So basicly a hardrive is confirmed now?

With WiiWare titles coming up Nintendo is basiclly screaming HARDDRIVE!!!!!I mean they have a F-ing FF game on there.So basicly a hardrive is confirmed now?
I think so...or they have come up with the most amazing compression technique known to mankind.So basicly a hardrive is confirmed now?
I certainly hope so. Or being able to run games off of the SD cards directly.
Probably. A company already said Nintendo is using their software and hardware. (This company manufactures hardrives and memory units)
Excellent, Nintendo is starting to get their act together. I'm sure the hard-drive will bring nothing but good things.
Yeah, there's no way you'll be able to play RPGs with only 512MB if space lol. Just think of ff, there'd be no way that'd be able to fit on 512MB of space lol.
Hopefully. But I read in a recent Perrin Kaplan (sp?) interview, that they're treating Wii like a refridgerator. You take stuff out and put stuff in, like when you delete games to make room for new ones. In my honest opinion, that's a stupid approach. Nowadays, games take up too much memory. They NEED to release a hard drive.

techinically not confirmed but would defintely be needed. that ff game looks like a full blown wi game

I dont see a posibility of hard drive atm, maybe in 6 years when wii lite comes out...but nothing till then

Alright so I missed something here... Wiiware? and FF? Someone explain please!
You could use Google. >_>
Never mind! Found the other topic with all the info in it.
[QUOTE=''RedNight55'']Alright so I missed something here... Wiiware? and FF? Someone explain please![/QUOTE]You really don't know? WiiWare is a service much like XBLA, developers can make simpler games for the service and then we can download them like the V.C. A new FF game has been announced for the service too!
yeah, i hope its support for third party ones if it happens because first parties are always ripoffs.

[/QUOTE]Basically, she needed to make up an excuse as to why the Nintendo Wii is absolutely perfect in every way but still doesn't have a hardrive or a way to store a large amount of content in its memory. It's exactly the same situation with the PlayStation 3 and rumble in the Sixaxis controllers. Phil Harrison had to make up the excuse, which was that rumble was a ''last generation feature'' when really, they just couldn't settle the lawsuit with Immersion before the launch of the PlayStation 3 and they had to release the console with rumble-less controllers, only to reveal the new controller design with rumble less than ten months after the PlayStation 3's launch.
Or just better SD card support, that would help too.
Possibily. However at the moment Nintendo is still fixated with the idea of downloading something and deleting it to make room and being able to download it again without any extra cost, so I still don't see it happening for a while.
