USB Storage Access on Nintendo Wii

Written by Richard Blanchard on April 5th, 2007. Posted in Gaming, USB News

We’ve been waiting to report on the USB storage abilities of the Nintendo Wii, today it finally came. The USB port you’ve so longed to use as extra storage will eventually see the light of day. Today Nintendo partnered with a USB embedded software vendor eSOL to use their USB stack code for file management on the Wii.

True, the Wii has an SD memory slot but that taps out at 2GBs, this new partnership means a potential storage size of 32GBs, or for the common folk, 2-8GBs of storage.

Although no official Nintendo announcement came about the news of this development, the writing is on the wall.
