Wii Gets SD Card Storage Solution

March 25, 2009 9:49 AM

At long last addressing cries that the Wii's internal 512MB of storage isn't enough to store all the downloadable Virtual Console and WiiWare games one could acquire, Nintendo today released the SD Card Menu as part of the latest Wii System Update.

The free download enables Wii owners to launch applications, such as WiiWare and VC gamers, from an inserted SD card "by temporarily utilizing the Wii System Memory."

  They could have put all this in at launch but it would have cost more and taken longer. Plus VC library grew over time, it's not like you would have needed this feature at launch.
