Well, at least they made a step in the right direction. Starting early next year, you’ll be able to load data directly from your SD card in your Wii. Anything you save off (WiiWare, Virtual Console games) can be launched directly without having to transfer things back and forth. This is big for the Wii storage folks out there. However, it may not be big enough.

Personally, I already have one 2GB SD card full from WiiWare and Virtual Console games. The problem lies with the Wii not accepting SD-HC cards, which provide for much larger storage capacity. If the system could accept larger cards, this would be a great success. As it is, the solution seems like a stop-gap until the next Wii system gets released.

Think about all the DLC coming for Guitar Hero World Tour and Rock Band 2 on the Wii. That’s going to take up some major space. You think a 2GB card is going to hold all of that? I’m guessing the general Wii playing public won’t really care too much either way. At least Nintendo addressed the issue, whether it’s satisfactory or not.
