There's gonna have to be an SD card solution - they didn't put that slot there for the Photo channel and Brawl screenshots.

I have two '64 games, 6 or 7 other VC titles, about 15 game saves and assorted channels... and haved used maybe... little over half? Weird. WiiWare's out in 4 days, should have room for 5-6 titles (assuming 40mb files) but then, yeah, I'll be out of room too.

@Josh*: I've got 27 VC games, saves for 26 Wii games, and the photo, internet, Mii, voting, Wii Fit and Check Mii Out channels. I know plenty of people who filled their Wii months ago - I just haven't bought many N64 and NeoGeo titles.

So when will Nintendo actually release some storage solution so i can start spending my money? My Wii's full, and I'm not deleting anything.

What world is this, that's twice at least this year that Nintendo has favored Europeans.

I'm just gonna say STAY AWAY FROM MY LIFE AS A KING. You are gonna run out of wii points in the blink of an eye.

Also, you are going to lose complete track of time for the day you start playing. It's so incredibly adicting for an RPG where you just give orders.

You are very limited at first, but as your "adventurers" explore dungeons and kill monsters for suplies that will help you rebuild your empire, you will be doing a lot more. And suddenly, in lapses of 10 minutes or so (the lenght of a day) you discover you've been playing for several hours running around saying hi to people and giving orders.

Then you will realize you didn't did your real life work and your pets were not fed and you will live a miserable and lonely life if you ever remember to eat again.

Now i'll go back to the game.

the site has been updated, this is NOT their lauch list. Pretty much the same situation as us.
"Update, 12.05pm: Nintendo has been in touch to say "not all eight titles will be immediately available from the May 20th launch date". The wording in the press release was, "From 20th May onwards a whole host of brand new creative games from...blah blah blah"

Warning to those interested in Star Soldier R.

Please be aware that it is a FIVE (5) minute game, and only the hardcore of the hardcore should buy it. If youare looking for a longer shmup, try GyroStarr or Proethea

Hmm, just been rereading that article on Eurogamer. It would appear that "not all eight titles will be immediately available from the May 20th launch date"

Well that's a kicker, and rather unhelpfully there's no official word as yet from Nintendo Europe as to which of those "launch" titles will actually be a launch title.

@Grey Gecko:

Dr. Mario is supposed to be out in the US next week so we'll still have it before Europe.

That's probably why they gave them a couple extra games in their launch lineup.

Star Soldier R! Good, I was wondering where it ended up in. Im sure US will get it in time between now and the Euroland release. Game looks really promising.

I'm glad that the US didn't have this release lineup. Otherwise I probably would be out about $40 bucks this week instead of ten.

i bought defend and pop. i was expecting pop to be more fun than it is, but i am surprised with defend. very well put together, very enjoyable. wiiware is going to be great for everyone involved, but nintendo has got to solve the space issues as soon as possible.

@ashstampede: Nope, 700 points. Points don't change between countries, just the real world prices for those points. 700 points costs quite a bit more than US$7 here in Australia for example.
