Nintendo deny that a hard drive for the Wii is on the way.

Just days ago, rumour had it that Nintendo Japan Executives held a secret meeting recently to discuss the possibility of a hard drive coming to the Wii.

The Wii itself supports SD Cards and houses 512MB Internal Flash Memory. This will be enough for games saves, but for downloadable content and Virtual Console downloads, the 512MB is really pushing it. Couple that with the fact that another rumour stated that Sega Saturn titles could soon be making its way onto the Virtual Console indicated that Nintendo were looking to a means of memory expansion.

However, a spokesman for Nintendo of Europe has told GamesIndustry.biz that these reports are "pure rumour and speculation."

Will a third party come up with the goods? Time will tell.
