Noted. I just checked the ECloud service though, and that's what they had on the site... in any case, Nintendo could offer a little bit more, I think, especially if they want to push the system. 512MB implies the same amount of games I bought for my Wii, which was a pretty poor amount.It could be a solution to the lack of internal storage space if Nintendo wanted to, I don't know, actually stay ahead of the game and offer something other consoles don't have, but a mere 512 MB is a joke. Amazon gives you 30 gigs FREE upon using their service.Amazon only offers 5GB of free space. That is still a lot more than 512MB. But so far, on my PS Plus account, 512MB is more than enough. I have over 30 game saves in my online storage and have yet to crack 100MB of space used. Unless a save file is overbloated (the largest file I have on there is about 3MB), then 512MB should be more than sufficient for save files.
Noted.Or are we going with ridiculous over-the-top speculation?This is a kytim thread. Realistic expectations and speculation have no place here.
Well this would sure-as-hell solve the internal memory issue.
Hopefully this hasn't been posted previously, but Wii U to have Cloud storage. Looks like it will be used just for profile and save data so the 512 mb doesn't sound so low when that is taken into consideration.Quote- involves the Nintendo Network
- allows for 512 MB of online storage to each gamer
- storage tied to each Nintendo Network profile
- exclusively for save games and player profile data
- launching in Japan first
- supposedly working with Seattle, WA-based Mozy, Inc.to handle this
- source says Nintendo approached Mozy in 2010
- integrated into Wii U channels

I hope that I don't have to see you go- I've been noting that signature for far too long now.I can't wait to see the Caterkiller lynch mob that forms when it turns out you let us all down with your false hope! &P
Fear not friends, for my source sensed all the i'll will toward me and said this today:
"Watch man, people are going to be blown away by the Wii U news."
Tis true today, as the day it was written.
Evan, if that is "smart marketing", then almost no game/movie/TV/music company does "smart marketing". Although smaller games can be price less, the size of the download is not the main factor in determining the price.Huh. I suppose I should have elaborated. My comment was not meant in a "nerd-pushes-glasses-up" manner commenting on the unfairness of the industry- I know the industry is unfair. While I understand that the wholesale price of digital and physical will be the same, companies should understand that they would benefit greatly from honestly pricing their games based on how much space it takes up and factoring in the necessity to buy more SD cards, etc to cover that cost. I mean, they'd gain more trust and generally be more decent, but that's a risky move by anyone because the losses could also be just as severe. Yadda yadda yadda marketing 101 you all know this and it would be stupid for me to dream ideally about this silliness.
