Up until now, Nintendo’s stance toward the storage problem has been a bit lackadaisical, to say the least, and after the famous “geeks and otaku” comment out of Europe, it looked like the mini-fridge may never see an upgrade. However, good ol’ Reggie seems to have gamers’ backs. When asked about the problem in an interview with MTV, he responded:

From an Americas-centric perspective… this is becoming much more of a mainstream problem, which is why we have a sense of urgency to solve it.

I’ll give you one thumb way up for the ambition, but I’m going to save the other until I see some real progress. Until then it looks like Toki Tori is going to have to wait.
