It seems that InPhase Technologies and Nintendo might be working on something known as Holographic Data Storage, which is recording data to a disk.

A patent that was made earlier in the year has the following paragraph in it:

"... disclosure is herein made that the claimed invention was made pursuant to a Joint Research Agreement as defined in 35 U.S.C. 103 (c)(3), that was in effect on or before the date the claimed invention was made, and as a result of activities undertaken within the scope of the Joint Research Agreement, by or on the behalf of Nintendo Co., and InPhase Technologies, Inc."


Though it does not say anything about Holographic Storage it does say Joint Research Agreement which means “… a written contract, grant, or cooperative agreement entered into by two or more persons or entities for the performance of experimental, developmental, or research work in the field of the claimed invention.”

And if one were to venture over to the InPhase Technologies website, found here www.inphase-tech.com/ , you would find they specialise in Holographic Data Storage.

But how would this be capable in the Nintendo Wii? Well Nintendo would need to put a new disk drive in to the Wii or they might come up with something better.

Could this open up a whole new chapter in Video Game Storage Solutions?

Guess we will have to wait to find out and see.
