And that is why digital sacks SACKS


Doesn't suck for me with my 2 TB HDD.


It's gonna such for you when I have all my original games in 20 years and your HDD is dead.

If that happens, you can just re-download them onto a new HDD. And because your save data is stored separately on your console's internal memory, it will be absolutely fine. In fact, likely safer, as your precious discs stand a great chance of getting lost or scratched over the course of 20 years, no? Yes. Unless of course you lock them in an underground safe and never play them, or move away.


No, you can not redownload them... why? Because your original Wii-U will have died by that point and your games are tied TO THE SYSTEM. Also, and believe me, I've given this alot of thought, "redownloading" only works when the parent company is still hosting the data for you to download. So if Nintendo isn't in the business of keeping 20 year old games on some server for Wii-U owners in the year 2034? How are you gonna get that download? You're not going to be able to do that.
