nope... LOL i got the basic model... barely any memory in it... so i just buy retail... i just checked the shop.... mmm any recommendations? i want something i would play from time to time... casual-ish but worth visiting like tomodachi collection on my 3ds


Well you have a choice between a few Nintendo retail games to download: four of them if you're in North America, 10 if you're in Europe. Go to that link I gave you to see which ones. The first party games like Wind Waker and NSMBU will have small memory footprints. You can find out the file sizes by going to the eShop on your Wii U and going to the game's page. It'll show you there. Pick a game you planned to eventually buy and go with that. You can download it to a flash drive you need to, or you can even put in your download code now and download the game later if you need to. Just make sure you get your code before July 31.

When Mario Kart Wii launched there was approx 55.5million Wii consoles sold, there is 1/8th that number of Wii-U's out there right now so the numbers line up very well for MK8. Think of it like this out of 55million Wii owners 4million of them bought MK wii in the first 5 weeks. 6 million Wii-us and 2million copies of MK8 ( not including digital downloads) is a far greater attach rate and success story considering the Wii-U's situation.

Are you trying to say MK8 sales are bad or something?

If only they got profit from attach rates instead of actual sales.

This is very cynical and I kinda feel bad.
