Well, this fixes the HDD issue somewhat. People still won't be happy, though.

This is the fix I was expecting and wanting. It made the most sense considering the SD integration that was already there. Doesn't require any more add-on. And since WiiWare and VC downloads are the main culprits there's really no problem now. All your internal storage needs to go to is saves and channels.

Wonder if this would/will apply to GH World Tour and RB2 DLC as well.

The fact that SD cards still aren't ginormous hard drives people can download to and hardly ever worry about getting full?

Why would anyone need more than a few GBs? It's not like Wii let's you download HD movies or current gen games/demos like XBLA and PSN. An SD card or two is more than enough for most people's VC and WiiWare library.

But you're right people do still complain. Even if it was a hard drive or whatever else there'd be people complaining. You can't please everybody.

Get a 2 GB SD card and then get another one when you need another one which will probably not be for a long, long time.

It makes plenty of sense for Nintendo.

It doesn't make any sense to Sony and Microsoft, who shake their heads and offer their subscribers free demos and downloadable movies.

"Hey guys, wanna watch Transformers in HD?!?!?!"

"SURE!!!"

[wait ten hours for the movie to download]

"This doesn't look any better than DVD. "

Re: Wii to load VC and Wii Ware directly from SD Card in the spring

it'd still be nice to get patches to games (y helo thar brawl) and demos to prove that not everything on the wii is shovelware.

OH HEY, CAVE STORY FOR WIIWARE.

• Cave Story: This title is an action-adventure game with new, exclusive content and features created only for the WiiWare version.

Demos and/or time trials for WiiWare and VC games and Wii demo discs in Nintendo Power would be nice.

What? That's basically what renting a HD movie from Microsoft is like.
