Captain Toad - Released on 2014

Teslagrad - E-Shop game aka NOT retail

 

So, only TWO (2) RETAIL games have released on the Wii U in almost half a year. I think that someone who dares to defend that doesnt deserve to be called a real gamer.

 

P.D. It's Kirby and the Rainbow Curse*

The HDD sizes are actually quite comparable given the simlar relative size of digital games.


you cant be talking about full retail games. Im sure stuff like Assassin's Creed is like 10 gigs MINIMUM. and a good chunk of games are in the 5 gig range. Yeah you wont be buying much digital on that.

http://www.destructoid.com/tag.phtml?t=File+Size+Guide

Plenty of full retail games under 5Gb (2Gb even) on the Wii U. Plenty of full retail games over 30Gb (50Gb even) on the Xbone.

Don't forget the HDD difference is not 32:500:500 Gb, but closer to 29:320:400 Gb after OS space requirements. And the PS4 and Xbone require installations for physical games as well don't they?

Naturally if you're planning to go all digital, in either case, you'd want a larger HDD. Except on the Wii U a 2TB HDD would easily last the life of the system, whereas on the others, you'd find yourself still needing more.

but you were talking full retail games on digital. So im going to assume thats what you were talking about, not sure why you brought up installs as that requires a game disc which again is not what you were reffering too. AC 3 alone takes up 17gigs thats more than half right there. SO you wont be able to get Batman or AC4 etc. Outside of Kirby, Toad, Splatoon, Mario etc. there arent a lot of games on that list that are retail and under 5 gigs. There's like ten thats not close to plenty

It really is unfortunate for the Wii U. It does seem to have great potential, but I don't think developers wanted to spend that amount of time on how to use it.

I was talking about storage sizes, and how a simple comparison of 32Gb vs 500Gb is disingenuous.

If the disc versions require a full install, they take up as much space as digital (which is not the case on the Wii U), so all of your physical games are taking up significant HDD space as well.

You obviously have a different number in mind, but 10 is plenty to me.
