the speculation, considering Neo Geo games are huge — some clocking in it at up to 330MB. One of those bad boys would put serious strain on the Wii's memory.'"

  1. Does Anyone Actually Use Their Wii Anymore? by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    Back in December/January everyone wanted to come over for some Wii action, but after about a month or two none of my friends cared about their or other's Wiis. The novelty wore off pretty quickly and playing games alone with the Wiimote is very silly. Really feel like a fool sitting alone on the couch moving/waving the controller around all by myself. I really have to wonder how many people are going to care about any addons to the system when, in my experience, the system is almost universally used as a holiday party machine.
