The machine itself has precious little space, yet so much to fill it with, thanks to WiiWare and the Virtual Console...
Sure, you can supplement the lack of room with an SD card, but the process was a royal pain, with having to go into the Wii's memory management menu to manually move media (
This is not fun...
But the latest system update has fixed that! There's now a button on the bottom of the main channel screen to directly access the SD card, and you can play games stored there right from the card (they're displayed on a sub menu that looks and operates like the main channel menu)
You can also now choose to download games directly from WiiShop to the card!
And in addition to that (though not as crucial), they've also recently begun adding Arcade and Commodore 64 games to the Virtual Console! So far, there's only 4 or so for each, but I can't wait to play some of the C64 games I remember playing on an uncle's machine way back in the day (like Bad Street Brawler) if/when they're added!
I don't use the thing nearly as often as I should/would like to, but it's great that they're actually addressing its shortcomings slowly but surely...
