Nintendo America has shot down any rumor that the Nintendo Wii will be getting a hard drive to facilitate upcoming WiiWare titles.
"The way that we look at it is, we really don't want people storing every single game they buy on their drive," PR manager Eric Walter said.
"When you buy a game, it's yours forever, so you can delete it, and go back and get it at any time you want. In a way, we liken it to putting music on your iPod; you listen to it for a while, and then you get tired of it, and you pull it off, and you put some new stuff on" he added.
Gamers have complained about transferring data between the console's 512MB internal flash memory and an SD card and depending on the size of the WiiWare games, a significant amount of space may need to be cleared in order to have room for the titles. Walter however, does not see this as a problem.
"A lot of the games for WiiWare that have been submitted so far are smaller in size, so they’re not gonna take up a ton of your drive," he added.
