Despite the lame news title, this rumor has been floating around for quite some time now. It’s no surprise, given the 512MB worth of internal storage and the fact that SD cards only hold up to 4GB of space normally. Because rumors never die, this one is back in full swing.
Lending a smidgen of credence to this latest rumor is SNK’s recent announcement that it would soon be bringing some of its Neo Geo titles to the Wii’s Virtual Console, many of which would take up a heckuva lot more space (up to 330MB) than the current crop of old school games available on the service.
I had no idea of that previous announcement, but I am hoping to see the Wii treated to some King of Fighters excitement. If an external hard drive is actually in the works, anyone care to speculate how large it would be? Unlike the Xbox 360, a 20GB hard drive could go a long way with the Wii, so my bets would be there.
