Nintendo just announced that SD cards working in collaboration with its brand new SD storage solution can store up to 240 games.

That’s a large number. Nintendo’s been liking the large numbers pretty well lately.

Do you even have 240 games? We don’t. And no, those cheap NES rip-off collections don’t count.

Hard drive? No, but it’s still a storage solution, and it’ll have to do.

According to a report by Eurogamer, Nintendo recently updated the Wii system software to run games from all channels — Virtual Console, WiiWare, you name it — straight from an SD card.

Save games, however, must still be stored in the Wii’s system memory. Bummer. But not really.

Speaking to GI, Team 17 head Martyn Brown’s welcomed the ability to slot and SD card into the newly announced DSi, but has warned the feature may bring more widespread piracy to the platform.

“Adding an SD slot makes a bunch of sense for downloadable content given the way things are going,” he said.

“I just hope they’ve done something to counter the mass piracy that exists via the R4 on the Lite. It scares me that with an SD card input, that might leave it even wider open that it was on the original device.
