I wished they would make a 500 gb sku eventually
since digital is destroying Nintendo's expectations.....

Lol,people are begging for a wii u price drop and you suggest price increase!:P

You can always buy or use if you already have,an external hard disk...Capacity of wii u isn't a problem!

Make a fire sale, Nintendo! You move all those stocked WiiUs, you can focus on one model, and I get to buy a cheap machine! Everybody wins!

Wii U basics are very rare in West long time now.

Yeah, I remember reading about Nintendo stopped shipping those in NA either early 2014 or toward the end of 2013.

But either way, hopefully the failure of the 8 GB (seriously hope whatever moron(s) thought that is a good idea is no longer with the hardware division if not the whole company) sku, taught Nintendo a lesson so that in the future they won't try to cheap out on hard drive space unless they sell the device cheap as well.


Imagine if they would have sold the 8 GB for $200 to $225 at launch how many units they would have moved. A lot of people would have been pissed about buying external hard drives but that price would have snagged some folk better then the original starting point of $300 for 8 GB and $50 more getting you 4 times more.

It`s about time. Why get an 8 gig when you can get the larger 32 one? I don`t understand why they can`t just have the two different colors be in 32. Not everyone wants a black Wii U u_u;

The Shiro Premium Wii U (32GB White) has been out for some time in Japan,

I remember Kamiya tweeting about buying one to play The Wonderful 101.

I actually thought the thing was already axed like over a year ago .

8GB for a console with such a focus on downloadable games and content was always a silly idea.

I honestly didnt know the White Wii U was still being made.

I have not seen one here for over a year now.
