No offense. But reading these comments took me back into early Xbox 360 and PS3 days. Nintendo should increase Wii U's storage.


No offense but I believe you are completely wrong.  It is better to pass the cost to the consumer when it comes to storage.  So you want them to increase their internal storage space right?  They use SSD for their internal storage.  SSD are far more expensive than a regular external hard drive.  Is it too much to ask of consumers that are heavy digital users to go out and buy a 1-2 TB external drive for under $100.  This isn't Microsoft charging people outrageous prices for proprietary hard drives for the 360 or Sony doing the same thing for proprietary SD cards on the Vita.  This is Nintendo giving the consumer the option to vastly expand the storage space for under $100.  I suppose you might be too lazy to buy and hook up an external drive.  I for one haven't done it yet but I still have a little space left with a decent amount of stuff downloaded.

1. When it comes to Nintendo poor offering; people really seem to care about. Lol. But it doesnt change the fact Wii U's memory is really tiny.

2. Microsoft and Sony both charge too much for HDD. There is no denying that. But still the overall cost of the system is justified.

3. I have 12 GB PS3 super slim with 64 GB SSD. I know how to change. Please dont call other people lazy based on your imagination.

15GB I think.

Okay, so you changed an internal drive.  This is even more simple.  You plug an external into the usb port.  You have a valid point about the low internal storage space.  They should have never released the 8GB model.  It should have been 32 GB and 64 GB.  I'm just saying the cost to consumer for expanded space will be cheaper if they are given an option to go out and buy it for themselves than Nintendo provide it with internal SSD.  Most Nintendo games don't have huge patches that are GBs in space big.  Perhaps they need to offer more space next generation for the third party companies that do those large patches.

Ive owned it since launch, but I only buy VC and Eshop only games....

I have 12GB free with 8 Wii U VC games, 8 eshop games, NSMBU download (from MK8 promotion), Tank! Tank! Tank! and Wii Sports Club free versions which I have yet to try.

One good thing about VC games...  They take up barely any space...  I still use an old 2 GB SD card for my Wii VC/WiiWare games and I have a shitload of them and still a ton of space left.

I've got 9.4GB free on mine, and if I need to, I can bring it up to 11.5GB by deleting a few demos.

I just hope the Wii U version of Bayonetta 1, if it comes as a download in Australia, is smaller than that...


I think it's safe to say the original Bayonetta won't be bigger than the max size of a dual layer DVD. You know the disc the 360 version used. 

I just worry that, as Ataraxias suggested, the new costumes, items, animations, sound effects, and potentially less compressed assets or reused ones for better disc seek times could combine to make it bigger than the 360 release. 


Maybe, but if they're going to do B1 digital only outside of Japan, they have some pressure on them from Nintendo to compress as much as they can. Just my thoughts, but it seems Nintendo really wants to make sure their games aren't too big in data size (to make more people buy digital), when I think of MK8 and even more with 3D World. Again, just my thoughts.



Yep.

I hope you're right. It's just that even Tropical Freeze by Nintendo was like 11GB, and Wonderful 101, which they offered for the MK8 free download deal, was 10GB.

Actually you have only used around 3 GB's since the 32 GB version has 25 GB for us to use. ;)

  • Some of the storage space is used by the system software. The 8GB Basic Set has approximately 3GB available for data storage and downloads. The 32GB Deluxe Set has approximately 25GB available for data storage and downloads.


Yep.
