Any Wii owner with an affinity for downloading Virtual Console or WiiWare games, and all of Nintendo's many channels is no doubt frustrated by Wii's diminutive 512 MB of storage. And with developers such as Vicarious Visions and SEGA bringing downloadable content to Wii it is certainly something that needs to change.

While it was incredibly disappointing not to hear even a murmur of some sort of storage device at Nintendo's media conference it is still encouraging to know that the company isn't completely ignoring the issue. Shigeru Miyamoto told IGN that "there isn't anything that we can announce today, but we have been thinking along a variety of different lines regarding this matter for some time now. So my hope is that sometime in the not too distant future we will be able to discuss some concrete solutions".

Even though we can't but feel that this problem should have been taken care long before the system launched we desperately want some sort of solution. While this could be anything from a USB attachment, to preferably opening up the SD slot through firmware updates which would require no money be spent by the consumer we'll just have to wait and see what Nintendo has in mind. So know this everyone, it may be late but a fix is coming.
