Rumor: Reggie promises 'storage solution' -- not a hard drive?


The saga of the Wii hard drive continues. While "geeks and otaku" everywhere wonder – often aloud – why Nintendo hates them so much, Nintendo's Reggie Fils-Aime tells Latin American Nintendo magazine Club Nintendo (roughly translated by Nintendo Everything and corroborated by GoNintendo), "We are working on a storage solution ... We have never said that it will be a hard drive nor have we mentioned how we will fix this issue, but we are going to deliver a better way to store the games."

If it's not a hard drive, then what is it? Super futuristic holographic storage mayhaps? Or USB mass storage support, so you can use that external HDD you've already got? Hell, we'd settle for enabling game playback from the totally under-utilized SD slot. Then all Nintendo needs are some halfway decent WiiWare titles, and we've got ourselves a deal.
