Gamez and Gadgetz

Today at the conference that Nintendo has in the GDC has finally offered a solution to the issue while announcing the new titles for digital distribution platform from Nintendo.

The company today has updated its console with firmware 4.0, which finally allows to download games directly to SD card or to have to boot from it, now may be larger than 2GB fortunately. Saved games are stored in flash memory of the console.

A small cosmetic change will continue to update this because it will have an icon in the bottom left menu and you can save up to 240 titles on the same card. Although it seems somewhat rudimentary it is true that this measure will save the items in more than a hobby, since the Wii has 256 MB which seemed insufficient to say the least given the increasingly strong presence of digital distribution.

The loading times are not too long. Eurogamer says the games that run on the SD is transferred to a temporary flash of the console, which translates to lower load times. In fact, the NES games loaded in a couple of seconds while titles such as Nintendo 64 will be close to fifteen seconds.
