Nintendo says "NO" to Wii hard drive

Nintendo denies Wii hard drive add-on, despite rumours and WiiWare increasing DLC availability

Your Wii's small 512MBs of internal Flash memory may be approaching its limits with all the VC games available (ours is), and Nintendo has today announced Wii Software (WiiWare), which will bring with it even more downloadable content for Wii.

So surely the rumours suggesting a Wii hard drive is in the works are true, right?

Nope. We posed the question to Nintendo after the Wii Software announcement, and the answer was definitive.

"No," a Nintendo UK correspondent told us, trashing hopes of an E3 revelation with a single word.

Oh well. Best stock up on some meaty SD cards, then. Read the our exclusive Wii Software Q&A with Nintendo discussing the ins and outs of the new download service to launch next year.
