MS and Sony Fans! What would it take for you to buy a WiiU?

Because the I doubt with all my downloading the Wii U will be able to handle it all.

Yeah, that makes sense, but I don't see the connection to Wii games that's implyed by your wording. Wii games can't be downloaded and Wii Virtual Console/WiiWare games can only be saved on the internal memory or on an SD card. Wii Us Wii mode is not compatible with USB drives as far as I know.

I guess you mean that you want to download Wii U games, and yeah, in that case, you'll need a hard drive, but for anything related to Wii U's backwards compatibility, hard drives are totally useless.

So you're saying saves can't go to external HD's like the 360?

No, only to an SD card. That's because it only worked that way on the Wii, and the Wii Us Wii mode is just a Wii running on Wii U hardware with a special channel that allows you to switch back to the Wii U menu. When operating Wii mode, none of the Wii Us features work (no Miiverse etc.) except that you can use the Gamepad as a screen (not as a controller though). It's basically like switching to a Wii console that sits inside of the Wii U.

Oh, and some games' saves can't be written to an SD card. There aren't many of these (Super Smash Bros. Brawl comes to mind), and I don't know why you can't put them on one, but it doesn't work. You'll have to use the internal memory for these.
