I have one but all my games are physical copies so my 32 gig Wii U still has plenty of space.

I don't see me buying any digital game so I'm probably gonna be fine without one.

i'm thinking about it. I got about 15gb left. I NEED shovel knight. I'm getting the mario kart dlc, i still need to import my wii games/data and i want to at least have the option of getting the hyrule warriors dlc. I'd really rather not have an external hard drive, but i'm not sure i'll have a choice. Seems like my storage issues would go away if i just deleted rayman. That game was alot bigger than i was expecting. Probably should've checked before downloading it, but it was on sale and i was excited. I was surprisingly disappointed with that game.
Btw, SPURGE i don't think that hd is actually made by nintendo. Just liscenced by them. The packaging does make it look that way though. It's a bit deceiving.


When you import your Wii over it doesn't use any of the storage space. It uses part of the 512mb nand chip in which the Wii OS is stored... and/or the SD card :)

No hard drive. I figured I will only buy games like NES Remix on the E-Shop and get retail games...



My grammar errors are justified by the fact that I am a brazilian living in Brazil. I am also very stupid.

Bought a hd case for a few quid online and stuck an old laptop hard drive in mine.

Games load significantly faster off the hard drive than off the built in flash.
