Wii Updates to 4.0: Answers Our Prayers

For years now, Nintendo has bragged of their intimacy with it's consumers. They think they know us and know what we want. For some reason, they think we don't want storage. Nintendo is just deluding itself now.

The memory on the Wii gets cramped fast. If you like the Shop Channel, get ready to redownload all your stuff, cause the main Wii menu will fill up fast, and an SD card for storage means copying the data back and forth for use.

Now 4.0 is out and it answers our prayers in terms of storage. Now we can launch games from the SD card, so with a simple 1GB card, you can store much more and play them straight from it.

N64 games are the biggest problem, taking up hundreds of blocks at a time. Now you can store them on the SD card with plenty of room and play them too with no memory juggling.
