Speaking with GameTrailers, Nintendo’s Vice President of Sales and Marketing, Cammie Dunaway was asked about the lack of any announcement regarding the Wii’s storage problem. Dunaway’s response was… well… read…:
Well we’re just hoping people can continue to manage right now using SD cards, deleting games that they’re not playing. If it’s like my house, we have so many games but we’re always on to the next one, so we just delete one when we’re downloading another one and if we ever want to go back the system knows that we purchased it and we can access it right again.
…what? What? Am I to believe that Nintendo’s official position on the storage space issues is “deal with it”? People shouldn’t have to delete their old games if they want to purchase a new one, even if the Wii remembers that you bought it.
Oh, and I love her message to the hardcore crowd that may have been disappointed by Nintendo’s showing: “Keep playing Mario Kart.”

Oh, come on. She didn’t say “keep playing Mario Kart.”
She began with that, and then offered about 10 more suggestions for past and upcoming games that a core gamer may enjoy.
I think the SD card is a fine solution for some things. Like Rock Band/Guitar Hero, they should be bundled with an SD card an start enabling DLC of songs for Wii owners.
People really don’t need more than a 2 gig card to hold all their downloaded virtual console games.
(I’m just trying to stay positive for Nintendo though, in reality, there should have been a larger storage space included if they planned to release VC games on a weekly basis)
