to Wii.
An official job listing at Nintendo of America suggests that multiple
USB devices are on their way to Wii, this amid storage concerns for
the console that lacks a hard drive.
The job opening, as posted on Nintendo.com three days ago, is for a
"Software/Hardware Tester" that can create and execute a "test plan
for Wii's USB devices." Nintendo has yet to publicly announce any USB
devices for Wii, however, although the console supports the protocol.
The news comes as Wii owners struggle to manage downloadable content
and games, given the console's limiting 512MB internal memory. Both
the Xbox 360 and PS3 feature internal hard drives for mass storage.
Nintendo responded to storage concerns last week saying, "Consumers
have the option of either deleting the game and downloading it again
for no additional Wii Points, or transferring the game from Wii to
external SD memory card."
Previously, Nintendo has likened the file management and limited
storage space of Wii to that of a refrigerator, suggesting gamers
should "pull something out and put something back in" when software
isn't being used.
