The last two days have been nothing but an avalanche of Wii news. We got release dates, territory pricing, and some new features all dropped on our laps. We're full, stuffed to the brim from the delicious smorgasbord of news. We're going to have to undo our belt, if you don't mind...So in all the excitement, has anyone ever checked past Nintendo promises in regard to the Wii to ensure that our beloved gaming company is providing us with truthful, accurate information? One blogger over at Joystiq, our good friend Ludwig, has done just that. The results show that Nintendo, like another gaming company who made a few promises, failed to deliver.
Our favorite burn from the article:
Then: In March 2006, Satoru Iwata tells CNN all about the USB ports on the Wii and how "practically any storage method can be used" in lieu of SD cards and the 512MB of internal storage.
Now: Perrin Kaplan empties her Magnum into that idea, telling Wired News' Joel Johnson that only flash storage will be supported. Iwata's suggestion becomes relegated to something Nintendo "could" explore in the future. This "future" place we keep hearing about sounds fantastic.
Head on over and give it a read.
