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

Rogerioandrade on 18 March 2013

Some games already have dlc. Just Dance 4, Assassin´s Creed, Ninja Gaiden 3.... Activision is currently working on some dlc for Cod:Bo2. NSMBU is also getting dlc soon (Luigi). There´re also apps like WiiStreetU, Tvii, UPlay...so, yeah, WiiU is getting dlc

From what I can see, every Wii U 3rd party game bar those which are made by EA has had some DLC, and likely will in the future.

So yes.



 

Here lies the dearly departed Nintendomination Thread.

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


People will do what they did when their 360s and PS3s ran out of storage in the past, get a new HDD lol. Some people are thinking way too much on this. Plugging in a USB HDD is actually easier than replacing HDDs on 360 or PS3 as well, I don't see much a problem.
