Now you must be thinking just get the digital copy for peanuts in a couple of weeks you fool! well i tell you that i can't because i have the white 8gb wii u and with what little space i have left is reserved for the second mario kart 8 dlc pack and i will never buy an external hardrive again because they are so unreliable (i bought one before and it died within 2 months).

well you shouold buy a usb stick anyway, 16gb are dirt cheap and you dont have to worry about space for some time

I have a 8GB Wii U and I'm using a 32GB USB stick for the time being.  I just put all my save files and smaller games on the Wii U and larger games and demos on the USB.  I bought a USB with five-year warranty so it might be a little more reliable and it cost ~$16.


what brand/make is your usb stick?

Kingston DataTraveler Generation 4 32GB USB Drive

It also goes on sale all the time and I've seen it for cheaper than what I paid for it.

A USB stick should do wonders. get one only for the Triology if you wish and that should set you back an additional 5 bucks. So 15 bucks and you can paint the USB and metroid-color you want!

Why not buy a Usb hard drive instead?

You should definitely buy 32GB USB stick.

As Metroid, I have hacked vWii on my WIi U and already have Metroid Trilogy, but for price of $10 I will buy to have Metroid on my Wii U menu too, it's practically free, $3.33 per game, I will definitely support Metroid and Nintendo on this.

Sounds nice, happy for you

I plan on buying the Trilogy from the eShop if it's cheap enough. I've tried the series but could never get into it. I'm willing to give it another go


Prime Trilogy for $10 is without a doubt the greatest deal in gaming history.

USB sticks can be very reliable if you buy quality.

I have a couple of these and they're fantastic:

 

Oh and do get a USB 3.0 stick. Don't know if WiiU supports only 2.0 but they're faster regardless.
