Nintendo Europe’s Laurent Fischer has sparked new debate about the issue of the much-needed extra storage for Nintendo Wii users struggling with the console’s tiny internal memory and juggling SD cards too, but he stated that there is nothing as drastic as an external hard drive planned.

“We definitely detect that [gamers] are serious and we know there is an issue in this, so it’s something that we’re working on,” he told GamesIndustry.biz.

“Definitely there’s no plan to issue hardware - an external hard drive, but we know that we have an issue in that area. It’s very obvious and we’re perfectly aware of it, but there’s nothing we can say beyond this.”
