N-Europe has learnt that the firmware update which allows for an SD storage solution will be launched worldwide.

Nintendo finally announced a Wii storage solution during their Japanese Media Summit in the early hours of the morning. Starting in Spring 2009, users will be able to download games directly on to an SD card and stream them from the card.

The solution was previously confirmed only for Japan, but a Nintendo spokesperson has told N-Europe that the solution will also be available in Europe. This was inevitable really, but it's nice to have confirmation!

What are your thoughts on the storage solution - is it adequate for the current storage crisis, or is it still inconvenient for us geeks and otaku?
