I tell thee, if Nintendo don't release a hard drive for Wii, now that they are making money on Wii, nunchuk over Wiimote, they are damn stupid.

A hard drive would do a few things. More space for demos of Wii games, game roms, extra Nintendo content, encourage other developers currently shunning Wii, to come and make some games. There'd even be space for DS demos.

Nintendo, you are in the lead now. Whether made by Nintendo or not, a hard drive makes perfect sense. Give gamers what they want, to aid their gaming and be brave. 40-60gb would do nicely.

The sole reason behind the Wii's success is that it's a CONSOLE
not a PC
It costs less than an ipod (0=

Furthermore, even if they do make a hard drive what are the existing Wii owners to do?
surely they can't connect the hard drive with a usb

Why not? All it'd take is a simple firmware download.

They should do it and offer proper downloadable new software. Games written for Wii rather than emulated roms.
And while we're at it, why not make Sega Saturn games avialable too?

Last time I heard they said you would be able to use ANY USB-based hard drive on the Wii, what happened to that?
