Yea, I decided to do this because of the small storage capacity of the Wii. You get a couple N64 games and its maxed out. Nintendo was not planning ahead on this one. At least now VC and WiiWare can be run from the SD card alleviating to an extent the problems of such small storage. |

Also, Nintendo is comprised of a really, REALLY stubborn group of older Japanese men. The Japanese are already a stubborn people, and these guys just insist on perpetuating that to the nth degree. Nintendo loves to introduce new ideas and new tech, but they don't care to follow what they think of as "trends". You know, trends like disc-based media, online gameplay, high-definition output, mass storage, etc ::) Hopefully the WillUtouchmyWii alleviates some of the stubbornness. |

They tried it out, and felt the technology wasn't ready. If they hadn't attempted the new disc-based tech, Playstation wouldn't exist. Online gameplay was supported via broadband on the GCN (and older consoles had some sort of internet connectivity) , but it wasn't very widely supported (just like the GCN itself). They are stubborn though. Otherwise, the Wii would have an achievement system as well, along with a centralized account that shares points and stores purchases in case you need to buy new equipment or wish to upgrade. That could also one day allow the ability to use Virtual Console games from one system on another, like PS1 Classics. </rant> |

I agree a DVD case is really overkill, id be happy with just DS cases with an sd card inside to store Wiiware/Vc games, in fact tell me how awesome this looks http://vgboxart.com/viewfullsize/31667/Cave%20Story/ http://img515.imageshack.us/img515/7505/cavestorysdcard.jpg My only issue is....how do we get an sdcard to fit snuggly into a DS case, my only possible suggestion is cutting up one of these and fitting inside the ds slot holder http://images.highspeedbackbone.net/skuimages/large/GEN-8007-main-sp.jpg |

SD cards slip right into the DS card slot. It's loose, but as long as your case stays closed and you don't try to shake the thing like a rattle, it should be fine. There really isn't a need to mod the DS case, unless you absolutely must have a snug fit. Then you suggestion works, I suppose. It just feels like unnecessary work to me. The Cave Story cover looks really nice, and the added sticker for the card itself is also a nice touch. |
