Rumour: Cloud Storage for Wii U
When Nintendo launched the Wii they were criticised for not equipping the console with a sizeable memory solution, it sounds like Nintendo have found an affordable way around this…
- Won’t hit at launch, currently planned for 2013
- Another feature of the Nintendo Network
- Currently only allows for 512 MB of online storage to each online profile
- Exclusively for games saves and profile data
- Will launch in Japan first
- Nintendo approached Seattle, WA-based Mozy, Inc.to handle this in 2010
- Work on the service didn’t begin until late 2011
- Will be incorporated into Wii U’s menu interface
What could be even more interesting is if Nintendo allowed gamers to upgrade the size of their storage for a small fee to allow DLC data to be saved too. While they may not confirm exact details they would likely announce such a feature at E3, which is just 21 days away!
