Wii storage solution coming in March?

Back in October, Nintendo announced that a long-awaited storage solution was in the works for Wii. The company also promised that the fix would arrive in Spring. According to IGN, a more specific date has been determined. Matt Casamassina stated in the latest Nintendo Voice Chat that the update will be up for download towards the end of March and that gamers will be able to save games to their SD cards.

I believe Spring begins sometime around March 20, so chances are – if this information is correct – the update will be available sometime in between March 20 and March 31.
