Makes you LOL at Wii U's storage capacity.

This will probably trigger a lot of people to finally buy an SD card or HDD for their console.


Why?
Its not like everyone wants to pay way to much for overpriced built in harddrives.

I am more than happy with something like this:


or with my NAS thats sitting next to my router.

Speaking of overpriced, we pay around $50 for 24GB more (the difference between 8GB and 32GB), seeing as the price difference between the Premium model and the other one tends to be around $50. And even then, it's still not enough space to even fit more than one game, depending on which games you pick, as several of them take up more than half of the space.

Uhm

Sensor bar?
Gamepad stand?
The 10% promotion on the eshop?

and I am pretty sure they dont use the cheapest flash memory (the one inside WiiU has to last longer than the average flash drive)


For me the WiiU flash memory was always savegame etc  stuff. I never thought it exists for game downloads.

Nintendo missed a big opportunity by using proprietary discs. If they shelled out the cash for a bluray licence, this wouldn't be a problem and the Wii U would also have more prowess in terms of entertaiment and media playback.

Ah well, hopefully next time I suppose.


Are you really surprised when they went with cartridges in the 5th gen and always used proprietary disc formats every gen after so they wouldn't have to pay license fees?

The last thing they needed was to be shelling out more cash, they already lost money on Wii U for it's first year on the market.

Good golly, imagine downloading the digital version of the game.

Even if its 50 gb its not that bad.  For one Nintendo has started allowing you to donwload games early, so you will have like 99% of the game downloaded weeks before the release date so it will only take 10 seconds ot update to be able to play and 50 gb dont' take too long.  plus just have it download over night.

I don't think I've ever known of an open world game that used two discs. Have any of you?



Bet with Xander XT: 

I can beat more games on his 3DS than he can on my PSVita in a month. Loser has to buy the winner a game on his/her handheld Guess who won? http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/thread.php?id=193531

Me!

But can the Wii U read dual layers?


It clearly can't, otherwise this article wouldn't exist.

Or it can and the devs are just hyping the game's content?

I hope it runs stable... Unlike Metroid Other M bricked my Wii. :S
