The Nintendo Wii is finally starting to catch up to itself, at least in terms of accessories and hardware availability. I’ve noticed that prices on eBay and other typical locations are starting to drop and availabilities are becoming more widespread. Specifically, I could go right down to my corner Super Store and pickup a Wiimote and Nunchuck, whereas 1 month ago I could not. That’s part of the reason why I created the Wii Shop so that visitors could always find a Wii or hardware to purchase.
Over 6 months later and consumers are still itching to get their hands on the latest Wii components. Manufacturers have hinted the past few days that there will be more to sink your teeth into soon enough. Topping the list is the potential for a Wii Hard Drive. The suggestion was made due to the increasing size in Virtual Console downloads and their success. Most Wii owners have multiple virtual console titles.
Next in the development rumor mill is the creation of a Wii router. The Nintendo Wii contains it’s own wireless abilities, but a Router is required for connectivity. Gemtek, the creator of the Wii’s wireless capabilities, announced that they would be releasing a Nintendo branded router. Afterall, if your gonna go wireless for the Wii, might as well having matching components in your living room.
