Nobody even make 32 gb hd .. They could easily switch to 64 or 128gb cost would be only a few dollars. nintendo Wiiu part are all old and outdated there much better yet still cheap parts that could replace and improve performance beside I think they should only improve load times not alienate current base with incompatible games. the most expensive part on the Wiiu is the gamepad. Compare price of gamepad to controller pro... The gamepad is necessary?? My gamepad has been dead for almost 6 month, I been using only wii remote or controller pro. The system can already work without gamepad!!! |
Firstly, I agree that an increase to RAM alone would be a good upgrade since it's hardly costly, and would boost the OS well. More bundles with larger storage capacities is actually a no-brainer, but a redesign with all of the upgrades you mentioned in OP is too much for <$250. You're also right that the Wii U hardware is outdated. Hell, people said that it was outdated when it came out 2 years ago.
The fact that the gamepad is an expensive part of the overall package certainly stands. I never spoke against it, but I believe there are some features to the current OS that can only be operated with the GP, such as system settings. I'm pretty sure you need it to set up the console in the first place, and there is in fact many games that require the gamepad. (Ex: Nintendo Land, Wii Party U)
