Internet whispers: Wii hard drive to make way for Neo Geo games?

As CVG reports, certain rumors have been circulating around the internet saying that Nintendo is on the verge of finally unveiling a hard drive for the Wii. What, what? Last we heard, that rumor was totally debunked back in March.

Giving more reason for the rumor to stand on its legs is an announcement of Neo Geo back in April, saying that they’re set to pimp out the Wii with their very own Virtual Console titles. And considering how huge those Neo Geo games are (CVG clocks some of the games to as much as 300+ MiB), the Wii’s internal 512 MiB memory might not be able to keep up.

As far as the rumor goes, the event we should keep our eyes on would be the coming E3 event, where Nintendo is supposedly going to reveal some new hardware – one of which, of course, could be that hard drive.

We’ll give you updates come July when the expo is in full swing.
