So here we are, post E3. I thought the video game industry would simmer down a little (from the let down of the event perhaps?) but I'm glad to see I was wrong. On the Wii front, at least, a lot of great stuff happened this week. Nintendo's finally has that darned storage problem classified as "urgent," and there's also hints of a new Wii Photo Channel coming soon. We've got a lot more for you, so let's get started ! We're working on it The Wii is a great console with a lot to offer, but it has some stark shortcomings. Nintendo has finally perked up its ears and has decided to fix a couple of these issues. First up is the Wii Friend Code System, which makes you memorize credit card numbers have to bother with a long string of numbers just to add someone up. Nintendo big boss Satoru Iwata admits that this system isn't perfect, and said that they are working to find a better method without losing the sense of security and safety it provides. Second is that danged storage system. The current capacity is just not enough. We didn't hear about it at E3, so some of us (me!) might be worried about how development's going. It's small comfort, but Nintendo of America President Reggie Fils-Aime recently admitted that the problem is now "mainstream" and that they have a "sense of urgency to solve it."
