These units lack an optical disc drive, but have an internal hard disk that has eight banks into which disc images are loaded. Switches on the front of the unit change which bank is used to emulate the optical disc. So it doesn't necessarily mean that there is a mass storage device that will be available to consumers. This hotel setup could just use a variation of the testing/development hardware. It could use something similar to the “red” Revolution test kits used for development/testing.

It's more than two full games, which probably means the size of the files have to exceed 512 MB. @Rex Dart – The Westin Wii has Wii Sports, Wii Fit, Wii Play and Big Brain Academy: Wii Degree on it.
