Nah the cartridges would make the Wii look like it was created in the 90s and Nintendo waited a decade to release it. Plus it was pain in the ass when i had to blow the cartridges just to make it work.

Yeah thinner and the color would be white to match the Wii . But overall i doubt we'll be seeing any cartridges for any consoles.

Well, for Nintendo, that's a great thing. But then again, remember how easy it is to get a DS flash cart?

I missed the old cartridge systems, just rip the game out and chuck it into the corner, but with games getting bigger you need a decent sized storage medium like a DVD, the down side is Nintendo looses some cash from pirating.

im sure if they stuck with it nintendo would have developed a cartridge with more memory. Is Nintendo the only company that has a problem with pirates?

Rememeber SD cards? They are getting really big, and really cheap. I'm sure nintendo will figure it out. But then of course, they are much more expensive to produce...

cartridges were a lot more easily pirated than discs many noob hackers cant get passed the copyright on the disc but on the cartridge people take out the nintendo cartidge reader and connect it to their conputer through the audio inputs and download the files not enough memory for copyright

does everyone know about PCMICA well if u do there are 16 to 32 gb at the moment for those cards could easily store 1-2 HD games x

Cartridges are good, but as the size of the games increase, so does the cost to manufacture them. Neo geo anyone? lol...$200 for a cartridge from what I remember...

If your CDs and DVDs are taking punishment, you are doing it wrong. A lot of people say that they back up their games to protect them from their kids, but I would rather give the kids the original, and if they break it, bad luck. They'll never get another. At least they'll learn to mind their stuff real quick.

I seriously doubt in the future we will still be using discs. The problem is new storage depends soley on the consumer market, it has to be accepted widely before the prices will be competitive. Flash memory these days is dropping in price hugely so hopefully we will go back to solid state storage. I mean hey - hard drives for computers are starting to trickle out which have no platter, completely solid state. Once the tech for computers is widely accepted the prices will start to drop and you'll probably see it becoming the new removable storage medium.

And I put my old N64 controller pack through the washing machine in one of my pairs of pants and its still going. Nintendo made that console out of melted down ninjas I swear its invincible..
