Rumor: Double USB hard drive in the works for Wii
Posted on 15 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Rumors, Wii | 6 Comments
According to QJ.net, Nintendo is busy developing a “double USB hard drive” for the Wii. This would, supposedly, provide relief for those who have been struggling with the small amount of internal memory available on the system.
The rumors also says that the device would mount on the back on the Wii and is designed to seem like a natural part of the Wii. The hard drive would not be able to be used without a firmware update but all downloaded content from the Wii Shop Channel can apparently be transferred right onto the hard drive.
No date was provided for when all of this would be released. I’m a bit skeptical of this rumor, but I’m sure quite a few people would be satisfied if this is indeed Nintendo’s storage solution.
