Shitstorm incoming...........

Why? What am I missing?

we had a 300+ posts thread about wifi and the option to buy a 15 bucks ethernet dongle... so I expect at least 400 posts of not able to use a 32gb sd card to save your downloaded content..

Don't get your hopes up. That thread is made possible through a special and potent combination of misplaced elitism, deliberate ignorance, and their titanic clash with cold reality.  This cocktail you've got here has nothing on it.

Waaait a second, that means if my Wii U explodes all my eShop games are gone because i can't use my HDD on another Wii U? If yes, that's a deal-breaker to me.

I imagine the games you buy from the eshop will be stored in your Nintendo Network account, so if your Wii U breaks you just have to download the games again.

OMG Nintendo. This is ridiculous! Do you expect me to store all my games on a tiny 32GB drive instead of my external 3TB SD card?!

Something to do with transfer speeds on SD cards maybe? Software on SD cards on Wii were a bit slow to boot up, and they were small.

Put your SD card into your SDcard USB adapter plug it into the WiiU TADAAA Saved on a SD card.


Btw whats the problem? I will use this:

Super small and black like my WiiU will be. It has 32gb and just cost me 12 euros half a year ago.

So why is there even an SD card slot? What else is there to store besides software downloads?
