SD cards come in different reading speeds. Is this really the ideal form of storage for a video game home console? I think not. It just seems like Nintendo is trying whatever they can to lower the cost, and that's understandable. It's possible that a game won't load properly off of an SD card with low reading speed, so I suggest prospective Wii U owners to get an external HDD if 8GB is too little. You could use it for more than Wii U stuff too so there is extra incentive there.
