Not sure if this will be released for customers or just for the retail sector, but it works with an HDD.

Funny my wii already does most of this stuff.EnigmaXtreme said:The Wii,currently, does nothave a hard drive. However, Nintendo appears to be considering one since they filed a patent for a process that transfers Wii games to a hard drive.
Nintendo’s plan is to make a separate hard drive partition for each DVD game. Once games are saved on a hard drive, the Wii reads a directory and shows all available games with box art. This is done by accessing a virtual DVD partition on the hard drive. The interface also displays ESRB ratings and the patent mentions possible parental controls.
