Speevy said:Probably not. That would require a substantial amount of development time.
Speevy said:The Wii has FAR too little space to hold all these games.
Does its 1 GB memory card/unit store these games?
You, sir, are my new favorite poster.Rat Salad said:So whats it gonna take for a console to release R.B.I. Baseball with online play?
speevy said:Seriously though, great list. They've matched XBLA in one month, just like I said.
You know, this made me realize that Nintendo has a real spoiler on their hands.Firestorm said:I was hoping for Super Metroid or Chrono Trigger soon. Oh well, not like I'd have spent my time with VC games this year anyway. I need to play Wii games first! Zelda is calling![]()

512 MB internal flash memory. You can also use SD cards to save stuff onto. Might want to wait a bit before going out and buying one of the new 4 GB ones, though, as we don't know if the wii can read those. The 2GBs and lower should definitely work, though.FrenchMovieTheme said:also does wii come w/ a built-in harddrive?
GaimeGuy said:oh, and by the way: the largest game on this list is Mario 64, at 8 megs.
Speevy said:Right. What's a large N64 game though? 32 MB? It would store just 16 of those. 512 may be plenty for a while, but with hundreds or even THOUSANDS of games available, everyone's going to want some more space by the end of the generation.

the largest N64 games are Pokemon Stadium 3 (2 in the US) and Resident Evil 2, at 64 megs each. The next largest game is Ogre Battle 64 at 40 megs, and then there's a whole bunch of 32 meg games.Speevy said:Right. What's a large N64 game though? 32 MB?

I believe the two largest N64 games are Conker's Bad Fur Day, and Resident Evil 2 (both at 64 MB). If 512 MB isn't enough, you can always get an SD Card. By this time next year, 2 GB SD Cards should be consistently under $10.Speevy said:Right. What's a large N64 game though? 32 MB?

are you seriously going to buy hundreds or thousands of games? If you really need more space, you can always delete the games you aren't playing at a certain time and re-download them later for free (I'm pretty sure it's been announced that you can do this).
Or, you can get an SD card and use that to store your games.
I'm pretty sure Conker was 32 megs (could be wrong, though).Matt said:I believe the two largest N64 games are Conker's Bad Fur Day, and Resident Evil 2 (both at 64 MB). If 512 MB isn't enough, you can always get an SD Card. By this time next year, 2 GB SD Cards should be consistently under $10.

Polari said:Good to see that there aren't any rights problems with Rare developed games. Maybe Goldeneye isn't that far-fetched after all.
OatmealMu said:Jet Force Gemini comes in at around 32, yeah. Mario 64, Wave Race, and other early N64 games are definitely on the low end of the spectrum.
Polari said:Thankfully SD cards are dirt cheap and Nintendo hasn't gone the proprietary route, unlike Microsoft.
