it can connect to wireless routers as soon as you buy it via wi-fi. it can also connect to rj45 routers via an ethernet kit. nintendo will be releasing one soon, non-branded ones may work but hasnt been confirmed
The Wii doesn't have a Hard Drive. It has 512 MB of internal flash memory. Some folks think that an external hard drive may be released or that you may be able to use USB flash drives for extra storage, but as it stands now, the only way to get extra memory is to buy an SD Card.
To put this into perspective, though, remember that the GC Memory Cards were only about 32 MB - for the larger ones.
what? then how do i download the old supermario games of the internet? Or do you just access then through the internet eachtime.. becasue i plan on gettting a big load of SNES games and i dont think you can store then ALL on 512 MB
You can. SNES games rarely were more than 5 MB uncompressed (I'm talking like Earthbound and Chronotrigger here); N64 games weren't more than about 50 MB and NES games might be 1 MB. The real question comes in when you start including downloadable content - channels, new levels, demos, previews, etc. Game saves and VC titles should have enough room on the internal memory and SD Card (I picked up a 1 GB SD card at Office Depot for $10 after Mail-in-Rebate yesterday).
You might actually fill up 512 MB, but by the time it happens, something will be out that you'll be able to use to give more storage.
