Wii Stuff - First WiiWare games

This week, there are no new Wii Virtual Console downloads. Instead, you get your pick from the first six WiiWare games (aka original downloadable titles for the Wii):
  • Defend Your Castle - $5
  • Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: My Life as a King - $15
  • LostWinds - $10
  • Pop - $7
  • TV Show King - $10
  • V.I.P: Casino Blackjack - $7
Speculation is that these releases mean a hard drive for the Wii is inevitable. Even with all the streaming (aka non-downloadable) content in the new Nintendo (Marketing) Channel, these games will fill up your console's meager memory in no time. In fact, this week's games - ranging from 110 to 290 blocks required space - would take up more than half of the built-in storage (1274 of 2163) before the other channels and occasional Virtual Console title you've no doubt installed - and, oh yeah, saved games you might want to keep. Yes, you can move files to SD memory cards if you have them, but they're removed from your Wii Menu until you move them back to main memory.

How far off can a hard drive be? Unless it ships next week with WiiFit, too far...
