In a move that is sure to confuse buyers more than they already are, SanDisk today annouced plans to launch a 2GB Rock Band 2 branded storage card, which will launch this spring and retail for $12.99. According to SanDisk, 2GB is enough storage to hold up to 75 downloadable songs.
Now, here lies the problem: any SD card will work on the Wii, despite whatever logo is printed on the decal. A standard SanDisk 2GB card retails for $6.99, while the Rock Band branded will retail for $12.99, and a card with a Wii logo retails for $33.99. ...what? Does anyone seriously pay $27 extra for a logo? Is it that important to you? Let us know in comments.

In a recent interview with Club Nintendo, Reggie Fils-Aime and Shigeru Miyamoto addressed the increasingly annoying issue of Wii storage space. Miyamoto confirms that Nintendo is exploring all possible options to solve the problem, and Fils-Aime adds that Nintendo will not resort to a "traditional hard drive", but will create a solution that is "better than what we have now". Why does Nintendo have to over-complicate things? Wii owners have been asking for a hard drive for ages, just GIVE US ONE ALREADY. Ahem.
Miyamoto was also asked about Wii MotionPlus, and its possible incorporation into a new Zelda game. Miyamoto again confirmed that Nintendo is working on new Zelda and Pikmin titles, but declined to comment on Wii MotionPlus use.
Miyamoto went on to say that Wii owners shouldn't expect new peripherals any time soon, as he feels there are more than enough available for the Wii at the present time.

...
So LutherJW and I have been meaning to do a 'team feature' for a while. Be it a debate, top 10 list, just SOMETHING that wasn't boring old Nintendo news. Well, Nintendo news isn't really boring, but you get what I mean. So this evening we had a friendly debate about storage space on the Wii, and whether or not there is enough. This debate took place our very own
N+ Chat Room. Come join us sometime!
Hit the jump for the debate. It isn't a long one, but we made our points pretty quickly.
