Is the Wii U going to get downloadable content? If so, how much?

Actually its 3gb or 24gb, once you've updated it the console.

Nintendo themselves said: "High-capacity flash drives are supported, but it doesn’t recommend using them because read/write speeds could affect the console’s performance." So high capacity flash drives are out.

They expect us to buy additional third party storage in order to take advantage of the consoles features. You shouldn't have to buy additional USB hard drives in order to use the console. What was nintendo thinking? 3/24gb...

 

PS3/360 have like 250gb - 500gb included in the console already. So this is just ridiculous.

Considering the first thing I did when I got my PS3 was to change it's HDD, I don't find it so ridiculous at all. :P Also yeah, flash drives can be shitty due to the nature of their design and you'd actually get slower than disc drive speeds.

Also, who's us? Do you have a Wii U? If you don't, then you are not part of "us" here and if you are, time to suck it up lol. I already had like 4 USB HDD's laying around when the Wii U came out so I just tossed a 500GB with it on launch day, not having one is so last century.

Average consumers aren't going to buy 1 usb external hard drive let alone 5. It's not a good thing to have such limited memory.

I'm wondering how developers respond to this. I know there is a migration of third party devs away from nintendo, but I'm wondering how the lackluster storage will affect the DLC specifically
