The one thing that could be said was the main drawback about the Wii is the lack of storage. OK, there is the internal memory and when that runs out you can fit a 2GB SD card. But with the success of Wiiware and the Virtual Console, Nintendo has finally admitted that the lack of storage could be a problem.

Up until now, the games console maker has said the storage issue was only a problem for the hardcore Wii gamers, but in a recent interview, Nintendo of America boss Reggie Fils-Amie said that are looking to come up with ways to fix the problem as more people store games and game data on their Wii's.

"We have said publicly that we're looking hard at the storage situation, that we're working on a range of solutions. We have nothing to announce now. But certainly it's an issue we are aware of and we're working to find a solution and we will," Fils-Amie told MTV Multiplayer.

He added that there is "a userbase who really is enjoying WiiWare content."

"So for us really our challenge really is how do we satisfy all these consumers who are loving all of the product we make available on a download basis? As we continue to have things, as you point out, like ‘Mario Kart' that has its own channel when you're playing from an Internet perspective, we're just making this challenge tougher and tougher."

He said that this was becoming much more of a mainstream problem, "which is why we have a sense of urgency to solve it."

We here have thought of a fix. There is a USB port on the back. Come up with a hard drive that hangs off the back of this, a quick firmware upgrade later and voila - problem solved. Our invoice is in the post!
