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.. whats the SD card then for? only Savegames?

So save it to a USB thumb drive or external HDD.

But my WiiU usb port is filled up by the USB Ethernet connector.... :P

Seems a little odd to single out SD cards but it's not a big deal when you can store onto an external HDD which will have a lot more storage.

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

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

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.

Not a problem as I was planning to buy an external hdd.

However what is the internal memory used for?

Why 32GB vs 8GB?
