Reggie confirms Wii storage solution still in the works

Club Nintendo magazine has a new interview with the Regginator regarding storage solution for your undoubtedly full refrigerator. Basically, they’re not sure what form of storage the end product will be, but if they’re going to provide one, they’re going to do it the right way. Online storage perhaps?

I want the people to have the right expectations. We have never said that it will be a hard drive, nor have we mentioned how we will fix this issue, but we are going to deliver a better way to store games.

The same magazine confirmed a new Zelda game, reconfirmed a new Pikmin game, and a “no comment” regarding Wii MotionPlus being utilized in either. At the same time, expect the Wii MotionPlus to be the last major first-party controller peripheral for a while.

Nintendo bringing Wi-Fi network adapter to Japan

Seeing as how Nintendo’s Wi-Fi USB Connector is currently discontinued pending a lawsuit against Buffalo, it would make sense that Nintendo come up with a way to get wireless-less Wii and DS owners online in some manner.

Enter the Wi-Fi network adapter you see above. From the looks of it, you simply plug in the power, plug into your LAN or directly to the Internet, and you’re good to go. It supports 802.11g/b, and will be available for ¥5800. It’s a safe bet that it only allows connections for Wii and DS systems, and it’s also a safe bet that this will only be heavily supported in Japan. Maybe a limited release via the Nintendo Online Store for the rest of the world?

More pics after the break!
